I know, I owe a write-up of the craziness that was Book Expo America 2013 last week in NYC. Â And I will get to it…. just not this week, because there are deadlines gnawing on my heels and ears. Meanwhile, I’ve been trying to embed this video, but it keeps fighting back. So here’s a […]
That Was the BEA That Was… (a link and a promise) Read More »
It rains. Â And is chilly. Â I am not feeling the urge to haul down to the farmer’s market this morning. Â In fact, my only urge is to sit on the sofa, nom toast-and-coffee, and work on the Hard-Deadline Client Project. I suppose that’s not a bad goal, actually. Meanwhile, I have this odd feeling that

Thanks to the offices of a good friend who -despite gas rationing and shortages- was still willing to drive me to the airport at oh ack thirty, I made my flight with a minimum of stress. And we apparently had not a tailwind but a shake-your-tailwind, because we beat the predicted arrival time by a

I will be out as L.A. Kornetsky, supporting the new mystery series, but most of the bookstores have said they’re willing to order the fantasy novels on request, too (and Mysterious Galaxy, of course, will Have All).

Spain was lovely, and while I wrote up a quick trip report of the first few days for BookViewCafe, I then fell off the blogging wagon entirely and merely tweeted random updates as we had bandwidth and energy. As soon as I get the photos identified and posted, I’ll let the three of you who’re
My two panels both went quite well, with a lot of laughter and some insights on why we super the natural, and why cities are so fertile for fiction, and good audience participation, and Sharon Lee almost being et by her chair (more on that later). Then my signing, which was busy for about 15

Woke up remarkably late (7:30), made coffee, ate some home-made lemon pound cake, and did some revision work on DRAGON JUSTICE. This is an interesting revision, in that the color and details all work, but part of the plot is undergoing change, for various reasons. It’s a slow, careful slog, to make sure everything is

Linky Things: It’s Friday, so you know what that means: Self-publish? Big Six? Something Else? Practical Meerkat has her say, in week 45. My Kickstarter project, a “prequel” novella set in the universe of The Vineart War, hit 51% funded in the first week!  I’ve started writing – I can’t help myself – so I

Where the hell did the month go? And yet, here is is, the end of October, and so, tomorrow I am off to World Fantasy Conference, in San Diego. I will miss the group signing tonight at Mysterious Galaxy, which makes me Very Sad, but it couldn’t be helped. If you happen to be there,
