Finding Useful Information

Came across a blog that looked really interesting...here's the link. It's by Victoria Strauss, about which marketing methods don't work.

Just in case my link doesn't work, here it is.

Back from Arisia!

And a good time was had by all. As usual, learned a lot, partied a lot, didn't sleep a lot.

My reading went well, and the other women who participated in the RFR were just awesome!

Here's to next year!

P.S. Anybody up for Balticon???

Backtrack

I've decided to continue with my original thought. There's going to be a space battle in the middle of an urban fantasy. Let's not prejudge, shall we? Besides, it just might turn out well.

Don't worry though. Parker won't be flying any spaceships...

The Horror Show

The day job has taken over my life again...but I'll be back soon!

Whew...

It's been a difficult summer. The death of a close family member, then my own issues taking center stage...

I'm writing again, this time working on a different version of Jahannan's Children since the first one was too "science-fiction-y" (or so my editor says). I'm sure she's right, because when I re-read The Underground, I could see how a space battle might turn off readers who're into urban fantasy. On the other hand, they may not care. So I think I'll just continue on the path I'm on, and see what happens.

Thanks for reading while I think.

Balticon 44

Hi, there...

Been a while, hasn't it? Well, sometimes life just bees that way.

I'm attending Balticon 44 of course, and I'm reading with the Broad Universe panel (in fact, I'm the moderator) but what's new is that I'll be on a panel entitled "Starship Troopers" (the book, not the movie) and its relevance to the world today. The panel is Sunday, May 30th at 11 AM. Stop on by and join the fun!

Round One

The Underground made the first cut in the American Breakthrough Novel Award (ABNA) contest. On to the next!
