I love vlogs. I really need to do one someday. Until then, I will be content knowing that I’ve been name-dropped in one. Hooray! The Qwillery is giving away a copy of Werewolves and Shape Shifters: Encounters with the Beasts Within. This brief vlog shows you the book, tells you a little bit about it, and mentions the contest…
It was all the rage in high school: South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts. As a junior or senior you could audition for their summer program in one discipline: visual art, ballet, drama, singing, writing…there may have been others, but two of those defined who I was. There was only one problem. I had to choose between them….
I have been notified that Zero Gravity, one of the anthologies I’m in this year from Pill Hill Press, has been selected to be released as one of their Limited Edition Hardcovers. These Limited Editions are only available from the Pill Hill website (click here). They are available through December 31st, 2010. Zero Gravity will be available in late…
1990. Ninth grade. Casey and I were in the midst of our writing heyday. We were churning out poetry and short stories by the truckload–I had a novel in the works, and between us (and Margo and Chris) we had a collaborative novel that was already a legend among our set. We were romantic young teens who bought matching…
There’s a popular blog post being linked to discussing 20 Great Things About Dating a Writer. It’s all very peachy and SARKy and amusing and true. I would print it out and seal it with a kiss and give it to the Fairy GodBoyfriend in half a heartbeat. but… The other half of that heartbeat knows the dark side…
Trade paperback, 278 pages of dystopian SF…Dark Futures is here! Lost track of which short story this is? Me too. (That’s why I keep this blog.) Inside Dark Futures is “Black Hole Sun”, my short story collaboration with Kelli Dunlap. According to the online bookstores, Dark Futures is already available. (only $10.76 at Amazon and B&N) Isn’t technology great?…
One of the best things about Dragon*Con — I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — is the whole community of folks that keep it going. It’s constantly amazing how something so large can remain so fluid and consistent without exploding spectacularly into flames. Since the lovely folks there have been awesome enough to keep inviting me…
Another FABULOUS review for AlphaOops: H is for Halloween, this time from Kiss the Book. My favorite part is at the end where it says ESSENTIAL in all caps. I know it’s technically a category this particular site puts books into, but it still gave me warm fuzzies. Click on over this way to see the rest. I have…
By now you’ve heard if it — China’s massive 11-day-and-counting gridlock traffic jam. It apparently started with an overabundance of cargo-bearing trucks and was compounded by road construction. There’s already a microcosm blossoming with its own population and economic system of supply and demand. And more importantly…where are these poor people going to the bathroom? Some of you may…
So I’m packed for Dragon*Con–finally–and I’m waiting for my nails to dry. (Typing on a keyboard is a lovely way to do that without seriously screwing them up.) I’m terribly behind on my geek street cred: I never finished watching the last season of Doctor Who (mostly cause I didn’t want David Tennant to leave), nor did I watch…
The Portuguese (BR) edition of “For Angels to Fly”…
The Spanish (MX) edition of “For Angels to Fly”…
UPDATE: Chris and I came up with a fun…
