My dear friend Mary Robinette Kowal tweeted a link to this article the other day and brought it to my attention: Fairy-Princess Ranks Depleting As Girls Aspire To Be Doctors, Lawyers Now here’s where the Onion’s Beaureau of Statistics has got a loophole. Yes I am, for all intents and purposes, a Fairy Princess. I have called myself such…
…the one hosted by Betty White, no less! (Betty White is my homegirl. I adore that Snickers commercial with her. You know the one.) This is how I got mentioned on Saturday Night Live: There’s a segment called “Really?” with Seth and Amy (though it could be done FAR better — and should be — by Kelli Dunlap). At…
The lovely folks over at the Provo City Library in Utah have a fabulous blog where they review books from their collection. And they reviewed AlphaOops: H is for Halloween, dontcha know! I won’t spoil it for you…but I will say that they seemed to like it. Thanks, Provo City Library! (Want to find out more about this library?…

The grand prize winner will be featured in her newsletter and on her website. Come one, come all and get your geek on! Friday — TONGHT! 8:30PM, Int’l South (Hyatt)
One of the great things about a Con as huge as Dragon*Con is living through it vicariously. Thanks to all the newfangled inventions the whippersnappers of the twenty-first century have drummed up, there are tons of ways you can check out what’s going on as it happens…and even before it happens. There’s already a buzz going on Twitter if…
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…
Remember how Rick Novy (editor of the 2020 Visions anthology) was writing up a brief piece on each person in the anthology and why he picked their story? Well, today is my day and Rick says some very lovely things, both about me and “Pocket Full of Posey”. I won’t spoil it for you — Click on over there…
The cover for Issue #9 Beautiful art by Tom Brown! Design, layout and editing by Danny Evarts. It’s creepy and gorgeous all at the same time. And green, which is my favorite color, so no complaints from me. No sirree Bob. The funny part is that when I first saw the cover, my eye immediately landed on Lon Prater‘s…
You kids and your newfangled contraptions… Thanks to a dutiful Google Alert, I am happy to report that Beauty & Dynamite is available on Smashwords. Check it out here — it lets you read the first bunch of pages for free (score!), but you have to pay (thank you) a mere $2.99 to read the rest. No fancy reader…
