Wow, Leah Bobet is Gorgeous and Tall. This is the thought that popped into my mind when I first spotted her across the room at this year’s Nebula Awards weekend. We’d become friends online after our nomination for the Andre Norton Award, but matching a real-life face to an avatar is always a lovely surprise. (I Tweeted Leah and…
I met Emily Jiang in San Jose at this year’s Nebula Awards Weekend. The group we were with all hiked to a restaurant for lunch and Emily and I sat across from each other. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to fall in love with a person. The minute I found out Emily wrote (and sang!), I asked her to…
I met Justin Macumber on a podcast. (Isn’t the 21st Century Wonderful?) Justin was the guest host on Dave Robison’s Writers Roundtable when I was asked on as the guest author. Together we all workshopped a story by Lauren Harris. I was really struck by Justin’s insight into the story–the comments he made were incredibly logical and seemed spot-on…
I was instantly struck by Shanna Germain the moment I met her. No, not physically, silly people — it was just one of those instant connections on a higher plain. Of course, she was already a very good friend of my very good friend Mary Robinette Kowal…and dear friends of my own dear friends are instantly cherishable to me….
Sarah Beth Durst and I met last fall at the Baltimore Book Festival. I thought she was super cute, but as the Fairy Goddaughters say, “Lee, you think everyone is super cute.” We took a pic together, but we didn’t really have time to hang out. Fast forward to this summer and Nebula Awards Weekend in San Jose, where…
Last July, I was honored to launch my Month of Authors and Artists interviews with a Q&A from Tara, the model on the cover of Enchanted. This year, I’m thrilled to begin the month by bringing you an interview with Chaeli — the model on the cover of Hero! While the Hero cover has gone through multiple revisions, It’s…
Hello, everyone, and HAPPY JULY! I’d like to welcome you all to Princess Alethea’s third annual MONTH OF AUTHORS AND ARTISTS. Kicking off things will be my good friend D.B. Jackson (aka David B. Coe), whose fantastic new book Thieves Quarry hits shelves TOMORROW. Thieves Quarry is the sequel to Thieftaker, a book I thoroughly enjoyed and reviewed here….
There are authors I know who say they would rather die than ever show their first attempt at a novel to the world. I am not one of these authors. In the Fall of 1987, my English teacher decided that she wanted our class to write in a journal every day. I did not like this teacher and decided…
Today over at the Waterworld Mermaid lagoon, I’m talking about name pronunciation…specifically, my own. This has been a very harrowing six weeks, and having people call me by the wrong name for that long is possibly the reason for the migraine I’m currently having. How badly has YOUR name ever been mangled? Tell me all about it HERE. I’m…
Those following on Facebook (and sometimes Twitter) know that right now publicity for the paperback of Enchanted is the LAST thing on my mind right now, as my niece undergoes a very dangerous heart surgery up in Burlington, VT. But, as my very wise and significantly more published friends have reminded me, the publishing machine does not stop for…
