Here is my schedule for Capclave 2011. I’d also like to note that this is my very first Kaffeeklatsch. Which is just FUN TO SAY. And if no one shows up, I get to have coffee alone with Edmund.

People are always wondering how to say my name. Every so often, I have to make a post and remind them. Thanks to clever Audacity and the fabulous microphone on my Powerbook, I can say it for you aloud so there is no misunderstanding. READY?!? Say it with me: ALETHEA KONTIS Now I’m going to stick this on my…
This clever pic nabbed from my friend & fellow Mermaid Robin Covington: Speaking of Mermaids, have you stopped by the website this week? There’s more free fiction up — parts one and two of “The Comfort Boy” by Carlene Love Flores is now available for your Very Free viewing pleasure. Can’t beat that price!

That’s right! At midnight EST tonight, my dearest bosom companion Leanna Renee Hieber will be randomly drawing from the commenters on THIS BLOG POST to see who wins a copy of John Skipp’s DEMONS anthology, autographed by MOI! (I hear there are some other pretty decent authors in this anthology as well. Like this Neil Something.) All you have…
Ariell’s beautiful and talented friend Natalie drew this picture of me, for me, and it is so many kinds of fabulous that I wanted to share it with you…and discuss some things. First of all, I am fabulous and gorgeous. I have huge eyes and awesome cleavage and the tiara is perfect and this dress ROCKS. So far,…
I can’t remember what I was supposed to blog about today, so here is a cute doggie for you. (Yup, it’s a real puppy! Sent to me by a friend.) Enjoy!
