Dragon Princess
For the last few years, I’ve been asked the question: “Was this the best Dragon*Con ever?” My response was usually a shrug. It’s always difficult to top the first of course, back in 1996…or the one in 2003 when–after a 5 year hiatus–Kit and I dropped everything and decided two days before to get tickets and a hotel room…
Whirrled-Con 2008
It’s an amazing feeling. You know, that feeling you get when you discover a new author. You put down the brilliant novel you’ve just finished, completely enraptured, and you hope this person has a ton of backlist that you can go straight to the nearest B&N and fill your shopping cart with. You can’t get enough of them. You’re…
Beauty & Dynamite Book Trailer
Yes, folks, here it is — the official Beauty & Dynamite Book Trailer. It’s not much, but it’s mine, and I love it. Kudos to Stephanie Rinehart for piecing this together before and after her finals this year, and to my beautiful friend Fontaine, whose voice still gives me goosebumps after all these years. Tweet
Genre Chick Interview: Edmund Schubert
In October of 2005, Orson Scott Card launched Orson Scott Card’s Intergalactic Medicine Show—an online magazine featuring spectacular science fiction and fantasy tales, gorgeous professional artwork, and an original story from Card’s Ender universe in every issue. Less than a year later, he named SF bad man Edmund Schubert editor of the now-quarterly ‘zine. A new anthology compiles a…
At Last: The High School Reunion Story (Part 4)
Casey and I stepped down from the stage, blushing like mad. Erik was nowhere to be seen. What the heck? “Maybe nobody heard that,” I wishfully thought aloud. “Oh, yes they did,” said Matt. Damn. Turns out, Erik wasn’t even in the room when Casey made our scandalous announcement. Maybe he was in the bathroom or in the main…
At Last: The High School Reunion Story (Part 3)
The directions to the place where our 15-year reunion was being held were a street address, along with the words “across from the rocket.” Deep in the bowels of downtown Columbia, past the industrial middle of nowhere, lie the fairgrounds. Smack in the middle of those fairgrounds is a garishly painted rocket, the landmark to beat all landmarks. Upon…
At Last: The High School Reunion Story (Part 2)
It’s one thing to feel like you’ve known somebody for twenty years, and another to actually have done so. You get to skip over all the preamble, all the “getting to know you” junk, all the “you just had to be there” moments, because they already know you. They were there. They wore the glasses and the braces and…
At Last: The High School Reunion Story (Part 1)
I tell people that my high school years were like a television show, but I know they don’t believe me. It’s true, though: there were almost 600 kids in my graduating class, which is enough people to shake out over four years into definite strata. There were the popular kids who ate lunch in the cafeteria and got voted…
Assassin Recall
The price of being a princess: a disturbing number of people took Fred’s letter seriously (including my mother!), so Fred posted this comment on my blog. Per request, I’ve recalled my flying monkey assassins. ********************************* You see, Alethea? I told you some people wouldn’t realize it was a joke. Now Kontisphile assassins are on the way to my house…
