First of all: Miyajima Pictures! As I've been hopping literally all over the world, I begin to get a glimpse of how much work supporting those first novels and stories can be. I'm not traveling for my books yet, but boy, my heart really goes out to all of you in airports, longing to be [...]

I just can't justify an almost $900 ticket to Canada after our Japan extravaganza. On top of that, no one to share hotel with. The trip would be a huge amount out of pocket. So, unless there's some sort of Alberta miracle, it ain't happening. Which means I'll hit our local Icon for a day, [...]

Translation: Internet next door. Julie Rose: Writers and their Soundcasts highlighting Mark Teppo and Mandy Roth. I would like to tell you that I am already for Portus, and I worked on writing and sewing last night, but let's be honest here. Jet lag and convention living caught up with me. I went to bed [...]

Travelogue of Japan begins with Fukuoka. So far, the gallery is florally heavy. This week I'll be at Portus, moderating the Portus YA Series, and reading Neville Longbottom and the Heroic Journey. If you're in the area, feel free to stop by the Hilton Anatole. On Saturday, the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading at Wiscon [...]

I think, if I were accepted, I could get the college to cover the majority of Viable Paradise. I think about the idea of joining a writing group, but [...]

(actually, this is the I've been in Japan, catch up version, and encompasses more than one week!) The prologue to my Victorian Action adventure novel Blood is Thicker than Water is now live. Cat posts her 4 Seasons pictures! Jenn talks about I Should Be Writing, Mur Lafferty's podcast, Scrivener, and Self Editing for Fiction [...]

Catching up with some stuff on the Internet... Julie Rose has her interview with Mark Teppo up at Writers and Their Soundtracks. It's a mighty fine interview, given by someone who actually thought about their questions. Darned that Mark Teppo! Makes me want to raise my intellectual bar. Or something. *** I mentioned this before, [...]

Are you going to be at Convergence in Minneapolis this weekend? I'll be participating in a Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading on Saturday at 3:30. I'll be reading an excerpt of Sister Night, Sister Moon, soon to be released from Drollerie Press. Check your program book for final details, but we're supposed to be in [...]
