Leaving Livejournal
So, lately all my posts here (or nearly all) are mirrored from annleckie.com, and crossposted over on Dreamwidth ( Read more... ) -
Cover Reveal: PROVENANCE
So, as it happens, I have a book coming out this year!
Also as it happens, it turns out I lied a little when I said folks who didn’t follow me on Tumblr weren’t missing anything but silly stuff. It’s mostly true-mostly I’m just silly on Tumblr. But this weekend Tumblr followers were treated to a slow-motion reveal of (most of) the cover (and title ( Read more... ) -

Kouign-amann update!
This is mostly for the St Louisans who read my blog, because I don’t imagine it will do anyone else much good.

On Tea
Hey, there’s some stressful and depressing shit going down lately. Let’s talk about something pleasant and stress-reducing!
Well, okay, so being super picky about making tea may be stress-INducing for some. If so, no worries. I have one, firm position on how to make the best cup of tea: the best cup of tea is one you enjoyed making (or making it ( Read more... ) -
On Contacting Your Elected Representatives
There’s a lot of contradictory information going around about contacting representatives (by which I mean both Senators and Congresspersons-the term “representatives” is unhelpfully ambiguous at times because it can mean just Congresspersons, or it can mean them and Senators who also do represent us, but anyway) there is, as I said, a lot of ( Read more... ) -
Vericon 2016 GoH Speech
Last year I was GoH at Vericon. It was a fabulous time! And while I was there, I gave a GoH speech. It’s the only one I’ve given so far, because usually organizers say something like “you can give a speech, or someone can interview you” and I go “INTERVIEW yes please interview me.”

On Mourning
I was going to make this a twitter thread, but while threads are a thing that works (more or less) on Twitter, making them can be kind of awkward. So I figured I’d blog this and link to it on Twitter.
So, I’ve been seeing some tweets and comments around that imply that someone(s) out there has been complaining that publicly mourning celebrities is ( Read more... ) -
Worldbuilders
Hey, you know what, I’ve been so distracted by Things and Life-stuff like current events, and turning in the next novel to my editors-that I missed the start of the annual Worldbuilders drive.
Do you know about Worldbuilders? It’s basically a drive for donations to Heifer International, which is a charity I like a lot. There are auctions for ( Read more... )
