I warned you. Here it is. :)
Please support me in the Clarion Write-a-Thon. We start writing on June 24th and continue until August 4th, the 6 weeks that Clarion is running this year in San Diego.

Clarion Write-a-Thon
I'll be doing the Clarion Write-a-Thon again this year. I haven't had much of a chance to really sit down with it, trick out my author page, hit people up for money, etc. What with Wiscon and work and then getting sick. But! I will. I will totally hit you guys up for support (monetary and non-monetary). So watch this space ( Read more... ) -

Wiscon 36 Con Report - Convo Edition
So this Wiscon I felt like I was always talking to a different group of people! For me, I get all these intersections at Wiscon. Wiscon itself and the people running it, Broad Universe, Outer Alliance, Clarion, people I met in previous years, people I met online (usually _because_ of Wiscon in some way). And this year in particular, I really felt ( Read more... ) -
Wiscon 36 Con Report - Food Edition
On the way to Wiscon, I bought a hummus sandwich at the Cosi in the airport. It has leaves of basil on it, which was odd. I would've preferred spinach. I also bought a bagel at DD. The fate of the hummus sandwich -- I ate most of it on the bus, discarded the rest eventually. The fate of the bagel -- turned hard and got thrown out, but I used the ( Read more... ) -
Wiscon 36 Con Report - Travel Edition Part 2
Turns out a shuttle from the hotel across the street from where I live is cheaper than the cab to the bus station + bus ticket. So I'll be doing that more often in the future. The downside is no wifi on the shuttle, but it's a shorter trip ( Read more... ) -
Wiscon 36 Con Report - Book Edition
Books I failed to buy, that I had intended to:
Steam-powered 2 -- Didn't find it in the dealer's room.
Are You My Mother? -- Decided it was too heavy and also that I didn't want to pay full price. Sorry, AROOO!
a & e 4ever -- Intended to buy it from Lethe Press, but they weren't there(!) I saw it at one point somewhere, but then when I realized ( Read more... ) -
Wiscon 36 Con Report - Travel Edition
Nearly an hour after I left my house, 35.50$ poorer, I am now a 5 minute car ride away from my house. But, hey, free wifi. Anyway, it turns out an airport shuttle is cheaper and while it wouldn't pick me up directly at my house for that price, it would pick me up at the hotel across the street. This bus is more crowded than I'm used to seeing it ( Read more... ) -
AC Crispin
Pointing you to Jim Hines's post on AC Crispin. I don't have time to tell you how awesome the Starbridge novels are, but they are and you should go buy them. If you like Star Trek, you'll like them. And a couple of them have a Deaf main character who is _also_ a woman and _also_ Native American (I regret I can't remember the tribe). So yea, ( Read more... ) -
