We've all survived our dance with the Piglicker Flue over here. This was not the year to partake of the Kiss a Pig For Charity booth at the Country Fair, just sayin'. All we have to show for it is stronger immune systems, one rather mundane (in the end) visit to the ER, and lots of conversations where we sound like old Soviet women who have ( Read more... )

Breaking radio silence to update everyone on my World Fantasy Schedule this coming weekend. In case someone has trouble finding me.

FRI 8:30 PM >> Regency Ballroom >> Group Autographing

Dinner at Alinea tonight. And then four days of hanging out with my sword brothers. It's sort of like ninja camp, but with, you know, better dining.

The Check That Is In The Mail? I got it today. Along with a note from my agent that says (and I'm going to quote him because it speaks very highly of Scribe's perseverance): "One of the original state goals of Scribe when we first started out was: find that one guy who wrote that cool ass book and get it published. That 'one guy' was of course ( Read more... )

I have been remiss in updating so I'll chunk out a bullet list and we'll move on from there.

(*) Lightbreaker is in stores (mostly; B & N appears to have gotten caught short, but they're hanging their heads and waiting for their orders to disperse to the stores). Heartland is moving through the editorial process and is on track for Feb 2010 ( Read more... )
