I’ve said before that Robin McKinley is one of my favorite authors, and that if there’s anyone that I think my writing is like, it’s probably (hopefully) hers. I reread many of her ( Read more... )

Why hello there, bloggity! I have a little review for you! Today, I’m reviewing Nnedi Okorafor’s novella, Binti, which I read and enjoyed. There will necessarily be spoilers, because I don’t think I can talk about this without them.

Binti is SF, set in a future where Earth is one of many planets that have interstellar travel. Our protagonist, Binti ( Read more... )

Hippo Gnu Deer, everyone! It’s New Year’s Eve, and while I am going to put up a more serious post with a yearly wrap-up and natter on about writing (and dancing, because obviously) and such (probably tomorrow), I thought I’d offer up a little December silliness for all and sundry.

On Twitter (@frabjouslinz) and Facebook, I’ve been posting up a ( Read more... )

I spent some time at Norwescon this past weekend - the local science fiction and fantasy convention. Note: Not Sakuracon, that happens downtown, and is an anime convention that’s held the same weekend. I haven’t ever been to Sakuracon, although I hear it’s a good time for the anime fans. Norwescon is held at the Seatac Doubletree.

I didn’t ( Read more... )

This is not a party, where people know your name...

March marched through rather quickly, and I am eternally unprepared. I did finish the most recent round of edits to A Ragged Magic, and even sent them to my Fabulous Editor Jak on time (!). Since it took me the 8 weeks I said it would (although not the 6 weeks I was hoping for, partly due to my ( Read more... )

And now, the continuing saga of a quack who’s gone to the dogs. No, wait, that’s Dr. Bob on the Muppets’ Veterinarian Hospital. So instead, we’ll have the continuing saga of things not going as planned, but still somehow time keeps marching forward. Sometimes over our prone, exhausted bodies. What? It’s Fall.

I woke up this morning from an intense dream, where I was two people running from … someone. Mitch and Krissy: I was both of them, and there was a car following them. Mitch could tell it was driven by a "professional." Something to do with dark glasses and the car and the way he was driving. Mitch spun the wheel of the car/truck (it was both) he ( Read more... )
