"Dreaming of Mercy Street, wear your inside out."

Yesterday, or the day before (I actually can't remember), FedEx brought an envelope from Dark Horse that I suspect contains the final issue of Alabaster: Wolves. I'm not sure, because I haven't opened it. Probably, I never will. I've said many times, I don't read my books once their published, once it's done

I am both excited for the final Dark Horse installment of Alabaster:Wolves. I am enjoying it very much, but I always have a bit of sadness at the end of a tale I love and want more, so will probably sit unopened as long as I can withstand it, but I know I will succumb to its lure before long.

[greygirlbeast]

Fortunately, I know the ending.

Branching universes, Heisenberg.....

Looking forward to more science fiction, although I am sure I will enjoy whatever tales you spin, no matter the genre.

Nice.

Thank you.

Yay for new sales. Personally I stopped thinking of you as any one genre author a while back. You don't fit any one genre, I file your books in my 'weird fiction' shelves because well, when someone asks me for authors to read after they get into HPL, you're one of the names I rattle off as 'you'd probably like these authors'.

And while I am getting tired of zombies, they still trump vampires. I'd like more sea monsters though.

Depends on how the vampires are handled. Then again, I admit to a vampire fetish, so long as the vampires are genuinely gruesome. And yeah. Sea monsters. Though the word "monster" is suspect.

[vulpine137]

True, I should have said 'vampires that seem to just be pretty and angsty'. If I remember correctly you liked 30 Days of Night. Those were fun vampires. And how about 'stupid humans getting eaten by sea creatures'?

And sexy. Well, if your me.

And how about 'stupid humans getting eaten by sea creatures'?

Any humans.

I would think your science background has lots of great inspiration for making aliens really alien!

Out here in California, Pat MacEwen (physical anthropologist by day, science fiction writer by night) often does talks on “Alien Sex” at science fiction conventions, presenting all kinds of mindboggling behavior from real-world biology and asking: what would a sentient species be like with a reproductive strategy like that? I often go back to my notes from her presentations when I’m working on a species for Friday night game.

And not how few successful sf writers are both good writers and have a background in science. For that matter, not how many successful lousy authors...well, same thing.

[slothman]

Nope, wouldn’t have occurred to me in the first place. You are not a member of the sets {lousy authors} or {writers without science background}, so that wouldn’t enter into consideration. I was thinking you might wind up in the same recommendation lists as C J Cherryh and C S Friedman.

Perhaps I could live with that. Maybe.

"And Jesus fuck, isn't the world sick of fucking zombies yet?"

Absolutely. I don't know why they are so popular.

I have to say though, I am intrigued by the new movie "Paranorman" by the same studio that did Neil Gaiman's "Coraline" adaptation.

I could write an essay...

Alas, I hated the Coraline adaptation, and will be skipping Paranorman.

[greygirlbeast]

I'd read it!

I could write it, but I never shall.

I've always held a soft spot for your SF. I've lost count of how many times I've read THE DRY SALVAGES. That's great news for purely selfish reasons.
