Hot as fuck all in the house. The temperature in the middle parlor never dropped below 80˚F last night, and right now it must be 90˚F in my office. I seem finally to have gotten too warm. Which is sort of a relief. I blame the hotel's Antarctic AC. TODAY, Alabaster: Wolves #4 goes on sale. Buy it. Please. It has the best cover of the lot (thank you ( Read more... )

Tomorrow afternoon we leave for Readercon 23. It's going to be very, very weird, not only being a Guest of Honor, but sharing that spotlight with Peter Straub, a man whose writing I have admired since I was in high school (Don't worry, Peter, I'm old, too; past a certain age, each year becomes irrelevant).
