"Tuck a cloud up under my chin. Lord, blow the moon out, please."
No Seroquel last night, and it was a rough night. But I saw my dreams again. Hopefully, tonight I'll be so exhausted that it'll be easier to sleep without those tiny red demons. It's a step in the right direction, now that the millstone of Cherry Bomb is no longer hung about my neck ( Read more... ) -

Once again, it's freezing here in Providence. Currently sunny and 30˚F.
Yesterday, I learned that I'd made the 2012 Locus Recommended Reading List four times over, in four different categories: Novel (The Drowning Girl: A Memoir), Collections (Confessions of a Five-Chambered Heart), Novelette ("Fake Plastic Trees"), and Short Story ("Goggles [c. ( Read more... ) -
"It's like a book elegantly bound, but in a language that you can't read just yet."
A very good turn out last night at Pandemonium Books in Boston, and many books were sold and signed, and I read Chapter One of The Drowning Girl: A Memoir aloud (all of it), and I talked long into the night (well, well after nine p.m., I think) about making the book trailer, fictional autobiography, cover art (both exquisite and wretched), ( Read more... ) -

Yesterday, the temperature climbed near 60˚F here in Providence. Today, we'll be lucky to reach 44˚F. Presently, it's mostly cloudy and 43˚F (36˚F if you factor in the windchill). I noted that in Atlanta the temperature is currently 68˚F, and, yet, I'm still glad not to be there. I have rarely lived anywhere so bereft of a "soul" as is Atlanta. By ( Read more... ) -

Not much in the mood for an entry today. We'll play a nice game of catch up tomorrow.
My thanks to everyone who has donated mine and kylecassidy's Drowning Girl Kickstarter project. At this point, it's 141% funded, and we still have twenty-eight days to go. And there are some amazing new rewards, soon to be announced. So, it's not too late. Also, people ( Read more... ) -

The Dry Salvages Redux
Sonya and I are reading through The Dry Salvages (Subterranean Press, 2004). It's the last real hurdle in finishing up editing Two Worlds and In Between.
There's a lot of ancient history here.
The Dry Salvages (for those who do not know) is a very short sf novel about the ill-fated exploration of an extrasolar moon - Piros, which orbits a planet ( Read more... )
