First Book Friday: Catherynne M. Valente

[jimhines]

Welcome to First Book Friday.

Today I am delighted to welcome Catherynne M. Valente (yuki-onna on LJ) to the blog. I’ve been trying to figure out how best to introduce her here, and have come up with the following. Cat is a beautiful person who writes beautiful stories, and our world would be a poorer place without her.

Beautifully written as always, Cat.

I've always wondered about your publication story, thanks for sharing.

(Jim, I still think you should do a podcast about this.)

Gorgeous story. Thanks for sharing.

How very, very wonderful. And especially heartwarming for a small press editor to hear!

Actually, Jim, if someone sends chapters to Nick in that manner, I'd make some popcorn and look for updates on nihilistic_kid. (evil grin)

"Makes one hope that the squicky editor gets his comeupence though..."

Seconded.

Thirded. If I were submitting stories, I'd ask Cat privately where that happened, so that I could be sure of not submitting anything there.
