1) Got up, got dressed, and got to yoga class this morning, and even managed to get in some swimming and a soak in the hot tub before the snowpocalypse arrived. But it's starting to look like any minute now out there: the sky is flat winter white, and the roofers across the street are packing it in ( Read more... )

Five things make a post, right?

1) There's new Shadow Unit content, as is traditional for Friday mornings.

2) I'm at Readercon, and have kind of a packed schedule today. Hope to see some of you here. I'll be doing a talk about Dust today, and a reading, and so on.

3) Ginger tea is good for questionable tummies.

Five random things make a post:

1) We saw a pair of red-bellied woodpeckers nesting in a dead snag, yesterday. I have never seen a red-bellied woodpecker before. The male and female had somewhat different cries, which was interesting, and the male's head (I assume it was the male, because he was outside the nest and the other bird was inside) was ( Read more... )

Five random things make a post:

1) My story, "Your Collar," is live and free at the Spring issue of Subterranean. It's set in the same universe as "Orm the Beautiful," but with a different monster. I think there will be at least one more story in this setting, but I have not written it yet.

2) I hadn't known, but apparently A Companion to Wolves ( Read more... )

1. Wastelands sold out it's initial print run, so JJA has announced a second print run. And, as a teaser, placed a few more stories online. One of them is my "And the Deep Blue Sea."

2. Several of my books and short stories made the Locus best of list for 2007.

3. Between them, colomon, slithytove and cvillette have given me a Leonard Cohen earworm that will not quit ( Read more... )

five random things make a post, because something just made me miss wilfulcait an awful lot all of a sudden.

1) Today so far was a ton of work on the secrit projekt, all mostly administrative/website stuff. But it was good work, and it needed to be done.

2) Next work, after I get a cup of coffee, is some revisioning at Hell & Earth. I am on page 234, more ( Read more... )

1) stillsostrange and I made it to Toronto, through storm, lightning, killer truckers, restaurant delays, and suspicious border guards. The Canadians may be on the lookout for two redheaded desperadas travelling together ( Read more... )
