My Face, Out In The World

[sarahtales]

Here is a video of me and Justine Larbalestier talking about our book Team Human (which is coming out July 3rd, i.e. in LESS THAN A MONTH!), about cowriting, love for vampires and humans, and worldbuilding.

I always find it a little disconcerting to see pictures of myself and videos of myself. 'Oh my good God, I look like such an idiot, my face

Youth is beauty. Realize that now!

Well, my baby bro did tell me that women start to look dramatically worse after twenty-five... then I beat him up...

I think all ages can be beauty! But on the other end of it, all ages can be 'whaaaat... did my face just do? Surely that's not right.' ;)

I think the thing is, we have a certain mental image in mind. I do not like looking in the mirror and seeing my grandmother! Wait, who did that to me?

Anyway, looking forward to the book--it sounds awesome.

'Who is thaaaaat?' I always wonder vaguely.

And, aw, thank you!

It could be worse...

The Bloggess did a live video chat/reading for her new book a few weeks ago. She lives in TX, and it is quite warm there right now. She did not realize until afterwards that the strapless dress that she was wearing was not visible on-camera, eating to her appearing to be doing her reading naked! Which there is probably a market for but not for this particular work...

[sarahtales]

Whoo, my time for accidental nudity is not yet!

... Probably means it's coming, though...

I love your face! I enjoy looking at it greatly. I also enjoy hearing things about Team Human, which sounds awesomer by the minute!

[sarahtales]

Aw, thank you! I am pretty cool with the face but feel some contact embarrassment. ;)

And I can't wait for you to read Team Human.

What a cute video! I am definitely on Team Vampire. :D

How interesting, that your vampires don't show emotion. Hmm! I really am looking forward to reading the book and seeing what you and Justine have created. ^^

I'm glad you liked! Our worldbuildin' and vampire building (in the book, we didn't... make any vampire robots...) was a lot of fun.

I met Seamus Heaney last year. He's tiny. But - yeah. Class. Class is the way to go.

[sarahtales]

I shall conquer him with my amazonian height. ;)

[desperance]

I tried that. I say again, class is the way to go.
