The super moon hits its peak tonight at 8:52 EST. Cool, eh? # So I’m back from TusCon43, which was a great time, and where I met lots of great people. The panels I was part of presenting or sat in on were full of vigorous conversation. I signed a few books, and got to […]

Read More ...My ConFusion Schedule
I’ve been a terrible person and not mentioned that I’ll be in Detroit, attending ConFusion, from January 17th-19th. This will mark the third time I’ve been at this convention, and it’s always a fun time. I get to see Brigid and Nick, and I get to see and spend time with a bunch of interesting […]
Read More ...DetCon schedule…finally, eh?
Just a note for all the folks out there who will be in Detroit for this week’s DetCon, I’ll be doing a couple pieces of programming–both Friday. If you’re in the zone, stop in and say hey! Friday – 10:00AM: Reading (with Stephen Leigh) I’m still in the mode of deciding exactly what I’m going […]

I’ve decided there’s very little that’s more cool than going to a publisher’s party and seeing a cake made up with a book cover, and having that book cover carry your name. Seriously, can there be much cooler than that? It happened last night at the Dell party (Dell publishes Analog and Asimov’s), and the […]

Lisa and I will be in San Antonio for Worldcon this year, which should be quite fun. I say that with special meaning this time because, you see, when I go to Worldcon, I usually go with a plan–the trip always had a business orientation, or a slant toward which I want to lean my […]

Read More ...The ConFusion Bounce
Okay, so ConFusion was hella-fun. I can tell when a convention has worked for me when I find myself just wanting to write forever after I get back. That’s certainly the case tonight. It took us pretty much all day to drive back, so I’m brain-dead tired, and busy doing some basic clean-up and latching […]
Read More ...Welcome to Hectic City
Holy Cows, has January been hectic. I mean, fifteen days have absolutely flown past. I’m working the normal 9-10 hours a day, reading tons of short stuff, and getting to the gym occasionally. I’ve easily topped my 20K steps a day goal as an average. I took a full day and pulled off a surprise […]
