Some thoughts on the recent spate of cultural icon deaths… It is destabilizing to lose an anchor of inspiration. Like looking to your lodestar and finding it dark. Maybe, you feel, a piece of you has also died. But the fact is we exist in a continuum. We are not fixed points. We are a …
If I’ve been more than usually quiet this last month and a half it’s because I’ve been preoccupied moving to Oregon.

For more information, or to add events to your schedule, go here! Very excited that they gave me so much stuff to do!

Belated, I know, but if there is any overlap in between my readership and members of WorldCons 2015 (Sasquan), 2016 (MidAmeriCon II), and/or 2017 (WorldCon 75), and you’re having trouble filling out your Hugo Nomination ballots, here are my Hugo-eligible works, and their respective categories: Best Novella (A science fiction or fantasy story between 17,500 …
On this final Sunday in March, in honor of #DWJMarch and all fans of Diana Wynne Jones, I present a very tired author reading from Dogsbody, as suggested by Dragonrose, plus a bonus of my own choosing. It also features accompaniment from the iPad-Who-Would-Not-Be-Silenced, and my own dog, Frieda, on Squeaker (fairly certain not a Zoi) …
