So the postman knocks on the door and I’m all “postman, huh, weird, I wonder what he’s delivering, I’m not expecting anything,” and he hands me this thing that says “art” on the customs slip and I’m all like “art? art? i don’t think i ordered any art? what–oh, from Eleri? Oh, she must have seen something that made her think of me, how sweet of her,” all this while I’m opening the package, and I open it so I’m looking at the back and it says “Joanne’s Story” and…

Recent Reads: The Great Way
As I may have mentioned in the past, one of the great advantages to my job is that I’m often offered the opportunity to read books early (and one of the disadvantages is that I don’t always have time). In this particular case, I got to read Harry Connolly‘s The Great Way trilogy a little while before the Kickstarter crew and then the world in general. And I was, to put it modestly, chewing at the bit for the chance. It lived up to–I hesitate to even say expectations. I…
Shaman Rises SPOILERS thread
Okay, just in case people desperately need to discuss SHAMAN RISES, I’m starting a spoilers thread on my blog. I would ask people on G+ and Facebook, particularly, to pop over to either mizkit.com or mizkit at livejournal to discuss the book, because it’s much too easy to spoil people in FB/G+ comments. I will summarily delete anything I regard as spoilery from G+ and FB comments, just in case.
SHAMAN RISES!
Know what today is? Today is the day SHAMAN RISES, last book of the Walker Papers, hits the shelves! Go forth! Buy! Enjoy! Weep! Um. Well. Um. O.O Seriously, I’m all big-eyed about this, because it’s the end of an era. I wrote URBAN SHAMAN in the year 2000, although it took me a while to do anything about it, but it means I’ve been working on this series for well over a decade, and to have the last book coming out…wow. I hope you all like it. :)
five things make a post
I had things to post about when I opened this window, I swear. Now I’ve forgotten them all. Well, anyway. Let’s see. There was an early showing of the second How To Train Your Dragon movie yesterday, and the first half of it was good. Ted says the second half was good too, but Young Indiana didn’t make it all the way through, so neither did I. :) I did see (all of) Belle this weekend, and it was *wonderful*. Highly, highly recommended. Working my way through Veronica Mars. I’m…
