I’ve just seen a handful of photos from the shoot that will be producing the cover for EASY PICKINGS, the Joanne Walker/Jane Yellowrock “fan fiction by the authors themselves” crossover story that Faith Hunter and I are writing. It is going to be AWESOME. In other news, the NO DOMINION Kickstarter campaign is less than $200 from $10,000. *seizes heart and wheezes* You guys are *amazing*. *wheezes* o.o This means, of course, less than $200 from a fourth short story for everyone subscribing at $25 or more. So far I…
twofertwo!
Three for three, even, when one adds into account the creative writing class I attended today to talk about Being A Working Writer. There were four of us in total there: me, I.C. Esslemont, the new Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the university, Johnny Payne, and the professor, Gerri Brightwell. The students had a lot of good questions (no “where do you get your ideas?” :)) and we had a terrific time talking about the realities of writing. Later Gerri said they were equal parts thrilled and…

The Fairbanks B&N book signing went very well! Saw a couple people I knew and far more I didn’t, and many of them bought books. :) A lot of people stopped to talk, which almost never happens at a book signing (the fresh homemade chocolate chip cookies may have helped :)), and I think we all had a lot of fun.

yes, yes…
…that was in fact a catastrophic hard drive failure. I brought it in, the lads at Geek City said “Oh dear, that’s not a virus, that error message means your hard drive has just gone bad, might as well buy a new one because it’ll cost as much to fix it to get a new one.” Thank God for Dropbox. o.O Turns out Fairbanks is not a great place to buy a new netbook, though. Which is mildly inconvenient, since I’d been planning to, y’know, work this week. But I’ll…
dissolving day
This day’s plans have been sort of dissolving from the get-go. I checked email (or at lest Twitter) this morning and in the course of doing so experienced a catastrophic hard drive failure on my netboo from which I have not yet been able to recover. This would be vastly more upsetting if I didn’t have a pretty up-to-date Dropbox backup and a reasonable amount of confidence that I haven’t lost anything irreplaceable. Let’s hear it for off-site storage. o.O Now I’m blogging from Ted’s Asus tablet, which I am…
