The ink is drying on the deal memo, so I have a green light to announce that there will be three more Walker Papers! The next Walker Papers novel will be out in 2009, with the following books in 2010 and 2011 (buh). In the *meantime*, the following books will be out (titles subject to change): COYOTE DREAMS (Walker Papers #3, May 2007) HEART OF STONE (Book One of the Negotiator Trilogy (?), November 2007) HOUSE OF CARDS (Book Two of the above, March 2008) THE QUEEN’S BASTARD (Book One…
Fairbanks Vs. Moscow: Fight!
So I was just checking out the photos on today’s , and the first photo that came up said, “The view from my university window around 3pm.” I said to Ted, “Why, look!” and he looked over and said, “Fairbanks?”, because by God, it looks exactly like UAF, and I’d been about to say, “Fairbanks!” to finish my, “Why, look!” Only then I noticed the subject line, and the photo was taken in Moscow. That is *so weird*. I defy any of my UAF friends to deny that it is…
mad dash for the finish line
has a draft she wants to finish by month’s end. I want to finish the HANDS OF CHANGE draft before PCon.

Ted and I just came back from watching “Music & Lyrics”, the new Hugh Grant/Drew Barrymore movie.

Hugh Grant as one of the two front members of…
more shopping o.O
We went forth today and bought a car, more or less. It had no spare tire, the passenger side window didn’t roll down, and although it was advertised as having a radio, it didn’t. We told them to fix those things and fill the tank and we’d buy it. The guy hedged about filling the tank (€20 worth, he said, but I’ll insist he agreed to fill it), but otherwise they were willing to do those things, and so sometime early next week we’ll have a car. Then maybe we’ll…
