We’re back! Actually, we got back yesterday morning, but we spent a few hours in Dublin, then trained home, and I spent most of the evening answering interview questions for a guest blog where I’ll be featured in April, so I didn’t get to posting. Monday we went into NYC and went to the Donald Maass Literary Agency to sign contracts and meet people, which was plenty good fun. Very nice offices, LOTS of books (I love going into business offices of book-related people; it’s like walking into a very,…
o so tired
It has been an extremely good weekend. We are extremely tired. *laugh* I met Jim Frenkel from Tor Books, who came in on the conversation we were having when I was talking about URBAN SHAMAN having sold out (he said, “Do you know what that means?” I said, “That I’m brilliant?”, which was so completely not what he expected there was a very long and funny pause while he tried to figure out how to respond *laugh*), and after a while of hearing about the sales I’d made to publishers,…

I will never check luggage again, if I can avoid it. We zoomed through customs and didn’t have to wait…
mostly thinks

Crisis on Infinite Kits
Tomorrow I’ll start posting new pictures at kitsnaps, but it’s too late tonight. However, this one picture is too odd to not post about in the blog. I took it during the parade and at the time noticed something that I immediately forgot. When I started going through pictures tonight, I found the picture again and said to Ted, “Come here and tell me if you see in this picture what I see in it.” Here’s the picture: Ted came over, looked at it, and said, “That’s you.” I have…
