1. Mikaela is doing an Old Races: ORIGINS give-away over on her blog! Go check it out! 2. The Disneyland for Deon page has been fixed and now accepts donations again. o.O Remember, I’ll (eventually) be writing a short story as a thank-you for helping Deon get to Disneyland, so if you want access to an exclusive story, go throw a few bucks that way and make a kid’s dream come true while you’re at it. :) 3. I’ve finished Kim Stanley Robinson’s 2312, which in some ways I liked…

Disneyland for Deon: Years ago Ted and I said to our friend Emily, “Get a teaching job and move to Alaska!” What we really meant was “Get a teaching job and move to Anchorage!” except Emily took it more broadly and got a teaching job in Kotlik, which is on the west coast of Alaska and is approximately 500 miles from Anchorage.

*tiny squeaking sounds of glee*
I have a collaborative project with my long-term writing partner, SL Gray/. Sarah and I have written (quite literally: I counted once) millions of words together, and this particular project has been in the works for, heavens forfend, well over a decade now. It was originally conceived as a TV show, back when we were both living in California (and before, even) and had dreams of breaking into that industry. It took us something like a decade to think of presenting it in a different format. Time, tide and ……
