To wit: Print: Racing the Dark, by Alaya Dawn Johnson. Fantasy. Bridge of Birds, by Barry Hughart. Fantasy. Liar, by Justine Larbalestier. YA. Ebooks: The…

If anyone will be at Norwescon…
… and if you might happen to see me, please feel free to say hi. I won’t be doing anything formal-like related to the convention, I’m just attending like everybody else, but I’m in the mood to maybe see and talk to new faces. I’ll be seeing if I can show up at any e-pub…

More small pointer advancement
It’s been a while since I posted about this, but some of y’all may remember that in addition to Bone Walker and Mirror’s Gate, I have several other barely started works in progress. One of them is currently tentatively titled Shards of Recollection; this is the SF-flavored novel that’ll be starring heavily adapted versions of…

Wrote tonight, more or less
Pried a couple hundred more words out of my brain tonight, some for Bone Walker and some for Mirror’s Gate, mostly for the sake of advancing the pointers on at least a couple of stories.

Fine food, fine conversation, and fine music
very kindly offered , , and me free tickets to last night’s Seattle Symphony and Chorale performance at Benaroya, and we were delighted to take her up on that. We hadn’t hung out with Kathryn and for a while in general, for one thing. For another, we agreed to meet for dinner at Wild Ginger…

Justine Larbalestier and Alaya Johnson’s books
What I wound up spending my Barnes and Noble coupon on last night was a hardback copy of Justine Larbalestier‘s Liar. I’d seen a lot of traffic about this book on the publishing blogs a while back, pretty much because her publisher had initially opted to put a white face on the cover–and her protagonist,…
