What's New?

June is a busy month around here. George and I celebrate our anniversary mid-month (our 19th this time around), and a week later, I roll another birthday, my 59th for those of you keeping score at home. I'm considering this particular birthday my Crone Eve.

I'm delighted to report the sale of a story called "Nimue And The Mall Nympths" to Esther Friesner for her new anthology WITCH WAY TO THE MALL, which will be coming from Baen

Con Trails

It was not something I wanted to do, but two conventions have been deleted from the 2008 travel schedule. My husband's new job means me soloing more, and SoonerCon, in Oklahoma City, is one for which the logistics just aren't conducive to that. Also removed from the schedule is FenCon, in Dallas. The hotel's decision to go 100% non-smoking, including guest rooms, makes this one a no-go for me.

On a much brighter note, it gives me great delight to report that the good folks putting on Gaylaxicon 2008 have invited me as a writer guest. This is the 20th such gathering, and will be held this year in the Washington, DC area. I had such a grand time last year that I just couldn't say "no".

Despite a schedule that should have killed me, I survived A-Kon 19, due in large measure to that convention's first-rate guest support system and the good services of George and numerous friends. The writer track was prime, and I had a great time. Still working on the convention report, which I hope to have posted soon.

Next up for me is LazyDragonCon (not to be confused with, nor associated with, DragonCon in Atlanta), a small relaxicon in McKinney, TX. I'm Author Guest of Honor for this one, and will join a truly eclectic mix of GoHs from film, TV, gaming and other sections of the genre for what promised to be a fun-filled weekend. Plans are still being made, but I'm fairly sure, knowing the folks involved, it's going to be a blast.

I Have Succumbed...

...to the lure of LiveJournal. Yes, I have a Journal, which for the time being is running fairly parallel to my SFF.net newsgroup, but with the ability to post the occasional picture. You can find it at
