Christ. So ADD, I lost the Adderall scrip my doc gave me. Arrrgh! #
In other news, I got a poppy from a VFW table today. But I don't have a buttonhole. Is it disrespectful to wear it behind my ear? #

Transcontinental ARC Tour kicks off today!

One ARC. 90 days, 20 readers. How many stops can it make?

When I was at World Fantasy last year, I noticed that the ARC for N.K. Jemisin's book THE HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS was really making the rounds. It started off with Naamen Tilahun, who passed it to Mike Swirsky, who passed it on to Rachel [...:]

My Wiscon Schedule! (OK not really.)

No, I'm not going to be at Wiscon this year. Basically I'm not doing any cons until my book comes out. All my pennies are being scrupulously hoarded away for my book launch party at WFC in October (I mean, I know you people. You're going to demand the good snacks and booze. I can't [...:]

Bluehost, you're making me wish I was still with GoDaddy. Lots of downtime, slow loading, repeated server hiccups. Shame on you. Shame. #

Happy Cupcakeathon Day!

Today is the day Lisa Mantchev has dubbed the Great Day of Cupcakerie, in honor of the launch of "Perchance to Dream" which is Book 2 in her lovely and critically-acclaimed "Theater Illuminata" series (I'm not even going to *try* to do the umlauts and accent graves and whatever typographical hoo-ha is supposed to go [...:]
