Squee, and a free book!
I've just seen that Adam Roberts has included Lightborn on his top ten SF novels of 2010! Yay! He mentions that he hesitated to read it because he thought it would be just another zombie novel.
Aaargghhh! Lightborn was never intended to have anything to do with zombie novels and it is so painful every time I see that sort of thing in a review or reference, partly because it reminds me how bloody slow I was to finish the book. There weren't even any zombie novels about when I started it in 2005 and I've never actually read a zombie novel, story nor even watched a zombie movie (maybe when I was 8?). It took me so many years to write (and then to publish) the book that I ended up sticking in some zombie references in a jokey way because the phenomeon came on like a wave during the writing process, and it was too late by then to turn back. But honestly, if I'd known the whole zombie phenomenon was going to happen I'd have set it in the distant future, as the idea first began.
Sorry about that, just a wee tiny vent of my frustrations. Anyway, I'm so pleased that Adam liked the book. The other thing I wanted to say is that Adam's post reminded me that I've had a copy of C by Tom McCarthy for several months and you know what? I bought it because it looked really cool, and Adam's review confirms that it probably is. But I'm not going to read it, not with my schedule being as it is. Does anybody on my UK f-list want it? First come first served--it's a lovely hardcover, just gorgeous actually. But I have to be realistic about how my time is going to be spent.

almost a groundhog, never a goat
In the spirit of popping up prematurely and being spooked by my own shadow, I thought I'd come on and give a little rundown of some of my recent stuff what's going on, hereabouts.
1) I had some sort of flu, followed almost instantly by what they locally call a 'bad chest'. This involves gunk, lethargy, and not being able to go running. It's stuck to me for a good couple of weeks and reminds me how I usually take rude good health for granted.
2) I'm taking some coursework with the OU. I don't plan to blog about it, but it is taking up a fair chunk of my time. This is all stuff related to getting a day job at some point in the future, because my American teaching qualifications don't fully translate in the UK.
3) Studying is easier than writing. Studying is easier than writing. Studying is easier than writing. Etc. This brings me huge joy.
4) Re: huge joy. Not a moment too soon, for it has been a dark winter in my head.
5) Momentarily I will be repotting a ficus that I've nearly killed. I hope it makes it. I hate the idea of killing a plant just because I couldn't be arsed to repot it.
6) I'm two weeks ahead in aforementioned study schedule, so I'll be writing for a couple of weeks and trying to finish H, which I thought I was going to finish in October (before the Dark Winter of My Head kicked in)
7) I just got a response to my letters to Borders complaining about lack of POC representation in their YA fiction section. I need to say more about that soon.
How is everyone? There has been a distinct gleam of sun here in the Hope Valley today. I love the winter sun in Britain. It's such an odds-fighter of a sun.

The Iron Witch is in UK shops!
I staggered out to Waterstone's in Shrewsbury to get my copy of Karen Mahoney's YA debut
The Iron Witch
, aka 'The Little Book That Could.' I wanted to take a photo of it in its natural habitat, but forgot my camera (still flu-addled--that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it*). Turns out I didn't need the camera because the book was not on the shelves (yet), having only just arrived.
Waterstone's are including The Iron Witch in a 3 for 2 promotion instore, and their edition has gold edges to the pages. It's a lovely package, just beautifully produced. I was so excited that I chattered away at the shop assistant about![[info]](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1380442897i/1319734.gif)
kaz_mahoney
and how completely amazing she is and how spectacularly well the book has done already, selling in translation to several countries and attracting a lot of attention. I babbled effusively, as if I had something to do with it--and it was a huge rush seeing my dear friend's first novel in the shops.** I have a feeling this book is going to be a major triumph, all down to a) the quality of the book itself and b) the quality of Kaz Herself, who fully deserves every success she gets. And yes, she has a good professional team. But mostly? Kaz, Kaz, Kaz.
I got home and had to fight with the two littlest kids (off school sick) for the book. Even though he can't read, Sean wanted to be Seen with It:
And Rhiannon, still in her PJs, took it off and read the odd phrase here and there:
Kaz's debut novel is also going to be sold in Tesco's. Tesco's, where they only ever have the mega-bestsellers! I'm going to be going to my local Tesco's to see this with my own eyes!
* (Er...thanks, everyone, for the lovely comments to my last post, which I will be answering later today. I'm slowly getting back up to speed.)
** Usually I adopt a skulking behaviour in bookshops. Maybe it's a midlist author thing. Everything changes when it's your friend's book!

I don't beleeeeeeve it
Together with Zoo City, The Dervish House, The Restoration Game, and The Wind-Up Girl, the book I whined about for years is on the BSFA shortlist for Best Novel! Go, Lightborn!
I can't really say anything that doesn't make me sound like a giant ditz on rollerskates. I'm very, very happy about it. Glowing, I think, but hopefully without that icky radioactive fluorescence like a villain from Scooby Doo.
There are a great many books on the longlist that strike me as more likely candidates for the shortlist, which doubles the honour. Congratulations to all the nominees (
ianmcdonald
is the only person I know from LJ off the top of my head). I'd also like to offer heartfelt thanks to everyone who read Lightborn and included it on their list. And I must thank Mic Cheetham and Darren Nash specifically, without whom the book would have been neither written nor published.
And thank you, my dear LJ friends, for holding me together in the dodgy times.
I am even going to Eastercon this year, although I hadn't worked out the whole 'should I bring the kids or just commute to Birmingham?' question yet. Bags of time to figure that out.
(I'm still a bit flu-wrecked and have kids home sick so if I'm slow responding to comments/e-mail, forgive me! Thanks to everyone who has dropped me a line!!! I'll write back soon.)

The African-American Read-in and YA
Martin Luther King Day seems like a good time to break my...um...long radio silence to point your attention to this, pasted from Reading in Color:
Doret of theHappyNappyBookseller had the brillant idea that we book bloggers should do something in honor of the African-American Read-In. What is the African American Read In you ask? Well I had no idea either until Doret shared a link with me.
From the NCTE website
"Schools, churches, libraries, bookstores, community and professional organizations, and interested citizens are urged to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month by hosting and coordinating Read-Ins in their communities. Hosting a Read-In can be as simple as bringing together friends to share a book, or as elaborate as arranging public readings and media presentations that feature professional African American writers."
Ari, Doret and Edi are asking readers to vote for one of six YA books to be read and discussed in February, and then to participate in said reading/discussion.
The books are:
Tyrell, by Coe Booth
Bleeding Violet, by Dia Reeves
Jumped, by Rita Williams Garcia
Yummy, by G. Neri
A Wish After Midnight, by Zetta Elliott
When the Black Girl Sings, by Bill Wright
Personally I've read the Booth, Reeves, and Elliott titles and they are all excellent--Tyrell is unforgettable. I'm looking forward to reading the others on the list, but I voted for A Wish After Midnight because Zetta Elliott's book is self-published and I want to see the author's work get the attention it deserves. For SF/F enthusiasts, Bleeding Violet and A Wish After Midnight are both on the mark. It is nice to see a good proportion of genre work included on a YA list, too--and no vampires in sight although the Reeves is rife with monsters and imaginative mayhem :-)
To find out more and/or participate, please to clicky.
And even if you don't have a taste for YA, here's an opportunity to check out and maybe even share with others the works of Nalo Hopkinson (last I checked Canada was still America and anyway, her stuff is awesome), Nisi Shawl, Tananarive Due, Steven Barnes, Samuel Delany and the late, great Octavia E. Butler. (I am sure there are a fair few others that I'm forgetting due to a flu-addled brain). Or for that matter, if you needed an excuse to read recently published and highly acclaimed titles Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor or The Broken Kingdoms by NK Jemisin, here it is.
{Also...I have not actually dropped off the face of the earth. I'm just creating a convincing facsimile. I went through a bit of a...patch...during the dark months, and I'm trying to keep the internet at arm's length for now for the sake of my mental health. I do lurk and very occasionally swoop in for the odd comment, but psychologically I am shaky & so, not posting. Hi, though, btw :) }

mooo
One of my kids has a tendency to run REALLY high fevers when he's sick, so the last few days we've been skating around the 104F mark and dealing with night coughs that kept everyone up most of the night three nights running. I am VERY tired.
We've also had a bit of snow--only a dusting compared to folk like
desperance
, but enough to keep my car from getting up the track to the house, so I've parked it down by the main road. Steve went down to start it for me today and found religious literature stuck under the windscreen wiper. Hmm. I'm gonna....not take that personally.
Our landlord has gone off on holiday for a week and asked Steve to water his cows while he's gone. There are only a handful of cows, but the tap in the barn is frozen solid so we've got this big grain bin in their enclosure and we have to pour buckets over the wall of our porch down into this thing. Landlord said 'oh, about four buckets should do it.' Yeah? He's been away one day and so far they've drunk 36 buckets, all hauled by me because I refused to participate in Steve's cunning plan to fill the buckets in the bathtub and pass them out through the bedroom window. I have a feeling I'm going to get emotionally involved with these cows. I'm already calling them 'girls' and making kissy noises at them.
We're expecting proper snow here tomorrow. I have the kids home sick anyway so I'm kind of looking forward to it. Got lots of stuff for baking. Got a latch for office door. Should be fun. Yeah, that's it: I'm calling it fun so it will be.
Stay toasty, everyone :-)

still here (ish)
So, I went offline ages ago and have been regulating my internet usage pretty strictly, but I never expected it to go on this long. I had a really long period of thrashing through different story options for H and not being able to decide which path to take. Which was mentally and physically exhausting--I pumped up on a lot of caffeine, stopped training, and have lived on chocolate for too long (even by my standards). There has been far too much weeping and thrashing lately.
Pushing and pushing and pushing like that did result in progress, but (surprise!) I'm still not finished and the rest of life continues to rush in and demand attention. Sooooo....I'm a little grumpy about being neither here nor there, and I'm short on endorphins--which is my own fault. But I'm making the effort to find balance, even if it means lowering the bar (even more).
I have one sick child at home who is really miserable--Steve and I were up half the night with him--and the others due to drop like flies if the Laws of Kids are anything to go by. This is...oddly focusing. I know how to deal with this! Time to get in the trenches.
In other news, I have started an OU maths course for people who haven't done maths since they were 15 and were never very good at it even then. (None of that's in the actual course description, but that's what I'm doing with it.) It's not easy...but I'm loving it. I think it has something to do with being able to know for sure, right then and there, if what you're doing is working or not. That makes for a refreshing escape from Real Life.
Another happy tidbit: I have review quotes to put on the Lightborn page of my site! At this rate I'll probably get around to that next year sometime :-)
'Compelling, imaginative, and often discomfiting' -- SFX - 4 stars (Nic Clarke)
and
'This is gripping, thought-provoking speculation, populated with gritty, believable charactes and a storyline that moves in surprising directions' -- The Times (Lisa Tuttle)
Don't think I've had a review from the Times in over ten years! Now all I need is a US publisher...well, you never know. A miracle may occur.

Octavia E. Butler Memorial Scholarship E-Reader Drawing!!!
I'm in a state of nervous exhaustion because I haven't been able to reconcile a key story element in H, which I am now rewriting for the third time--aaaaaaauuuuuggghhhhhhh! I'm working like such a little beaver and expected to be done weeks ago, but no. I've been staying off the internet as much as possible because who wants to listen to a grown woman droning on about her inefficacy? I don't even want to listen to myself.
But! Since I'm not done yet and time is running out for the subject of this post, I thought I'd better pop on and give a signal boost:
