So Very Busy!

Ruffled Feathers!

It’s been a busy time with the release of House of Rough Diamonds (third book in the Over Where series, which started with Library of the Sapphire Wind and Aurora Borealis Bridge) on September 5th, and it’s going to be busier!

I feel rather like the hawk in the photo, feathers going all directions.  The photo was taken from our office window last week before temperatures dropped and a cool bath was apparently very appreciated.

Recently, I’ve done several interviews, including one in print format with Paul Semel.  You can find that one here.  I also did a wild and fun live one with H.P. Holo last Saturday. 

Want to ask questions fact to face?  Next up is P-con where I’m one of the Guests of Honor, along with Charles E. (Chuck) Gannon.  The programming includes a Q&A where questions will be pulled out of a hat, and augmented by questions from the audience.  There will also be a Coffee with the Guests of Honor event on Saturday morning.  Tickets are needed for this event.

Panels include some nice complicated ones on a wide variety writing-related topics, as well as fun ones about things like cats in SF/F and cussing (not together, although I think there might be some justification for that!).  I’m also doing a reading, and probably having a signing session.  The dealer’s room may not have a book vendor, but you’re welcome to bring books you purchased elsewhere.  Even if you don’t have books with you, I can sign a post card for you!

On Sunday, there will be a live tabletop roleplaying game (not a LARP or live action roleplaying).  When I heard that the adventure would be an outdoors one, I decided that I would play Firekeeper, the protagonist from my “Firekeeper Saga,” better known as “the wolf books.”  I am looking forward to channeling her, as well as to sharing a gaming table once again with Chuck.  Jim will also be participating, playing a druid—who is also a cactus nature spirt, with traits of both a barrel cactus and an ocotillo.

There are more local to New Mexico events coming up, but I’ll save them for later Wanderings.

Right now, it’s time for me to for me to marvel at our suddenly cooler temperatures, and turn some of my awakening energy to getting ready and even to writing!
