Interview, updatery, miscellanous and sundry….

So!

Item #1: Exciting thing! The stags are out and about! I passed two HUGE ones driving the DH to work this morning, and had to share, because they’re just so beautiful (if a bit stinky, as it’s rutting season). But no camera! So, guess who will be packing her camera around the next while?

Item #2: The middle grade project is finished (for now) and I’m back into my middle eastern-inspired project, which I am loving. However, that does mean updates are going to be a little scarce for a while, cuz a writer’s gotta make hay when the sun (words) are shining.

But, as a teaser, I found this image while cruising the webs this week, and it really fits with how I see Marazi, the main character in the middle-eastern project.

(The image comes from the Women Fighters in Reasonable Armor blog, which I love.)

Item #3: The interview I did with Imogen Howson of the The Lucky Thirteens (a group of authors with 2013 debut books) is up on the Lucky Thirteen blog today. Read it here! And, while there, might I suggest checking out all the fantastic books that are coming out next year? Because, wow, they sound great!

(Also, thanks, Lucky Thirteens, for having me on the blog today!)

Item #4: Despite the scarcity of updates mentioned in Item #2, I haven’t forgotten that I promised to write posts about Dzoonokwa, Sisiutl, and being Metis. The “being Metis” one is written and simmering, so that’ll be going up first (something I’ve meant to do for ages. Where does time go these days?). But, I’m super excited about the post about Dzoonokwa, because, look!

Item #5: The other thing I’ll be doing in the next while is getting this website updated. It’s been woefully neglected for a while now, but, Coming Soon to a Website Near You: a new resource section, info about class visits, and some other bibs and bobs that I’ve cooked up.

So, stay tuned, and happy Friday, everyone!
