One day, I will shut up about MAPLECROFT

But today is not that day. In my defense, this is the big Release Week - so it's kind of expected. And I'm super excited about it anyway, so please forgive me while I continue nattering onward.

[Aside: Because people have been asking about DragonCon...suffice it to say, I had a most excellent time. I tweeted. I took pictures. You can catch up on the highlights right over here . But it's just as well that I don't attempt a proper recap; I would undoubtedly leave someone/something awesome out, and then feel terrible about it.]

THEREFORE. Let me offer up the most relevant bits, in order to bring everyone up to speed.

FIRST. I've spent the afternoon doing a reddit AMA - and it's still going. I'll take off to walk the dog and get some supper here in a bit, but later on this evening, I'll pop back in and answer a few more questions. So if you've got some burning query, then fire away! I'll try to get to it tonight.

SECOND. If you're curious about Maplecroft origins, and a bit of the true story behind it ... then get yourself over to Scalzi's place where I'm up for the Big Idea. There, I talk a little about the facts of the case - and how I found the project's center.

THIRD. Kirkus Reviews - a place where I am not, traditionally, very well received - has named Maplecroft one of its Top Picks for Speculative Fiction Reads in September!

And FOURTH...there is no fourth. Not yet. I'm going to start collecting reviews and rounding up links, sooner rather than later - but I need to go walk Greyson and freshen up for a meal with friends, so I'm going to cut this a little short. TOMORROW, THEN. I bet.
