    in bed, typing on the iPad. it’s morning and I ought to get up but I don’t want to. The workshop went well, nobody cried. People did occasionally hug the pink dino we brought. We met Rachel Caine, who is so awesome, and Michael Bishop, who was equally awesome. We have some panels today and…

    Robert Parker was one of our favorite authors – both Gordon and I really liked his work. ‘All Our Yesterdays’ was unquestionably the best work I have ever done. And the reading public stayed away in droves. Robert B. Parker I have a feeling we’ll be saying that about BAYOU MOON College had little effect…

    Oy. O_O This is why I don’t usually do workshops.  We mostly end up critiquing other writers, who don’t want the cushioning of the critique, they just want the meat and potatoes of the problem.  I’m afraid we might make people cry. I think we might have to do the card thing, to where we…

    We received several emails asking when the move to hardcover will happen, and I can tell you honestly that I don’t know.  But I don’t think it will be any time soon.  A move to hardcover usually happens because of great sales or because the content of the book might be better suited to the…

    A hundred and fifty plus responses on the pretty boy vampire thing.  ::Shakes head::  I had no idea so many people were starved of fiction where the pretty girl tells the gorgeous vampire to beat it. I am still so tired.  Brain is working and producing ideas and scenes, but the actual sitting down and…

    V. writes Will you ever write a traditional pretty boy vampire? Traditional as in Bram Stoker traditional, or Anne Rice traditional, or Stephanie Meyer traditional? Ehhh…. Fine, this once just for you.  Since there is a boy in there, I suppose I have to go with a YA theme. A faint flutter brushed against the…

    For a whole week I did nothing.  I played World of Warcraft, went to the movies, overdosed on TV, pandered to my addiction to  Warhammer Books and generally had fun. Tragically, all good things must come to an end and the vacation is over. Anne, the mighty editor, read MAGIC SLAYS and said that while…

    Vacation Is The Life For Me

    Yesterday Gordon and I reached level forty, so we went to Mulgore to get Gordon’s new superior mount. I always liked the Tauren starting zone. It’s lovely. Gordon chose a white epic kodo. Next I had to get my horse, for which I needed to learn the advanced riding skill.   we traveled to the…
