Is it March 1 already? [insert expletive here] Well….time does pass, like it or not. And it’s been a busy time. Let’s see… in January I went to MarsCon and had a great time. In February I went to the Wicked Winter Renaissance Faire with minions and husband in tow and had an amazingly fun time; a post about the Experience That Is Wicked Faire is languishing half-done in my drafts folder as we speak. I might manage to finish it….but might not. We’ll have to see on that.
I’m currently preparing for SheVA Con this coming weekend; Peter Beagle is the Guest of Honor, so you can just imagine how excited I am about attending this one! (For those clueless about that name: very. And go look him up. Seriously.) Then I get to wrap up my intensive writing class over the next three weekends. That class is going extremely well so far, and I’m beginning to think about finding a spot locally to teach as well.
That project will have to wait, though, until the April Madness has passed. I love being over-committed in all directions, and this year I’ve sat myself right in the middle of a ton of work. I’ll be running a series of blog posts about April events, so I won’t bore you with it here–but rest assured there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up with me and get that book signed or ask me writing questions next month!
This blog is also going to be seeing more and more guest blog posts as time goes on: Steven Savage, of course, is contributing twice a month, on the fifth and the twentieth. I have a followup interview with Tina Morris coming out this month as well, and I’m working on scheduling a guest blog post with authors Becky Mushko and Michael Sullivan. So there’s going to be a lot of content coming out over the next few weeks!
Elsewhere in the webbysphere, I have a review of a rare acoustic performance of local favorites Coyote Run aimed to come out through Green Man Review, along with interviews with the various band members. Look for that to post over at GMR sometime before the end of March! (editing update: the post has just aired, in August 2011, due to unexpected delays along the way. On the other hand, it’s a triple-howl: two reviews and an interview. So that was worth waiting for!)
I’ve taken on the job of posting a monthly update for Mercury Retrograde Press authors; the first one should be posting today, so wander over and check out that blog if you have a moment. We are an impressive bunch of overachievers, if I do say so myself….
And finally, I’m hoping to get another bizarre short story into a dark, bird-themed anthology–this will be my first (mature) attempt at writing a spooky story. Hopefully it will … err … fly. (Couldn’t resist, sorry).
Aaaaand….. that’s it for updates this month! Thanks for reading, as always; and remember to keep smiling–just for the hell of it!
