An English Professor in New York
Yeah, got that song in your head now? (or this one?) Good. I headed down to the city — and when you live in this state, there’s no confusion about what you mean when you say that. New York City casts a bit of a shadow over the rest of the state. Oh, believe me…
Last Minute Gift Ideas
I’m going to assume if you’re reading this blog you’ve probably already sampled my writing, though if you’re of a mind to try something new, far be it from to dissuade you to follow Cthulhu’s recommendation and get yourself a copy of Weird Noir! Paperback or ebook available — and you know, all those other…
My Gypsy Ways: Berne
I often joke that I’m heading to Brigadoon when I go off to Berne. It’s true that there are days when the fog closes in as I head up into the hills and it genuinely feels like stepping into the mystic. So I was glad to be able to spend Halloween with my dear friend…

Humo(u)r
A hasty post as I’m still entertaining my delightful guests, who seem to be having a good time. I know I am, though I’m also aware of my shortcomings as a hostess. I’m used to living on my own, never paying attention to clocks (except once a week 🙂 and not planning ahead. But there’s…
News, a Wish and BitchBuzz
Criminy: it’s December! How the time has flown by this semester, even though I haven’t been in class. My sympathies to my colleagues knee-deep in exams and grading. I know how it feels — and couldn’t be happier that I am not. Sorry! But it’s true. NEWS: It’s a Curse: Drunk on the Moon, Book…

The April Broad Pod is up — that’s the podcast from Broad Universe, the organization that supports women in speculative fiction and has a wealth of fabulous people including me!

Entertainments
I’m the guest today over at Amber Polo’s WordShaping blog, talking about why I write in the fantasy genre. Drop by and leave a comment! Amber is a fellow Broad. I always find it interesting the things I figure out when interviewed. A lot of things never get articulated until somebody asks you a few…
Mystery at Pi-Con
I made a quick jaunt to Pi-Con yesterday to join in a Broad Universe Rapid-fire Reading. The reading went well, but there weren’t too many sales at the book party after despite the chili (thanks, Aradia!) and the trifle (Kaynak, did you make that?). Nonetheless it was fun to see folks again and the reading…
