You’ve got three chances to catch me this week (assuming you’re not one of my students, then you’ve got a few more). Monday night I’ll be at the opening reception for the “Text as Art” exhibit at the Arts Center of the Capital Region. I’ll have a chance to talk about my mixed media piece…

House & Garden
I’m back in the States and it’s the first day of classes — and one of the classes I thought was the second half of the semester is actually the first half (if you have a class numbered 246 and a 247, which would you think would be first?), so much scrambling and whatnot today….
New Release: Unquiet Dreams
“Unquiet Dreams is the long, deep plunge in the coldest quarry in the woods; the lingering look under the rotting wood at all the writhing life there; the stare into the abyss until one realizes something is staring back.” ~ S. R. Bissette, creator of Tyrant, Taboo, Teen Angels & New Mutants and illustrator of…
Keeping Abreast of the Fabulous
All right, even I am having difficulty at times keeping up with all the news, so if I repeat something here, it just means you’re paying attention, well done, here’s a cookie! Soon I have to leave the glories of Alba for the um, gories? of Albany. Alas. Which means I have to figure out…
Kipper Help!
At the eleventh hour, I need to make new plans for Kipper’s care while I am in Ireland. If you can help out, please email me! He’s seven, very timid but very affectionate once he gets to know you. He’s a cuddler and completely an indoor cream puff. I had hoped to save him the…
And Away We Go —
This is how hot it’s been: Kipper lying on his back in front of the fan, feet in the air. Undignified. I hope it’s not like this in England, but the truth is the last couple of years it has been ungodly hot. I am taking one sweater along just in case (Manchester might be…
Utter Madness
What was I thinking? That I could somehow manage to do all the last minute things I need to do before getting on that airplane tomorrow and go down to Kingston for a reading of my play Lumottu? HA HA HA HA HA HA! So, yes, the play reading has been re-scheduled for August 30th….
Euro Punks Exhibit
Wednesday already?! Eek! Madness — this entire week has been, will be, is. Yesterday after the Glass Ceiling talk organized by the Women’s Initiative, I jumped in the car and headed down to Kingston for a reading of a new play at the Arts Society of Kingston. The play was on the life of Margaret…
April Fools Broad Pod
Okay, well not so much April fools as April fun! 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! Go on, give it a listen. Today I’m participating in a talk on “The Glass…
Carnival of the Animals
Image via Sokoblovsky Farms, petitelapgiraffe.com The CSR Camerata concert went very well (not just saying that; read the review :-). I had a lot of fun reading Nash’s poems and listening to my fabulous colleagues play. We all went out to The Point afterward, which is always lovely, too. I am consequently brainstorming more ways…
