  • Back

    I’m back from Florida, which was wonderful. It was both weird and wonderful to be applauded and go up on a stage and give a little acceptance speech for an award for my writing, and I’m still tingly from the whole feeling. This week, however, has been very busy for me, and I had to…

  • Wow (now with links)

    It has been brought to my attention that my novelette “The Language of Moths” has been honored with a Spectrum Award (in a three-way tie) in the category of short fiction. I’m surprised that people are still reading that story, but also really happy. At some point in the near-ish future, “The Language of Moths”…

  • Hurray for Midwestern Awesomeness

    After a day of braving the twelve degree cold today, with a running inner monologue about the ridiculous starkness and severity of the Midwestern winter accompanying me throughout my travels about town, I came home to find an e-mail from my editor telling me that One for Sorrow has been nominated for the 2008 Great…

  • The Crawford Award

    I just found out yesterday (and see the news was just released) that this year’s Crawford Award is being given to One for Sorrow. The award, according to the press release, is sponsored by the International Association for the Fantastic in the Arts, recognizes an outstanding first book of fantasy published during the preceding year,…

  • Revision

    Thanks to the very sweet Vonday McIntyre and Diane Turnshek, the mini-essay I wrote for the Nebulas on “The Language of Moths” has been replaced with the final version I’d settled on after revision help from Jackie M, who has the most incredible pink hair (saw her at Wiscon this weekend and had a good chat by the elevators about…

  • Of Nebulas and New York City

    Just a quick post before I go back to my busy-busy mode.  The Nebulas were an interesting experience, especially as I went not having entertained winning as a possibility for even a moment, and so this provided me with more of an anthropological view of the event.  The hotel was snazzy and expensive, the drinks…

  • Photos of my week that I didn’t take

    Yes, that’s an advanced reader’s copy of One for Sorrow in front of me. Me and Rick at the Nebulas.

  • On my way out

    I’m getting ready to head off to NYC for the Nebula Awards ceremony this weekend.  I’m not nervous.  I’m just excited to have been nominated.  That’s a real honor in and of itself. So this will be my last post for a while, unless I get a chance over the next week while I’m in…
