It’s been fun watching from a distance Mary’s reaction to the Campbell award sinking in. My official 24 hours of jealousy is officially over and I’m taking a little break from working on my novel to post. The kids start school tomorrow and I, of course, go back to work…. Continue reading
Today, I get to be officially jealous. One of my classmates at Orson Scott Card’s Literary Boot Camp in 2005 got some good news this evening. Mary Robinette Kowal, who I noted just yesterday as being a non-male SF writer to check out, earned a huge trophy for her shelf… Continue reading
One of the panels that I will be participating in during Coppercon 28 is on Minorities in science fiction. It’s a subject I find interesting in both my astonishment that the average SF reader is a white male, and the dearth of writers who aren’t. It’s a self-fulfilling prophesy in… Continue reading
This evening, we attended the middle school orientation for my daughters. Reanna is going to have most of the same teachers as Audrey did last year. School is coming.

One of my flash fiction stories is appearing in the July 2008 issue of The Written Word. Check out I Can Fly. This story was prompted by a photograph of a little girl sitting on a bicycle on top of a roller coaster. It was a bizarre photograph that prompted… Continue reading
The “new” dsl connection with the desktop computer still rolls on. I left the computer on overnight, something that would have spelled death for the ethernet connection. The wireless connection worked like a charm. It even downloaded the update for my virus software. I have no idea why the ethernet… Continue reading
