Well, we did it. By we of course, I mean my wonderfully talented Web designers, and not me personally, but hey, ‘We’ works better. What did we do? We changed some things up around here – a little paint, a little polish, a great big engine with “Wordpress” stenciled on the side. All that kind of stuff. What’s it mean? Hopefully, it means more frequent updates from yours truly, since now I can input them directly. It also means I might finally get around to changing out my essay, but let’s not talk crazy just yet. After all, it’s February!
February means one thing in 2010 – Impulse Power, the trio of Romantic SF novellas from Samhain Publishing, finally comes out. That includes my own Hearts and Minds, which will be out in pretty much every electronic format on the 23rd.
On the topic of Impulse Power, those of you not with the SF Revolution who plan on waiting for a dead tree edition have a long wait – December, in fact. But, if you wait that long, you’ll find Impulse Power everywhere, with this snazzy new cover:
I’ve also received a bit of good news. My essay on the Music of Steampunk – Doctor Tsoundpounders Euterpean Soliloquizer – will be appearing in the March issue of Crossed Genres magazine. It’s a fun little piece in which I poke a few sacred cows, and I think it will be well received. Or there’ll be a mob outside the door. We’ll see.
Keeping up with Appearances:
The year is starting with a bang, or at least a couple of electronic appearances – on 16 Feb, you’ll be able to find me answering questions about Hearts and Minds in the Love Romances café , from 7 to 9pm. Stop by, ask questions, and have some fun.
I’ll also be a guest blogger on Samhain’s Author site, the Samhellion, on February 23rd. Not sure what clever and witty thing I’ll say yet, but I trust inspiration will strike before then.
As for the rest of the year – It’s a safe bet that in August, interested folks will be able to find me once again at GenCon. April will see me in Indianapolis for Mo*Con and the release party for Apex’s Dark Faith (Featuring my story “A Loss for Words”). And it’s looking increasingly likely that I will show up at either RWA’s national conference, or World Fantasy, or both. Watch this space for detail, there’s sure to be some soon.
