and the rest is rust and stardust
I've already posted about this in a few places, but what the hell, might as well put it here too: So I'm sitting on the couch in my parents' house on Christmas Day evening, watching The West Wing with my brother and sister and dad and surfing around on my laptop, and I see that...

Charlie Jane Anders over at io9 has reviewed Circlet Press's Fantastic Erotica - which includes my SF short "Catch and Release" - and calls it "[possibly] the year’s most dangerous science fiction anthology". Which is awesome. So why do I say the stories in Fantastic Erotica are dangerous? It's not because they feature anything nonconsensual... Continue Reading →
So I've been tagged in the Next Big Thing blog hop that's been going around, by the marvelous Catherine Lundoff - who you should really be paying attention to. I just finished her novel Silver Moon and enjoyed it hugely (menopausal werewolves; you can't imagine what a breath of fresh air that is). So here's me.... Continue Reading →
Back from Philcon. It was, in a word, fabulous. I made fabulous friends. I went to some fabulous panels (including one that was actually awful in a fairly fabulous way). I had fabulous Indian food. I met Catherynne Valente and she was fabulously gracious and remembered the essay I wrote about Silently and Very Fast... Continue Reading →
This is the third of a series of posts that I've been doing to introduce the world of Line and Orbit and the people who inhabit it (if you missed any of the previous stuff, they're all linked here). This time I want to dig in to the characters themselves - our primary cast, at... Continue Reading →
This is the second part of a series of posts I'm doing on the worldbuilding side of Line and Orbit, since the worldbuilding is something that my co-author and I worked especially hard on - though of course, we worked hard on everything. Last time I posted about the different factions featured in the book.... Continue Reading →
This is an awesome week for writerly things. First, Heiresses of Russ 2012 is now on sale and it's awesome. Second, Brit Mandelo has reviewed it over at Tor.com and gives my story a nice little nod: Sunny Moraine’s “The Thick Night” is a complicated attempt at exploring cultural clashes between the offering of aid...

Here's the first of a series of posts introducing the world of Line and Orbit and the people who inhabit it - since I think I've actually talked very little about that. The worldbuilding in this book is one of the things that we're most proud of, and I want to talk it up. First... Continue Reading →
An earlier version of this post appeared on my Dreamwidth So I finished Harbinger yesterday, or at least a draft of it. It clocks in at about 79k words, which is respectable. There's still a lot of work to be done on it, but it feels good to be done. I suppose. It honestly doesn't... Continue Reading →
