lydamorehouseFirst of all, just a friendly reminder to mark your calendars. I'm going to be talking (as Tate, I suppose) on KFAI about my new release ROMANCING THE DEAD. Even if you're not local, it's easy to tune-in.
Here's all the information you need:
Thursday, April 24, 2008 from 11:00 pm - noon I'll be on the radio promoting my new release ROMANCING THE DEAD and my upcoming reading at Dreamhaven Books & Comics. I'll be part of the "Write On Radio" show on KFAI with host Steve Mcellistrem. KFAI can be heard at 90.3 Minneapolis/106.7 St. Paul or streaming on-line at http://www.kfai.org/.
Also, if you're planning on attending the Dreamhaven gig, I heard from Elizabeth that there will be advance copies of ROMANCING THE DEAD available for sale. The Dreamhaven thing is: Monday, April 28, 2008 starting at 6:30 pm I will be reading from her newest novel ROMANCING THE DEAD at Dreamhaven Books as part of the Speculations reading series hosted by Eric Heideman. Dreanhaven is located at: 912 West Lake Street, Minneapolis, MN 55408. For more information call 612-823-6161 or check out their web site at http://www.dreamhavenbooks.com/. There is off-street parking available behind the building and the event is free and open to the public.)
In other book news, I have an interview tonight with a reporter from the Minnesota Women's Press, so there will probably be something appearing about Tate/me there in the next few... days? Weeks? (I can't remember, but I think the Women's Press might be monthly.)
I wrote a whopping 3,000 words last night. That's a lot for me, but I needed to do it, because I'm behind again. The thing that often amazes me is how quickly my brain gets conditioned to writing fast. I looked up after an hour of writing and realized I'd already written over 1,000 words. Crazy.
Also, from today until Tate's book comes out on May 6th, I or Tate will be blogging every Tuesday over at SF Novelists. Today, I continued the discussion about why fantasy outsells science fiction: Darkness Defined (SF vs. Fantasy Redux).
Three other notes of interest: the CO2 maker in my fish tank is working and it's cool. The bubble counter feature is particularly fun to watch.
Second, my car radio problem has fixed itself. Electricity is magic. That's all there is to it.
Third, I may not be attending WisCON this year, after all. There are several factors in this decision. First, Tate's deadline is June 1 and I'm really struggling to get this book done. Second, Mason's VERY BEST FRIEND's birthday party is going to be held that Saturday. At first Mason seemed okay with the idea of missing it (he really, really loves playing yellow ball with his grandfolks,) but looking at the invitation over and over has changed his mind. The third is... my panels this year aren't hardly worth the gas money to drive down. Combine that with the fact that Wyrdsmith isn't having a party this year and the fact that my only reading slot is with the broads of BroadUniverse (a great venue, mind you, but no more than 5 minutes at the most.)
We haven't made up our minds, but I suspect we're going to skip it this year.
