There will be not only my books&#8211;Grimaulkin Redeemed is now available and it&#8217;s a really nice contrast to the dark colors of the first two, a great eye-catcher. \u00a0There will also be books by J Dark in her <em>Glass Bottle<\/em>s series, <em>Building Baby Brother<\/em> by Steven Radecki, and <em>Children of the Wrong Time<\/em> by Flavia Ada. \u00a0And dragons. And card readings.<\/p>\n<p>I had an event yesterday and sold one book, which I was happy about. These small fairs, though, are a real crapshoot. Most of the people who come to them are older folk looking for stuff for them or their grandchildren. I happened to get lucky and get a 15 year old who was so excited to read his first &#8220;New Adult&#8221; book that he kept saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to read this!&#8221; He probably started reading it in the car.<\/p>\n<p>After the event, I decided to sit down and start <em>War Mage<\/em> again. I&#8217;m following my own advice and making up stuff based on research. The history is all wrong, there is no Firebase Jackson, there is no Colonel Parlance, but there is a 10th Mountain Division. I just put them there because from what I&#8217;ve read, those guys kick ass. I have the sinking feeling, though, I&#8217;m not going to get 50K words out of it. We&#8217;ll see what happens.<\/p>\n<p>A new podcast is up at Dark Mystic Quill. It&#8217;s about magic and writing. Together.<\/p>\n<p>Fire is on hold until after WorldCon while the publisher gets things ready for that. All I care about is fitting in the bathroom on the plane. If I don&#8217;t, you&#8217;ll see me on youtube and CNN as the idiot lady who got stuck in a JetBlue bathroom. I&#8217;ll be famous! And sell lots of books!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WorldCon 76 is just about a month away, and we plan to have a large presence there.
