Bubble & Squeek
September 27, 2024

How is it almost October? So much is happening in the background. I’m not overwhelmed by what’s on my plate, but I am a bit whelmed. Travel, novel writing, anthology editing, magazine managing, SFWA President running, and more…. It’s a lot. So, here’s a Bubble and Squeek to entertain you.

Spotlight Media Tie-in Author for Written in the Northwest Bookfair — Spotlight Media Tie-in Author

Bookfair Spotlight: I’ve been announced as one of the spotlight authors for the new Written in the Northwest Bookfair along with Seanan McGuire and Krampus!

Cover Reveal and buy links: Shadowrun: Magic, Machines, and Mayhem.

My 24th anthology, co-edited with John Helfers. I am so pleased with this anthology.

eBay: We are decluttering again! The Husband is selling stuff on eBay. Here’s his sell page. There’s some good stuff there, but we just don’t need any of it.

Interview: This one is with Gerald Ford from The Corner of Story and Game podcast. YouTube Link and Spotify link.

Interview: Cat Rambo and I were interviewed by D.M. Needom on The Better To Podcast. Buzzsprout link and YouTube link. I had so much fun here and the Instagram snippets are hilarious.

Recommendation: Shadowrun: Dark Synergy by Russell Zimmerman. I was the editor on this one and it was very, very satisfying.

Leeloo, a small singapura cat with fawn colored coat, peeks out of a dark brown cat house with a skeptical look on its face. — “I am doubtful…”

Support: As always… if you appreciate my work and would like to support me, I love coffee. I am made of caffeine. This is the quickest way to brighten my day.

I didn’t want to have to buy a new car, but mine got totaled at the end of February. I’m still reeling from sticker shock, but I do like my new car. It’s a Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid in sage green. I got my all wheel drive hatchback. The Husband got his hybrid. We’re both happy. We think he’s told us his name but we’ve got to drive it a bit more...

Blogging While Noveling

Blogging while writing a novel is boring from the outside. My head is filled with the wonderful and horrible things I’ve done, am doing, plan to do to my character. It’s also filled with the myriad of things I need to figure out or research to get the novel done. All I can show for it is “Wrote 1400 words today. Feel good about them.” Or “Got 600 words in today. It was like pulling teeth.” No matter what I’m doing, half my mind is with my novel. My husband and close friends are used to me tangenting in a question that is related to my novel or breaking off to talk about something that’s just happened in the novel or talking about some research I just did and discovered something new that affects the novel.
