Our topic this week among the Seven of us SFF types is The Established Character We’d Love to Write. I’m picking Phédre nó Delaunay of Jacqueline Carey’s absolutely brilliant Kushiel series. Come on over to find out why.

Every time I hear the term “networking” I get a particular image in my mind. Not a good one.
Thus, the short and surface answer to this week’s topic at the SFF Seven, “The Net Worth of Networking,” is that it’s a big fat zero to me. No – less than that! Negative values there.
But come on by to find out how wrong that image was.

I’m over at the SFF Seven, talking about writing long versus writing short – and of unexpected changes in plans.

If you’re in the New York City area, I’ll be reading at Lady Jane’s Salon on Monday, August 1. Would love to see you there!
Today I’m over at Suzanne Johnson’s blog, kibbitzing with her on the uncertainty, scariness and utter thrill of writing full time. Already a good conversation going, if you’d like to chime in with making your own dream come true – and there’s a gift card, just saying.

In honor of this week’s topic – a writing routine we used to depend on but changed and why – I dragged out this old photo of me at my very first book signing. That’s January of 2004, when my essay collection, WYOMING TRUCKS, TRUE LOVE AND THE WEATHER CHANNEL, came out. I look so fresh-faced and excited. You can practically see the visions of sugarplums and lucrative multi-book contracts dancing in my head.

At any rate, I’m over at the SFF Seven, talking about my old writing rituals, which ones have gone by the wayside, and why.

I’m over at Jill Archer’s blog today, where we’re having a great conversation on whether Fantasy has become an awards category for anything vaguely “woo woo.” Check out the discussion here!
//I have a new book in a new series out today!
LONEN’S WAR kicks off a new Fantasy Romance series, Sorcerous Moons.
You can read a bit about why I wanted to write this series (and self-publish it) here. And about why I set it where I did here.
