A bit nerve-wracking to gear up for Walter Jon Williams’ retreat in New Mexico–but what an opportunity! To get crits from people like Paolo Baccigalupi, Daniel Abraham, Carrie Vaughn and Diana Rowland! Let alone, everyone else–Nebula and Hugo nominees/winners, people who have published in–or edit for–all the major magazines, Locus book reviewers–
But even scarier is I will be critting them!
The cover art for Immunity to Strange Tales, my collection coming out from Five Rivers Chapmanry Press in August is done. I love it!
Now, this is cool. I was invited by editor Naomi Lewis to do a book review for Alberta Views Magazine! The book is right up my alley: a YA fantasy. I have to say, I really enjoyed the book, though it had some flaws. This made it easy to give a balanced view, because there was lots I really loved about it, but some things to critique as well.
Woot! I sold “Digging Deeper” to Hayden’s anthology through Bundoran Press, Blood and Water! My first sale of the year!
So, now I have galleys for Immunity to Strange Tales! I’ve seen the introduction by Mark Leslie, the cover art, the font–it’s getting really exciting! The launch is in August at When Words Collide.
