Updates

So, now that the novel is gone, I was able to catch up on some emails, house cleaning, gardening–all the thinks I’ve been neglecting. And, I sent in a grant application for my research trip in the fall. Catching up!

Got my revisions done on time and the book submitted to Laksa Media Groups. Yay! Book 2 is on its way to the next step!

There are lots of opportunities for writers, but you have to fill out the paperwork.  Updated my Access Copyright info this week. Let’s see if that translates into income next November!

Met with my publisher yesterday, and things are going well. I hand the book in, in two weeks (no sweat) and have to do a bit of work on blurb and website content; he is checking on the cover and website, which should be up by September, at which time we announce the first book. We have tentative launch months for the first three books. Yay!

Got to see all kinds of good friends this weekend at the Nebula Awards Conference, and met some new people as well. Arly Sorg was so kind to introduce me to some cool folks: he has an incredible memory and said some nice things (about everyone!) in his introductions. SFWA is doing amazing work, and the Board is super-organized and active. Touched base with Mary Robinette Kowal, who met Heather at the workshop they both attended this spring. Lots of great panels.
