Okay, I have to admit – it was last January . . . but it is a cool post, and if you want to read it, go to the official website of Jan Markley. Her YA novel, Dead Frog on the Porch was launched about a year ago, and TODAY is her launch of Dead Bird Through the Cat Door. It will be great – readings, friends, fans and CAKE! Her next book, Three Dead Moths in My Mailbox, is upcoming.
Edge’s Tenth Anniversary party was great!
There were a lot of people there — great to see so many people I knew, and so many who’d made the trek to town from other places. It was held at the Aerospace Museum, a perfect venue for a steampunk party — tons of people were getting their photos taken in front of the old airplanes. The food was marvellous — especially the cake!! (thanks, Matt) which was not only delicious, it was so beautiful it was a crime to cut into it. I’m guessing about 80% of the people were in costume and most of the costumes were REALLY well done. I was amazed at where people had got such authentic-looking steampunk wear. And, I won the costume contest (female) — and got a lovely Edge book as a prize (The Apparition Trail, a steampunk novel by Lisa Smedman). Can hardly wait to start it!
Two more stories in the mail
That gives me a total of 5 out circulating right now, and I hope to do another one this afternoon. Gotta keep ’em out there!
Right Chemistry and Director’s Cut eligible for Nebula
I just posted both stories (The Right Chemistry appeared in OnSPEC in their Summer edition, and The Director’s Cut just came out this November in Tesseracts Fourteen, by Edge Press) on the SFWA site, so if any of you are SFWans, feel free to nominate either of my stories!
Thanks!

I has been an interesting experience. And after 3 days, I’m thinking – there is a lot of reading for a small amount of information. Still, I’m still learning!
