Tonight I hang with Grammar Girl and more »

Back from WorldCon

mightymur — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 15:25:23 +0000

This would have been a lot easier if I’d blogged every day. Now I have two weeks to recap. Eek.

We arrived in Melbourne, Australia, on Monday, August 30. I now have an irrational fear that someday a cop is going to scream at me “where were you on August 29?” and I’m going to more »

Dragon*Con

mightymur — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 09:40:55 +0000

I know I’m behind on podcasts, but I’ve spent all this week trying to get ready for DragonCon and finish up my edits for Heaven – which I did! The edited manuscript is on its way to my agent, and I’m wrapping up packing for DragonCon. I will edit some audio in the car on more »

Belated WorldCon report.

mightymur — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:08:10 +0000

I got back from Worldcon a week ago, and first thought I’d recover from the con, then I thought I’d formulate an epic post, then I got distracted by the edits back from my agent about the novelization of Heaven, and then suddenly a week’s gone by, people are now blogging about the cons from more »

I’m writing this on my iPod, using the shiny new WordPress app, figuring I’ll test it now rather than on the road. I’m very excited about Worldcon next week, and I’ll be blogging as much as I can.

Playing For Keeps Kindle Sale, Other Podiobook Authors Hit Big!

mightymur — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 09:07:25 +0000

It’s been a shitty week- both husband and kiddo have been ill with various viruses and strep, we lost power for a day and Internet for two days. As life has been either busy or crappy for several weeks, I’ve fallen way behind. But still! The world has not stopped, so we continue!

Balticon 2009

mightymur — Wed, 27 May 2009 17:04:51 +0000

Balticon is a strange animal. I’ve been to the huge productions (OK, just one, but I’ve attended Dragon*Con regularly for many years) that are exciting and overwhelming, and I’ve been to small cons that have their awesome moments, but feel tired and drab much of the time. And then there’s Balticon.

I was excited to hear that BlogHer was doing a roving conference this fall, traveling down the east coast and making a stop in Greensboro, NC. I was less than thrilled when they canceled the G’boro (and all the other southern cities) stop.

However, as Converge South is happening in more »
