So earlier this week, I read this post by Seanan McGuire and picked up Tam Lin by Pamela Dean. (They knew what they were doing when they made it possible to just buy books on an iPad, man. This is a dangerous future I live in.) I quite enjoyed it! It’s one of those booksContinue reading “What Laura’s Reading Lately: Tam Lin by Pamela Dean”

We’re in the last day of the Kickstarter …
Women Up to No Good is just under $3,000 shy of goal! If you’ve been waiting to back this project, now is the time to get your pre-order in, possibly with a customized cover or a dedication!
Women Up to No Good – Excerpt!
Wanna read an excerpt and find out what influenced “Mary In the Looking Glass”? (I’m just saying, the most common refrain from the few people who have already read this is “Where the hell did that come from?” Well, except for my mother. My mother knew exactly where that came from.)
So a little bit of self-promotion … “The Lost Languages of Exiles” has been chosen for The Best of Metaphorosis 2017! It will be coming out February 1st, and I’m thrilled to have “Exiles” included. Two artists whose work survives into the universe of “Exiles” and Dropping Slow are Tom Jones and Ursula K. LeGuin. There’s aContinue reading
shameless self promotion UPDATE
Hey, if you followed the link to The Cassandra Project and felt that she shipping cost was a little … much–there was a bit of confusion there that has since been fixed: Those of you who have bought chapbooks from me before will know that I usually do free shipping on them and just factor thatContinue reading “shameless self promotion UPDATE”
Shameless self-promotion!
My story, “Four Cassandras,” is in this chapbook anthology: The Cassandra Project! The description, from the ordering site: The Cassandra Project was born out of a frantic post-election desire to do something, anything, to make the world a little brighter. I settled on the very sensible solution of compiling, editing, and printing an anthology about theContinue reading “Shameless self-promotion!”
The unexpected sweetness of Sandman Slim
I’ve not made it a secret that one of the things that’s gotten me through the past six months of general “what in actual hell is going on?” has been catching up on Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series via audiobooks in my car. I started reading these shortly after the first one came out–I checkedContinue reading “The unexpected sweetness of Sandman Slim”
I get tired of NPR and music periodically, so I’ll check out audiobooks from the library to listen to in my car. The interesting side effect to this is that I’ll end up reading things in the voice of whatever narrator I’ve been spending the 60 minutes I spend on my daily commute with (that’sContinue reading
Another Sweeney AU poem, except out of context it’s not very AU aside from the POV. This is part of the Every Single Day Challenge, to raise money for the ACLU. You can donate any time; if you can’t donate, please feel free to signal boost.
stuff Laura’s read recently: The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashanti Wilson
I got Kai Ashanti Wilson’s The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps after reading a review of the second novella (which I just started). A caravan and the mercenaries protecting it arrive at the last stop before they head into the wildeeps, which is a dangerous, magical wilderness. The Sorcerer is a new guy (or it seemedContinue reading “stuff Laura’s read recently: The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashanti Wilson”
