So, after a half-day of whispering at people at the PNWA kickoff and administrative stuff, I still have only half as much voice as usual (possibly less). But I think all things strange and undone have been taken care of, now. At least I hope so. Except for the voice thing…
Seems I [...]

Was a bit of a wreck when I finally got up on Thursday so I could go to my panel. I was supposed to meet Jackie Kessler, Caitlin Kittredge, Diana Rowland, and Sean Speakman for an early breakfast before the ladies had their own panel at 10, but I was too draggy and my [...]

So… I flew off on Wednesday morning to San Diego for Comic Con International. It was my first time and I had a lot of fun. Imagine my surprise when I discovered I was on the same plane with Caitlin Kittredge. But she had upgraded to First Class, so we only got to [...]

Just packing to run off to Comic Con in San Diego tomorrow. If any of you are in the SD area this weekend, I hope you’ll be able to drop in and say hi. Even if you can’t do the convention (they are sold out–I know), I’m going to be doing something at Borders in [...]

Scene of the (fictional) Crime… Perhaps
Posted in Writing, photos, research on July 14, 2009 | 4 Comments »
So yesterday I did a little location checking and ended up moving an event in the WIP from an anonymous parking lot in Lake City to a much creepier location: the old Seattle Malting and Brewing Company buildings on Airport Way. This site eventually became the original Rainier Brewery before the newer building (which is [...]

This means no piles of fabulous costumes for Dragon*Con, which would be mega fun since they are having a [...]
