Ruins in Brick and Mortar

11OctoberSuzanneNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

IÂ just got word from Eric Reynolds thatÂ Ruins Extraterrestrial, an anthology in which I have a story, will be arriving inÂ brick and mortar big chain stores around the country!Â This is very exciting news, as I’ve had so many family members and friends wanting to know where they can buy a copy…and loathe to do it

Screaming

And flipping cartwheels–that too.Â Becca’s got a contract on her book, Hush, Hush!Â After going to auction, no less.Â I’m beside myself thrilled for her, and feel highly privileged to have seen it in the premie stages.Â It’s also very encouraging, since I know Becca put lots of love, sweat and tears into rewrites and

WorldCon Remainder

18AugustSuzanne5 CommentsNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

I really should make this several nice, long, chatty blogs…but, ya know, life is moving on and I’m moving on with it.Â So you’ll get the crammed, somewhat shorter version.Â And my graduation report?Â It’ll probably be even more crammed and tardy as well. The rest of WorldCon was great, though a bit blurred.Â We

Days 1 and 2 of WorldCon 2008

I was swaying on my feet by the end of the day, so this will be shorter than it should be.Â Yesterday (Wednesday) we caught a couple panels after registering, and I thoroughly enjoyed the one on writing a good query letter, offered by Kristen Nelson.Â She was upbeat and funny while being very informative.Â

Trinocon Highlights and WorldCon Clothes

28JulySuzanneNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

The pieces fell into place at the last minute for us to attend Trinocon, so we scooted over there and enjoyed our first relaxacon.Â We made a pretty full day of it, with lots of good panels, but my favorite panel would have to be the world building one in which we, the audience, got

Dragonforge

14JulySuzanneNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers

On Tuesday last I recieved my signed copy ofÂ Dragonforge, James Maxey’sÂ newly released second book in theÂ Dragon AgeÂ saga.Â This book was one I got to see in the development stage, and had read the first half months ago, so I expected to skimÂ ahead ’til I found the spot where’d I’d left off.Â Instead I found myself

Belated But Heartfelt Congrats

I’m not sure how I missed blogging this.Â I was so excited for Becca’s new status as an agented authorÂ while it wasÂ all developing, I was ready to receive circus training so I could better express my enthusiasm in cartwheels and backflips.Â But, since I was able to chat it all out in a private writingÂ forum

WorldCon and Submissions

18JuneSuzanneNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

I have my WorldCon schedule–and let me just say, it is soooÂ awesome to have a WorldCon schedule! I’m on a panel Saturday at 2:30 (or 14:30) with the working title of ‘Getting to the top: Mountains in Fact and Fiction’.Â Should be fun. I’ll also be hanging outÂ at the Hadley Rille Books Ruins signing, assuming

My Doubly-Delayed Announcement

4DecemberSuzanne1 CommentNewsy Bits About Writing and Writers, Writing

I mentioned before that I wouldÂ be makingÂ an announcement about a new venture, but our guidelines didn’t satisfy and I felt I should plead the fifth rather than stumble through an apologetic attempt at postingÂ the guidelines here.Â However, after sending the entire editorial board off to wrestle Syrian spiders (rather like Bengalese tigers, but with more
