...gazin' into space they let their minds a-wander, 'stead of following the Good Lord's rules.

"Red as Snow," December 2013.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

"The Last of the Indricothere in the Twilight of the Midway"
You're just using a random title generator now.

Unnamed critical essay
Here, let me use the random title generator: "Panoptic Digressions in a Bicameral Gender Disparity: Perspectives from a Postmodern Pandora."

What's really sad is that I'm NOT using a random title generator. These are the titles that FIT THE STORIES. There is an Indricothere. It is the last one. It is on a carnival midway. It is also the last one. TOTAL ACCURACY SOUNDS LIKE WORD SALAD.

MM - word salad. With bacon.

Looks like we don't get to see you until October. If you have time on either side of Mile-Hi we can feed you and use our hot tub to make Seanan soup.

Let us know sometime before the Con.

March 20 2013, 18:50:58 UTC 4 years ago

Btw: Mile-hi will include Fred's birthday.

I have zero time surrounding any of my conventions. The day job doesn't give me that much leeway.

I love that new Toby books are released in September. My birthday is in September. This can't possibly be a coincidence, right? It's like DAW knows I want more Toby and Tybalt for my birthday. *admires pretty cover again* *sends birthday list to husband*

March 21 2013, 01:41:33 UTC 4 years ago

Happy birthday!

You have SIX book-length works coming out in a 13-month period?! I think you have earned that nap.

March 21 2013, 01:42:04 UTC 4 years ago

Now if only I could have it...

Eee....is that the first time Sparrow Hill Road appeared on this list or had I missed it before? I knew you said it was getting published but I don't remember a date attached to it before.

March 21 2013, 02:20:27 UTC 4 years ago

It was on the prior list.

Is Sparrow Hill Road a new universe? Or is it a Toby book? Same with The Winter Long.

March 21 2013, 02:21:00 UTC 4 years ago

If you hit the respective tags, all your questions will be answered. :)

March 21 2013, 02:35:56 UTC 4 years ago

Yay! Someone who loves Godspell as much as I do! Stephen Schwartz rules :-) And I am so bummed that I am going to miss you at Disney World! By only a few days! My family and I are going from May 28- June 4 - so close, and yet so far... And BTW- I just finished Midnight Blue-Light Special- so AWESOME!! I read it on the way to and from my friend's wedding and I'm sure I got more than a few odd looks for spontaneous laughter or edge-of-seat, two-inches-from-nose book-gripping :-) I can't wait for the next one!
