Seanan isn't dead. Just exhausted.

1. I'm not dead! Since it wasn't widely advertised before I went away, I'm in New York for Business Purposes (tm) this week, hanging out with the wonderful crew at DAW, meeting other fabulous people (hi, Colleen!), and generally being A Good Little Author. This has resulted in some truly fantastic things, many of which I'll be sharing when I'm not so tired that I just want to fall down and sleep for a month or more.

2. No, I haven't had a chance to try data recovery tricks yet -- I haven't had a chance to sleep. My flight landed at 7:05 AM on Wednesday, and I've basically been running since then (witness this being my first opportunity to get to the Internet). I'll be at Jon and Merav's on Saturday, and Will will be there; between Geek Thing One and Geek Thing Two, if it can be fixed, it will be fixed. I'll keep everyone posted.

3. On a similar note, while I try to answer every comment made on this journal, I'm not even going to pretend to bother with the data loss post. There's lots more of you than there is (are?) of me, and I'm tired enough that I'd start quoting nursery rhymes and giggling a great deal. Not actually attractive or entertaining. Well, potentially entertaining for you guys, but...

4. There's news on the Ravens in the Library front: while there have been printing delays, the editors are expecting books Real Soon Now. So if you were planning to order a copy before you missed the first wave, now's the time. Remember, I'll smile pretty and even sign it for you if ask me to.

5. Tomorrow, Sheila (my editor) and I are going to go to the New Jersey Pine Barrens, land of cranberries, blueberries, and cut-rate horror movies. I'm very excited about this, because I'm, well, still me.

That's all for right now; the good stuff gets to wait until I'm awake. I miss everybody. Be home soon.

Poor Jersey Devil. I don't think it's prepared for Seanan.

I didn't actually see the Jersey Devil, sadly.

Man, you are all over the place! Let me know when you are back home and available for dinner!

seanan_mcguire

March 15 2009, 01:13:01 UTC 8 years ago

Absolutely! Do you still want to come out and do Counters?

Get sleep if possible. And the Pine Barrens! Say hit to the Jersey Devil for me!

Oh, and yes, I'll be orsering Ravens, and asking for an autograph, if I can get one. :)

I will happily autographed your copy for you.

Remember, I'll smile pretty and even sign it for you if ask me to.

Imagines asking you to sign...

Imagines trying to get signatures from every contributor...

Now it might come to Comic Con with me, as that will probably be the only chance I will have to get it signed. Mmm.. I wonder if any of the other authors will be at Comic Con...

So, if Jon and I are Geek Things One and Two...who's the Cat in the Hat?

(Probably either you or Merav, come to think of it. I wonder who the poor fish is. Kate?)

It's entirely much more likely that *I'm* the Cat in the Hat -- he is, after all, only trying to organize their entertainment!

Thinking good thoughts and leaving Thin Mints for Coyote for you.

Thank you, doll.

4. Yay! I can't wait to get my copy.

5. You know, I just saw the episode of MonsterQuest about the Jersey Devil. Too cool!

Have fun!

It was awesome.

*passes along some Instant Sleep (tm)*

Also, I'm excited to hear what you think of the Barrens. I've never bothered to go, which is kinda odd, given that I;n from Jersey.

seanan_mcguire

March 15 2009, 01:54:50 UTC 8 years ago

I thought they were spectacularly large and full of trees. Their existence enthralls me completely.

The Pine Barrens ::gasps::

seanan_mcguire

They were...VAST.

Totally unrelated to anything, I just saw this, and thought you'd want to see it.

Yay for productive travels, and fingers crossed that the geek things can help with data recovery! *hugs*

The geek things are wonderful. They make everything better.

Rosemary and Rue

Just to give you some good news -- amazon.co.uk (that's the UK branch, who are slower than the US one at picking up listings) is now listing "Rosemary and Rue: An October Daye Novel (Toby Daye)". Yay! Do pre-orders via Amazon help? Otherwise I'll put it on my wishlist for my birthday that month...
