  • Review: Reckless by Anne Stuart

    ISBN-13: 978-0778328490 Source: Net Galley Miss Charlotte Spencer wants to become a woman of the world without experiencing the messy situations the condition normally entails. But nothing works quite the way she planned. She can’t even curse properly—except when she stumbles blindly into her secret crush, Adrian Rohan, cub of the devilish Marquess of Haverstoke…

  • Con Report: ReConStruction 2010

    It was the opposite of Dragon*Con. ReConStruction, the tenth occasional North American Science Fiction Convention held in Raleigh August 5-8, was the definition of low-key. Preliminary counts put attendance at only a little over six hundred. But that only meant a glorious lack of queues. There were no lines for Raleigh’s famous rickshaw taxis when…

  • Cover dance of glee

    Remember my little ugly duckling of a story that no one loved because my heroine happened to be lesbian…and a sorceress…and totally unapologetic about any of it? Well, it’s official, “Personal Demons” has turned into a swan, thanks to the kind offices of editors Catherine Lundoff and JoSelle Vanderhooft and the good folks at Drollerie…

  • A little bit of Intervention

    It may seem backwards to post my photos of Intervention Con, the brand new Washington DC-area webcomics convention, first but it’s only fair.

  • Review: Ruthless by Anne Stuart

    ISBN-13: 978-0778328483 Source: Purchased Yes, it’s true. I’ve succumbed to the siren lure of Net Galley, which means I’m back in the reviewing business—at least for books I actually want to read. And I always want to read Anne Stuart. Even when I rage at her for forgetting to describe a major character (not a…

  • Intervention Schedule

    No, not that kind of intervention. This is Intervention capitalized, a very new webcomic convention gracing the Hilton DC/Rockville, Maryland, September 10-12. Yes, the con starts tomorrow, and yes, I do have panels. So does Greg, the darling spouse and squirrel wrangler of Intravenous Caffeine. This will be Greg’s first con as a participating artist…

  • My 2010 Dragon*Con Schedule of Dooooom

    Diana Gabaldon! Peter David! Elizabeth Moon! Jeanne C. Stein! Jody Lynn Nye! Eric Flint! Not only are they all at Dragon*Con, they’re all on panels with moi. Not to mention all the other fabulous people on my twelve panels. Yes, twelve. Now you know where the Dooooom comes from. FRIDAY 1 p.m. Collaborations: Are Two…

  • The Vampires Of: Ginjer Buchanan

  • The Vampires Of…

    For those of you who like it when I wear my reporter hat, I’ve started a new mini-series at Buzzy Multimedia: "The Vampires Of…" The first installment features the delightful Rachel Caine, with a photo of her and her husband R. Cat. Enjoy!

    Today’s Beyond the Veil post wasn’t what I planned doesn’t mean you shouldn’t read it. 😉
