I forgot to mention that we also voted early and got our COVID boosters and flu shots. Also sold or rehomed several items as part of my cunning "let's start cleaning out the house just in case" longterm plan.
So this week:
So this week:
- Silver Moon is out in the new German translation from Ylva Publishing today! Get your menopausal werewolf fix in Deutsch! Right at this moment in time it is #1 in Lesbian Fiction for Kindle and #2 for print. I'm savoring this delightful event for a bit.
- Started my new contracting gig and it is every bit as much chaotic nonsense as I anticipated, but the people are nice so far. So we'll see how it goes. Also, I'm tired and my sleep is hosed, but such is the nature of first week.
- I'm teaching Crimson Peaks and Menacing Mansions: Writing Gothic Horror at the Rambo Academy on Sunday, 10/23 and we got room for more signups! I'm fun, I'm entertaining and I know my shit! Come take a class with me!
- I got profiled as a entrepreneur for Canvas Rebel this week.
- Jana's new companion care PCA started today and it sounds like they had a pleasant outing. We're easing into this with 2 hours a week, which is about what our friends were doing for free, but cannot do consistently right now due to kids being back in school, etc. PCA care is not cheap so if you have room in your budget to do a bit of gift shopping on Jana's Etsy, it would help (she also sells things at the Open Book's MCBA Shop).
- You can still sign up for Jennie Goloboy's upcoming virtual reading from Obviously, Aliens at Space Cowboy Books this Tuesday 10/25! Jennie gives a good reading and Space Cowboy Books (in Joshua Tree) has been getting a lot of big names in lately. Come join us!
- Queen of Swords Press news - Rem Wigmore's sequel to Foxhunt, Wolfpack, will come out in midJanuary instead of mid December to give us all more time to get stuff done. Rem has a great new essay up at the Climate Fiction Writers League here.
- More Queen of Swords Press news: the ALA's Barbara Gittings Stonewall Book Awards committee requested a review copy of The Language of Roses by Heather Rose Jones for consideration! A book has to be recommended by a librarian or two get considered for this and it's only our second book to be nominated. Roses is also up on the Nebular Award Reading List - it is eligible in the Novella category for the Nebs, the Hugos, World Fantasy and anything else that considers fantasy at the 40k word limit. Please consider nominating it!
- Looking forward to another fine Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society show this Sunday night! Seriously, they helped me stay sane during lockdown and I haven't missed one of their shows in a couple of years now.
- Going to The Queen's Ball: A Bridgerton Experience next month because I have the perfect group of friends to go with. And I need good, fluffy fun. Especially after I spend 3 days at the Minneapolis Convention Center the weekend before that tabling at Twin Cities Con, which is going to be wild.
