Declaring Tab Bankruptcy
And going into the second half of this year less burdened, hopefully… but because I’m an inveterate pack rat, I can’t just close the tabs, I have to record them somewhere. (announcer voice) AND THAT SOMEWHERE… IS HERE. And then…
My #Nebulas2023 Schedule
I’m looking forward to going back to the SFWA Nebula Conference this year–the first time they’ve happened in person since 2019–and I love that most sessions will be streamed live and archived online! Here’s my panel schedule for next weekend:…

I’ll be on two panels at the SFWA Nebula Conference (ONLINE) next weekend: “Finding the Right Literary Agent & Maintaining Your Sanity Along the Way” (Sunday, May 22, 2022, at 3:00 PM Pacific time) also with Emmeline Duncan, Stina Leicht,…
My Norwescon 44 Schedule
It’s been more than two years since my last in-person convention, but I’m headed back out there next month. Norwescon’s concom has been consistently transparent about their safety policies, including drawing a hard line at requiring all attendees to be…
