Fun With Phineas

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , , , , | Comments Off on Fun With Phineas
Today’s blog tour post is all about Phineas. I get a lot of questions about the little ass, so I figured I’d so a character sheet for him. Check it out over at The Book Nympho to find out more about your favorite unicorn. (There’s a review over there too.) In the meantime, someone was nice enough to record my panel at NYCC. It’s up over at youtube, but I’ll just embed it down below.  I haven’t watched it and I probably won’t just because I have a very difficult time watching myself on camera, but hopefully the rest of you will find it amusing. 🙂   Thanks to the lovely person who recorded it! Also, just as a fun note, last Friday night after my comic con shenanigans, I got a chance to meet up with Marcus Wolf (Marcus is David Garrett’s guitarist and was super helpful when  I asked… Read more

Blog Tour Beginnings

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | Leave a comment
Okay – the Trace of Moonlight blog tour has officially begun. 😀 So this means in general, I’ll be posting up links every day to reviews, promo, guest blogs and interviews – check them out for a chance to win one of ten copies of A Trace of Moonlight. So first off – today there’s an interview today over at Preternatura, and a review over at Place of Reads. 😀 Additional business of interest? Word Whores is about to have an opening for another blogger, so we are looking for someone to fill the Monday slot – I’ve got feelers out to some people, though it’s a group decision between me and the other members. However, if you’re interested and know you can come up with a weekly post (on a chosen topic), drop me a line.… Read more

Con Aftermath

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , , , , | 1 Comment
Clearly I didn’t post much the last few days – not even twitter or tumblr. Part of that was just time (and lousy signal)…and also just being so tired I couldn’t make the effort. (No, I don’t know who photobombed Gandalf there, but I gave up trying to get pictures without people. And lego people rock.) Not that the con wasn’t fun – it was, but I think it was a tad too crowded for my tastes overall. (And right now I’m pretty grumpy – lack of sleep and just plain travel fatigue will do that to a person.) Most of my pictures came out blurry (of course) so I don’t actually have much to show, but as far as recaps go: Thursday afternoon, I got in late in the afternoon, met with my agent and toured the agency office and then headed down to the Javits center with Emma… Read more

Getting Ready to *poof*

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , , , | 2 Comments
I’m in my usual before con travel mindset – which tends to translate into absolute panic. Do I have my tickets? Do I have clothes? Do I have my swag? Maps? Portable chargers? Where’s my hotel? How the hell do these free shuttle buses work? That being said, I’m obviously going to be a bit scarce for a few days (though the train has wireless tomorrow, so who knows?) I’m a tad nervous about my panel, but suppose that’s normal. I always have those crazy moments of self-doubt where I’m afraid I’m going to open my mouth and sound like a gibbering idiot, but hopefully I’ll figure something out before that happens. Or not. In which case you can feel free to point and laugh. Everyone else does. >_< In the meantime, I’ve got a bunch of people I’m hoping to catch up with and get my geek on in… Read more

Topically Bored

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | Leave a comment
I’ve been sitting here staring at this blank blog page off and on for the last few hours. Part of that is because I’m at work. Part of that is because my back has decided to go stupid the last few days and I’m hurting. Part of that is because I was up until 3 AM playing Civ V. (One day I’ll learn, I promise. But until then? I’m gonna build me another granary, yo.) But in either case, some days I really have a hard time coming up with anything interesting to talk about.  Every once in a while I jump on the “popular topic of the moment” – but usually I find I have very little to add to the discussion that hasn’t already been said a million times by others anyway. (Or I’m just so sick of hearing about said topic that I don’t really want to… Read more
