First of all, I’m thrilled to appear today on Red Tash’s Writer Wednesday blog…hop on over there and leave a comment for a chance to win a free ebook of THE GRIMM LEGACY!!

Second of all, I keep meaning to post the winners of the giveaways from my book launch party last weekend, and life keeps jumping up and biting me in annoying yet necessary distractions. My apologies for the delay…but without further ado….

Congratulations!

Thanks to Linda Johnson and the Friends of the Champaign County Library for such a wonderful event. It truly was a blast, and it went so well!

Thanks to Mom, I will have photos of the event to post before too long, but there are so many good ones, it’s hard to narrow it down! After this weekend, I will definitely get right on that, because they’re too good not to share.

Speaking of this weekend, I’ll be at the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio this weekend, appearing on panels, signing some bookmarks, showing up in the Library, and all kinds of other fun stuff.

Here’s my panel schedule…

Thursday (5/31)                I’m not on any panels that day.

Friday (6/1)                         11 am    Gender Bending Fiction

Saturday (6/2)                   2 pm      Writing as a Juggling Act

Saturday (6/2)                   3 pm      Flash Us Your Fiction, Part II

Sunday (6/3)                      11 am    The Business of Writing

In between, I’ll probably be wandering around the conference, networking in the bar, talking to people in the hallway, or typing away in a corner on at least one of the several projects I’m in the middle of at the moment. If you’re going to be at Origins, stop and say hi!

And, because there’s not ENOUGH going on this weekend, I also need to announce that I have an essay appearing in EIGHTH DAY GENESIS: A WORLDBUILDING CODEX FOR WRITERS AND CREATIVES, which released today in ebook. Yes, print versions are coming. If you, or anyone you know, write science fiction, fantasy, or horror, or some version thereof, these essays are invaluable advice from all kinds of writers.

AND for those of you who asked…THE GRIMM LEGACY is now available as a NOOK Book!

Whew! I’m tired just writing all that!
