Well, it may not be the New York Times, but according to my editor, Dragonbreath is going to be appearing (at #13) on the IndieBound children’s bestseller list, which is a listing for independant bookstores across the country. And they’re reprinting. And that’s a lot more bestseller action than I expected. (Previous expectation: None.) At last, […]

Yesterday was awesome. Went to the zoo with friends to sketch, got the behind the scenes tour again, so I got to pet the lame ocelot (very friendly, missing part of front foot, so can’t be bred or introduced to other ocelots–she can’t defend herself–but loves humans to death.) Getting licked by an ocelot is possibly the […]

Whew, what a weekend. Great con, very profitable–unlike every other con I’ve done this year, AC has not suffered any apparent economic slowdown (thank goodness!) so I actually turned something like my usual sales. Bit more in the art show than usual, bit less at the table, but it ultimately balances out to the same number. We […]
One of the fundamental differences between Kevin and I is that I get up in the morning and go "Aaaaargghghhlllbleggghfuckit," and Kevin gets up in the morning and goes "Arise, my Weasel Queen! Today we conquer!" Fortunately, we rarely have to get up at the same time, or this might be problematic. "I’m really not a morning […]
A day of wild pre-con prep, which included doing page 600 of Digger. (Good god. Just…good god.) I still have to stuff print books, mat one last piece of art, do a water change in the fish tank, and pack. Tomorrow, we hit the road!
