So I’m sitting here, drinking coffee and listening to my favorite audiobook series, the new No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency book, Tea Time for the Traditionally Built. There’s something about the narrator’s voice (Lisette Lecat) that really draws me in, plus I love the quaint charm of Alexander McCall Smith’s Botswana. Love it. Anyways.

I spent the weekend finishing a short story for a friend’s anthology. I’m kind of in love with the story, my first venture into alien territory, and I’m not talking immigrants here, or maybe I am. It’s called Seafoam and we’ll see what the editor says. I hope she’s as enamored as I am (I also hope she digs perverts and tongues). *shrugs*

I’m getting really excited for Thursday. What’s Thursday, you ask? Well it’s Dragon*Con silly (with an asterisk, thank you). I’ll be hanging out with a murder of Leaguers and other paranormal types and doing tons of panels and such…also drinking heavily from my pink “Bitch” flask, but that’s beside the point, or maybe it is the point.

Here’s the rundown…

Now, I’m assuming the little M’s and H’s stand for the Marriot and the Hyatt. I could be wrong, but I’m sure you’ll find me if you’re hunting.

I understand that not everybody can make it to my reading/signing for thoroughly filthy good times, so if you need something signed, feel free to hit me up after panels or in the hallways, but probably not in the bar, unless you’re buying, then hell, I’m a cheap date.

Who all’s going?
