What I've been up to...

Well, to be honest, for the past three weeks I've mostly been snuggling a baby. (Did I mention yet that I produced a new human right at the end of September? For more details on that go here.) I also finished the translation project I was working on, and I have commissioned new artwork for Traitor's Hope. But, mostly it's been baby snuggling.

Ok, fine... to be accurate, it has also been diaper changes, feedings, and crying (both me and the offspring).

Now, I am trying to get my act together for C4 Winnipeg and making sure I have everything in order. In addition to selling and signing copies of Blade's Edge at table A223 along with the talented and delightful Katya Kolmakov, I will also be talking on a panel about world building on Saturday the 29th at 12pm in the Pan Am room. I would love to see people there!

The husband and I are still figuring out how to manage caring for the newborn that weekend but chances are good I will have her with me for at least some of the time, so if you are interested in meeting the newest human in my family, that's a good reason to stop by as well. I hope to have her in costume but am unsure what that will be yet.

Finally, good and bad news about Traitor's Hope. The bad news is, there is zero chance that I will have it ready to sell for ComiCon. I'm bummed about that, because I was really looking forward to having it ready to sell to the folks who bought Blade's Edge last year. The good news is that I think it's quite possible that I'll have the book ready to sell for mid-December and I should have some sweet bookmarks with new cover art teasers made up in time for ComiCon complete with where to find Traitor's Hope when it comes out etc.

So, that's about it from here for now. Here's a photo of my latest walk, which was a serious accomplishment for including both offspring and dog and being reasonably long despite me recovering from a c-section.



Hope to see folks at C4Winnipeg! Happy Fall!
