Due to circumstances this blog has mostly been on hiatus for the last year, and I want to make official that it will remain on hiatus until October, at which time I hope to start blogging regularly again in anticipation of my rather busy release schedule in 2015.

For now:

I will be attending Loncon 3 (London Worldcon) from 14 – 18 August. I’ve posted my programming schedule HERE. This is going to be a huge convention with tons of things going on.

I will be giving out postcards of my forthcoming Tachyon collection, with its fabulous Julie Dillon cover. (If you come to my reading on Monday, I’ll have postcards signed by Dillon herself.) I will also have copies of The Secret Journal of Beatrice Hassi Barahal, a short story with illustrations by Julie Dillon, for sale at my signing, and on me at other times.

I will be one of the Guests of Honor at Fantasycon 2014, 5 – 7 September in York, UK. It’s a small, informal con with lots of chance to talk and meet people, and I encourage you to attend if you can. I’m hoping I’ll get to do some programming on world building!

If you attend either or both conventions, please do introduce yourself. I go to cons to meet readers (and friends and colleagues) and I am there to be available to talk, sign, and wax eloquent (if the opportunity arises).

As I said above, I hope to resume regular blogging in October. If all goes as planned I will also have a newsletter sign up soon, for an occasional newsletter that will mostly announce news and publication information, with a few extras thrown in to sweeten the deal. At some point in the fall my web site will have a new look, although I’ll make no official announcement; it will just switch over when it’s ready to go.

Thank you.
