So here is the question — how dedicated am I? I slept poorly last night, and I attended 4 straight hours of readings this evening, from 7 – 11 (two different readings). All of which is fine, but I have a 5 a.m. call scheduled (with various international futurist folks; it’s not a great time …
Okay. So I had a massive pile of logistical stuff to deal with, like contacting Elliott Bay and Hugo House and Book Larder and Capitol Cider here in Seattle, to see if I can stop by tomorrow and show them Feast and talk about ordering books / events, should I come back to Seattle soon. …
Funny travel / eating moment. So yesterday, I was VERY tired, and I really just wanted some spicy Asian comfort food for dinner. Luckily, there was a Vietnamese restaurant with good reviews (Long Provincial) half a block away from my hotel. So I staggered in there, made it to a table, and ordered a dish …
This is the panel I’ll be on tomorrow evening at MLA, just fyi. “Sri Lankan American Women and Non-binary Writers: Contemporary Investments and Future Directions” THURSDAY, 9 JANUARY, 7.00 PM-8.15 PM, SKAGIT 4 (Washington State Convention Center) While examining investments in human rights, transgenerational memory, and alternative forms of justice, panelists investigate the current trends …

The best cosmo I’ve had (pomegranate instead of cranberry, and John uses citric acid instead of lime juice, to maintain the clear pink color, a trick I totally plan to try when I get home for my Sri Lankan arrack cocktail experiments!), beautifully balanced, along with a stunning presentation of my happy hour oysters (six …
Nice morning in Columbus. I woke up, realized I should pack before our 9:30 pick-up, so did that while eating leftover Indian food (if you stir the rice into the sauce, it won’t go dry overnight, and while it would be better heated, room temperature the next morning is okay with me) and listening to …
Parallels Writing Conference in Scott Woods‘s new Streetlight Guild in Columbus, Ohio. Totally jealous of this space! Want something like it in Oak Park…or in Austin?

Home again, honestly feeling kind of ill. Got quite sick on the airplane, again on the car ride home. Hopefully it’s just motion sickness and will pass, but I don’t normally get sick on planes; hope I didn’t catch some kind of con crud or plane yuck. I adore traveling, but there are definite hazards. …
I brought a few extra copies of Feast with me to World Fantasy, along with the ones I was delivering to Kickstarter backers here, and bookseller Amy of Book Universe bought herself a copy of my book! We love our booksellers. Support your local indie bookstore. 🙂
