Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Have to see if I can get my copy of A Most Unsuitable Man back from my CP in time to get an autograph, and see if I can get hold of a new copy of Shattered Rainbows, since I can't find my old one....

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hee! Susan, don't sweat it - you'll have a blast.

I am a big-ass tease.

I just got to see the starred PW review for Matty Groves, on the agreement that the early look = me not posting or forwarding it until Monday.

But DAYUM!

It's not just a good review - it's a rave. And for once, we don't have a single mistake in the book summation, either.

Dude, I am fucking chuffed.

Mommmm, Deb's teasing us!

So cool, Deb!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

They're going to be at CascadiaCon, which is mostly a fantasy convention, since both are kind of moving into historical paranormals, MJP especially. JB mentioned in her newsletter that if anyone was going to be there, let her know and she'd try to meet them. So I emailed her and said hi, you may know my name from the Beau Monde list, can't make the conference itself, but if you have any spare time outside of it, I'd love to meet you. And it went from there.

I'm already feeling tongue-tied over a week in advance. One of my CPs and I have been drafting query letters together, and the target market phrase we came up with for me was, "My work should appeal to fans of the character-driven romantic adventures of Jo Beverley and Mary Jo Putney, along with women who enjoy the military fiction of Patrick O'Brian and Bernard Cornwell." And I'm having breakfast with half those people! 2/3 of the living ones! Eek!
