On the one hand, I'm excited, 'cos Sir Terry! On the other hand, this is going to be bittersweet, because this is probably the last book tour he'll be doing. I'm wearing cry-proof eyeliner, just to be safe.
Sometimes it's good to cry.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

And you're interviewing the Damned?
I think 2011 is sorry and is trying to make up.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist
Just wanted to spread the word that my college roommate (Stasia, who writes Writer on the Side) will soon be in the LA area to promote her YA, a novel in verse about dance (pubbing on my birthday no less).
Here are the details:
Thursday 20 OCTOBER - Mrs. Nelson's, La Verne at 5 pm Gretchen McNeil and Stasia Kehoe with special guest Elise Allen
Sunday 23 OCTOBER - Vroman's, Pasadena at 2 pm Allen Zadoff, Gretchen McNeil, Stasia Kehoe with special guest Elise Allen
All authors spent their teen years as performers and will talk about how these experiences found their way onto the pages of their novels. Gretchen McNeil is a voice actress and sings with the group Cirque Berzerk and Elise Allen “co-wrote” Elixir with Hilary Duff. Stasia says that both are absolute hoots and entertainment-industry insiders so the events should be fun.
ETA: She does know about the Buffistas (and is a Buffy fan) so feel free to mention it.

I may have just tried to scroll up. On a book. An actual book.
