Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

not your mom's socks.
Am taking suggestions over on fbook & twitter for the best kind of contest to give away my last remaining ARC.
Which I will be doing next week.
[note to file, if you buying a copy of Updraft or getting it through a library is a hardship and you and wish to read it come September, I will help figure out a way you can do so. Am working out a few possibilities for how this will work still (might be a version of the traveling book), and I can't afford to make this offer outside of buffistas, but b.org is specifically mentioned in the acknowledgements, and it's important to me to do this here.]

x-posted to F2F and ita’s thread:
We’ve decided through discussion and consensus that those who wish to celebrate ita’s life together in LA will gather over MLK weekend next January. We will gather the weekend of Jan 16-17. I don’t plan to book an official hotel or venue, but I’ll list a number of options in the Santa Monica area so people can find something that works for them (or share place using airbnb or similar). We will plan to gather on Saturday the 16th for dinner and to share memories at a restaurant to be determined. Sunday will be open for people to spend together or in smaller groups at the beach or area attractions.
Please mark your calendars if you want to attend so you can save up for it or make appropriate plans. All are welcome.
Please meet in ita’s thread for further discussion.

Would love 'ffista feedback on my new song I'm pitching tonight. Here's your special private link, obviously please don't share. [link]
It's based on the japanese concept of kintsugi, mending broken pottery with gold.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Want to buy a book? Want to buy an AWESOME book? Want to buy an awesome book by Mr. Scrappy? Well, here's your chance! Yes, my guy has written a book and it is about to come out. We are very excited. You can find out about it and order it here: [link] You can also get it on Amazon, but we get more $$$ if you buy it this way rather than from the publisher.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have a new short story up at The Book Smugglers, "The Merger"! It is my favorite story, one that feels the most "me."
You can also buy it as an ebook: you get an exclusive Q&A and deleted scenes, and I get royalties! Everybody wins!
