  1. @megmccarron Yeah, I can see why - not many biographies have this scope of research coupled with engaging prose.
  2. @megmccarron It's wonderful. I'm a little over halfway through.
  3. Slept so very poorly last night; blargh. At least all I have scheduled today is to finish reading Julie Phillips' biography of Tiptree.
  4. @nicolaz Me too. *g* Mostly, I'm glad that folks who prefer ebooks have more options now.
  5. For all those who've been waiting: "Beyond Binary" is now available on Kindle! amazon.com/dp/B00885Z12Q/…
  6. Book read & reviewed, and an author-spotlight post half drafted. I call this a victory day, considering I'm still under the weather.
  7. Trying to lay out the few "author spotlights" I want to do for a current project--and making up as I go along the format for writing them!
  8. @michaeldthomas Doesn't look like he did in this month's Locus.
  9. @michaeldthomas Thanks! I was pretty excited. :) Can't wait for my print copy to show up in the post.
  10. @michaeldthomas Karen Burnham!
  11. @mythicdelirium Thanks!
  12. Pleasant surprise of the day: "Beyond Binary" reviewed in the June issue of Locus; it's also one of their June "New & Notable" books!
  13. Awake, and feeling a bit better than yesterday. Have a book to read & review. So, onward to work!
  14. @michaeldthomas Hugs, sent you guys' way. I'm sorry.
  15. @michaeldthomas These things happen. (Sigh.) Thanks!
  16. Hello, immediate care, my old friend. (Doc had no openings til tuesday.) And me wearing a sweater in June, no less.
