Where I Want to Be
Wednesday the 21st -- Naomi Novik of Temeraire fame at the UBookstore. SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. And a feathered hat.
Tuesday the 27th -- Ian McDonald and The Dervish House at the UBookstore. I don't know, but his stuff looks interesting.
Thursday the 29th -- Carrie Vaughn of the Kitty werewolf books and the fabulous non-tropey Discord's Apple on her very, very first author tour ever at the UBookstore SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. But no feathered hats.
Honestly, if you aren't reading Novik or Vaughn, you should. They both write short books that are so realistic and dense that you finish them and go, "Did all that really happen in just that small of a book?" And the answer is YES.
They are authors deserving of ALL CAPS.
So, yeah. That's where I want to be. And if my training class had been a week later, I would have been very peevish.
