The Plot Bunny Farm

I'm really behind; should have blogged this a month ago! However, if you're in the Seattle area and are looking for something to do this weekend (text stolen shamelessly from ericreynolds:

Ruins Terra author Lancer Kind has arranged book signing/reading events for the Hadley Rille Books Ruins anthologies in the Seattle area for May 1st and 2nd.

camillealexa will sign copies and read from Ruins Metropolis.
saycestsay might be there as well.

Last night, got home to a message on the answering machine from my mom. She'd gone to Sundance Bookstore in Reno (don't know if she actually went to the signing) and picked up the new Hadley Rille books. (She bought all three of the new ones: Desolate Places, which I have no story in; Ruins Metropolis, which has my story "By the Pool of the Blue Lotus"; and Barren Worlds, which contains my story "Winterset.")

"I read your stories. You know I don't usually read science fiction and fantasy. They were . . . different."

My older brother's visiting her, and all of us kids (yeah, I still call us that) read SF/F, so maybe he'll have a less ambivalent review.

I much prefer 6-y-o's comments. Six-year-old wants to grow up to be a writer, and since I'm a good writer, figures I can help 6-y-o become a good writer, too.
