One (weeping) I'm going to be dropping Gudrun off at the airport in Boston this afternoon. She's off to Scotland for two weeks to visit with her brand new niece, Georgia. That means I'm the dad with two kids for a while...

LOL...Good Luck! You'll be fine. It's very obivous that you are a very loving and devoted dad! Have lots of fun and quality time. The kids will remember the 2 weeks of fun they had with dad when they grow up.

Jacqueline, thanks. Yeah, I know we'll be fine. I do have a daunting "to do" list for the next two weeks, but Gudrun left me plenty of instructions! Tonight, we'll be watching "Up!", which I just bought as a surprise for the kids. See - treats!

Jamie, but I thought she was coming over to look after you lot! Hey, enjoy her. She's been so excited about coming over. Congratulations on Georgia. I can't wait to meet her next summer!

I just put up a new post at Babel Clash, about genre hopping this time. It's HERE if you're interested.Posting it reminds me to mention that my reading with Jeff VanderMeer and Paul G. Tremblay is coming up. It's this Friday in Boston...

I've been a George Pelecanos fan for a few years now. After reading exclusively "literary" fiction as a graduate student, it was reading crime novels that first reintroduced me to the genres...

Just a small note as I exhale...Today, I delivered my three part story about my character, Infamous Black Tongue, to George RR Martin and Melinda Snodgrass for the upcoming Wild Cards novel, Fort Freak...
David Anthony Durham
Just wanted to mention that some of my blogging this week is happening over at Babel Clash, the Borders Scifi blog. I'm a guest for the next week or so, along with Jeff VanderMeer, Paul Tremblay and Annalee Newitz...

Interesting article in the Guardian. It's about book selling in Britain. There are, of course, a lot of parallels to the US industry. This is particularly interesting for me as I have fond memories of Waterstones...

I just got my first invite to Boskone, the regional sci-fi conference based in Boston. I've never been, but I'd been thinking I was going to go, especially since I'm now based in Massachusetts. So the invitation is very welcome. I'm thinking I'll be there...
David Anthony Durham
I had one. I've been writing, folks, working on Book Three. I've a long, long way to go still. I mean a long way to go. But that's not anything I haven't budgeted for. I'm still planning on delivering this one with about the same gap as I had between books 1 and 2...

Yup. Sometimes talking out loud and letting the back brain work is all you need.

Amazon.com just released it's editor's choices of the top books of the year. (Credit goes to io9 for alerting me to this.) Within that, they have a list featuring their top SFF books. Guess who's on it?Well... Ah... Cherie Priest...

Congrats, DAD! I finished TOL over the weekend and my immediate response to the ending made my tween girlchild proud: "OMG!!! Oh NO she DID NOT just do that!!!"

Now I'm half-wishing I had waited to read TOL. I hate waiting. Thanks for sharing your recent "Revelation". I wish you continued success and enjoyment of the creative process.

Charmell,

That's great to hear. And yes she did!

My kids have gone mad. They've turned into glazed-eyed zombies. They've shut out the physical world and ventured into a realm in which shouts, prods, invitations to dine and threats of punishment cannot reach them. What's caused this?Rick Riordan and his creation Percy Jackson. They're the culprits...

That's so cool! My husband and I read the Percy Jackson series about 6 months ago (even though we're both 30 and don't have any kids...). They're good stuff. I've been on a YA kick lately, but my all time favorite YA books are Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness series.

I'll keep the Pierce books in mind. They might need something new very soon!

Yes, it's finally there. The Other Lands is now downloadable at Audible.com! I'm very happy about this, as it seems like a lot of the folks that enjoyed The War With The Mein did so by listening to Dick Hill's narration...

I was supposed to be cutting down on the teaching. More time spent writing, getting Book 3 done, Jedi-Knight training, stuff like that. Leaving the tenure track has helped that a bit, but then again... I've continued to teach at the Stonecoast MFA Program. (What can I say...
