I had a great time tonight at Borderlands in San Francisco. The new cafe next door to the book store is a great addition. I enjoyed a latte there, and then had a very nice evening with a very receptive audience.  My thanks to all.

On a sad note, I was very sorry that Ripley, the book store cat, is no more. They still have one cat in residence, and quite a lively one, but I recall Ripley fondly from my last visit. Book store...

This seems to be a recurring question in the comments so I will answer it here.

The Rain Wilds Chronicles was written as a single manuscript, and then divided into two volumes for publication.  Dragon Keeper and Dragon Haven are those two books.

My next published book will be a collection of stories featuring shorter works by both Robin Hobb and Megan Lindholm.

The untitled book I am working on now picks up the tale of the Tarman ...

I had a wonderful time tonight at Books Inc in Mountain View. There was a great audience with lots of good questions after my readings, and the staff of the bookstore treated me very well indeed! I departed with not only fond memories, but chocolate, a bookbag and moleskine notebook! In addition, one of my listeners was Kelly from Kellymorgen.com, a a jeweler. She presented me with an amazing silver and lapis dragon pendant! Thank you so much,Kelly. It's a memento I will treasure.

And actually, that's true!  Well, I'll be back in San Francisco rather r than in Oakland, where I was born, but it's pretty darn close!

And did I leave my heart in San Franciso? Well, let's say that some of my best childhood memories are of that city by the bay.

I'll be looking forward to making some new memories this week.  Ihope to see lots of readers!

First stop:  Books Inc on Wednesday.  Then Borderlands  on Thursday.  And...

Hope to see some of you there. Wish me luck!

That's what my most recent post is about over at Babel Clash.

I've been conversing quite a bit there lately, and as a result, I've been a bit neglectful here.  Part of my technique for getting my own writing done every day is to put a limit on how much time I can spend on line. So, sad to say, posts over there mean fewer posts here!

So, rather than repeat myself, I'll send you over to Babel Clash and invite everyone to join in t...

Sara Creasy and I have been a number of aspects of writing and the writing life over at Babel Clash. Which is why, of course, you haven't seen many new posts here this week.

Please drop by: http://bordersblog.com/scifi/

And you might want to scroll down and look at some of the posts from other writers. Lots to ponder there.
