With over a dozen short stories in various anthologies, she's even published on the moon! Raven spent most of her K-12 education doodling and writing 500 page monstrosities that are forever locked away in a filing cabinet.

Besides being a writer and artist, she’s a geeky, disabled ENBY who enjoys getting her game on with tabletop games, indulging in cartography and art, or staring at the ocean. She lives in the Seattle area with her partner, and their three kitt

Connectivity

Lately, I can’t help but be contemplative about connectivity in a world hell-bent on not connecting…

I am old enough to have been a child back when GEnie was getting started back in 1985 as an alternative to CompuServe. Basically dial-up connections to BBS’s, games, and chat rooms way, way back. It was back on GEnie that I first discovered the Science Fiction Roundtable, often thought of as a sort

Making Connections: 3559. AMASKAN'S BLOOD by Raven Oak 8 61 Mar 19, 2015 07:56AM  
Andrew  Boyd
“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”
Andrew Boyd, Daily Afflictions: The Agony of Being Connected to Everything in the Universe

Somehow I totally missed this question! Eek!
Writing is going well! Amaskan's Blood is coming out in January and I've got a sci-fi novel coming out in the summer of 2015. How about you?
Are you talking about the ECWC or Emerald City Comicon?
