Hmmm. August is zooming along here too, so what's up is more about EGAD IT'S COMING CLOSER than anything else.
That said, there are a couple of noteworthies:

I'll be announcing a few more events soon, most concerning the release of A Play of Shadow. First, and for those in Ottawa, I will be at CAN-CON Oct 3-5th. Wouldn't miss it!

PLAY has gone to press as I type this. There will be real books by mid-September, though those will head off to reviewers. Always an exciting time. I do hope there's a giveaway in here. Will keep you posted.

I've gathered materials for the two mailings that go out shortly. The first is to the "Biogeeks" who have contacted me and whose names are in Species Imperative. They'll be getting bookplates and bookmarks. The second, and larger, is to all the rest who've requested signed bookmarks from me. We've some lovely new ones ready to go.

Though the very best? Will be handed out at these launches for PLAY: Toronto, World Fantasy, and Ottawa. There aren't many, so be first in line!

Otherwise? Working away on a short story, then it's time for nothing but Sira, Morgan, Huido, Barac, Bowman...oh my!
