Halloween at work

Stacy | October 31, 2006

Halloween could be said to be the most anticipated day of the year for employees here. Many people dress up, and there’s a company party. Today R.A. Salvatore dropped in and signed some books. But the highlight of the day, I think, was that three guys dressed up as Vanilla Ice and the V.I.P. Posse. [...]

World Fantasy

Stacy | October 26, 2006

For those going to this, keep an eye out for Tiffany Trent (tltrent), the author of In the Serpent’s Coils, the first volume of Hallowmere. She’ll be reading from Serpents Coils and will be joined by a couple other YA authors. More info at her LJ.
It’ll be Saturday, 11/4, and she’ll be joined by fellow [...]

Costume coda

Stacy | October 24, 2006

Just for fun, I thought I’d share. Me, as Princess Leia:

Yes, that dress is made of my roommate’s curtains, why do you ask? Oh, and I photoshopped in the blaster from another picture from the same night. Someone showed up at the same dance–my long-lost brother!

Notice the Skywalkers are going blonde.

Costume dilemmas

Stacy | October 23, 2006

I’m so torn on what to be for Halloween. Mainly because what I’d really like to be is some fairy tale or fantasy character, and I don’t really have any money to buy a cool costume–because of course I’d want it to look like an SCA costume, not the cheapo thing you can buy at [...]

Slush day

Stacy | October 20, 2006

I try to set one day a week aside as the day to go through submissions, though usually that gets superceded by a pressing deadline. But today I set deadlines aside because the slush pile was collapsing from its own weight, and I’m glad I did.
Rarely do I find submissions that make me giggle. At [...]

Practical Guide to Dragons fun stuff

Stacy | October 18, 2006

I was just browsing our newly designed website, and what do I see?
No, not popcorn popping on the apricot tree. [/Mormon joke ]
All sorts of cool stuff for the Practical Guide. A fun sample of the book here that lets you find out all sorts of stuff about red dragons, and then from that [...]

Two things

Stacy | October 17, 2006

One, the Class of 2k7 website is nice, new, and pretty. Don’t know what the Class of 2k7 is? It’s a group of authors whose debut novels will be coming out next year, and they’re banding together to cross-promote and do local appearances together. Tiffany Trent, author of In the Serpent’s Coils, is a member [...]

Go forth and read!

Stacy | October 16, 2006

This is Teen Read Week as you’ll know if you read the LJs and blogs on my friends’ lists. I point you to those because many of them have great suggestions for things to do this week to celebrate. cedarlibrarian, for example, has a list of things like going to your library if only to [...]

Stacy | October 14, 2006

Just got back from a Scott Westerfeld signing at a library in Bellevue. Was able to get my copy of Midnighters signed (the first book of the series, anyway), and bought my own copy of Uglies to get signed. I’d checked it out from the library back when I was raving about it. Also had [...]

Buried treasure

Stacy | October 12, 2006

My office at home is a mess. Well, actually, it looked great, but that’s because the boxes I have yet to unpack from moving to Seattle from Boston a year and a half ago are stacked so neatly. The boxes are filled with all sorts of goodies, like bills from Boston that I paid two [...]
