Stacy Well, nonscientific in that I am not going to even Google anything about the science on this (yet).

I keep meaning to review a few things I’ve been watching/reading lately. I have actually been allowing myself to reread a few favorites, which I haven’t in the past few years because I want to spend that time reading new stuff (and not-so-new) in my towering TBR pile.

“Nerd girls are the most underutilized romantic resource.” Indeed. In-deed.
I just hired an intern. Or “hired,” more like–she’s just doing this for the experience. But it’ll be great to have a little help every week with organization and reader reports. Also, my reading backlog is slowly clearing out this week and next–if I have something from you to consider for Tor, you should either … Read more
Cynthia Leitich Smith’s interview of me is up over at her LJ (and all the various mirrors of it). Thanks to Cynthia for the chance to tell her all about what I’m up to lately. Go check it out, and then if you don’t read her regularly, browse around. She interviews a lot of interesting … Read more
