Day: August 16, 2009

This will be my third year at the Burning Man festival. I’ll be running around all over the place, but I’ll also be DJing the following:

—Tuesday, Sept. 2 – The Duck Pond (9:00 & Plaza) – 5 – 7 PM
—Friday, Sept. 5 – Nautilus X Art Car (mobile) – 9 PM – Sunrise

I will try to record the gigs (conditions out there are harsh, and recording can be an iffy proposition), and I always take a ton of pix and vids for my Picasa album.

Mignon Fogarty (better known as Grammar Girl) conducted an hour-long interview with me for her “Behind the Grammar” podcast. We talked about my upcoming books and the ways podcasting has influenced how I’ve tried to use new media to make the expeience of the books more inclusive and connective for readers, and about the state of intellectual property in the 21st Century. The interview will be out in a few months. I’ll link to it on my website’s News page, but meantime I highly recommend “Behind the Grammar” for anyone interested in books, publishing, and new media.

Things are starting to heat up as publication time approaches, and I’m sure I’ll have even more news to report beginning in September. The buzz surrounding ELEGY BEACH is a bit startling to me (at ComiCon the excitement from buyers for some of the major booksellers totally freaked me out). ‘ll post a report about the World Science Fiction Convention in Montreal as soon as I’m able to. Right now I need to dial in this WordPress installation. 🙂

Meantime, thank you so much for reading, and for your support!

I have some gorgeous bookmarks and 4 x 6 doublesided flyers for ARIEL & ELEGY BEACH. Email me and I’ll let you know where you can send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to get some mailed to you.
