Hi, Justine. Hope you’re less mucosy by now. I went to the Daughters of Earth page (great cover, indeed) because I had never asked you about the table of contents, either. What a nice line-up. I don’t know the early stories (not many will), but the later ones are a lot of favorites. In fact, the Tiptree is my personal favorite of hers (I guess because it was the first of them that made me really sit up and take notice); I remember the Zoline when it came out (it made me buy her short story collection); and I was considering the Gwyneth Jones for last year’s Tiptree Award Anthology. Looking forward to the book!

Holy cats! Talk about Apologies & Updates — I had no idea you were going to be in the area. I hoped for a book tour, but expected something to show up on the surface of the blog. That’ll teach me (maybe) to monitor “Appearances” links more closely.

It was smashing to hang out with you both – I am sorry you were ill and I was headachey, but still I was happy with good turnout, good soup and good conversation.

Also, you are very lucky to have left when you did. There was an ice storm here last night! An ICE STORM! I never thought I’d see the day, &c.

Oh poor justine! Hey, I will be in San Fran this weekend. If you are not dying of plague and have an inch of free time, drop me an email!

It was great to see you, and so far none of us has developed the plague. (I don’t know if you noticed or cared, but I did keep Alice well out of sneeze range.)

This is the first time I’ve seen so much as the list of stories for Daughters of Earth, and it looks fantastic — I’ve never heard of any of the early stories, and among the later picks are some non-obvious but excellent choices. I am really looking forward to the book!

Feel better.

I do hope you’re feeling better soon, but don’t worry, I’m sure everyone loved you in spite of the mucus. Can’t wait to see you!

sorry to hear about the illness-while-on-world-tour! hope you will feel better soon.

i was hoping amazon would start sending out magic lessons early, but no luck yet. oh well, gives me time to reread magic or madness.
