It's definitely my favourite thing to read of everything I've written. I'm pleased you're both interested! Rebecca: Here's the dirty secret on appearances---we have to be invited. We can only be part of the Texas Book Festival if we're invited. That's how book signings and reading work as well. People contact us or our publisher and ask if we're available. Isn't Katerate's art wonderful? I'm still dead chuffed! Shelly Rae & Rebecca: I’m thinking about doing a podcast of the first few chapters so that you will both get to hear it.

Wish I could make the reading but there's this darn continent in the way. Cool art there Kate--I think the scrunch face is excellent.

Holly Black, Libba Bray and some other very cool and fine writers will be there that day, too. Thanks for spreading the word about tonight's reading! Isn't Ellen Kushner's writing to die for? Now you have the pleasures of <em>Swordspoint</em> and <em>Return of the Kings</em> (written with the brilliant Delia Sherman) awaiting you. Jessica: Welcome!

School, work. But October is only a month away. And I'll have you know that I was up until 2:30 last night reading I Capture the Castle (which was tactless of me because of getting up for school at 6 am). Justine you are fabulooous.
