Gentle Reader, I am most excited to report that I’m a Locus Awards Finalist! Ooooo! In less exciting news, I’ve updated my website’s Alexia’s London page with DVD extras from Changeless, now that the book has been out for a month or so. This includes my sketch of The Parasol, one section of description, and […]

SF in SF with Blake Charlton
Saturday night Blake and I trundled ourselves into San Francisco for the The SF in SF experience. No photographs have surfaced yet, and I forgot to pass out my camera, so I will instead detail what I wore. That’s the most exciting part of any evening out, anyway. Isn’t it? So we arrived and schmoozed […]

First Time Gail Saw Soulless in Stores
I was reminded recently of a little story, Gentle Reader, of when a certain debut Authorbeast first saw her book on a Real Live Bookshelf and the hilarity that ensued. Read on, Gentle Reader, read on. (Originally this was a guest blog for The Unincorporated Man.) The First Time I Saw My Book In A […]

Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition Wrap Up
Totally exhausted, Gentle Reader, from a lovely but crazy four days at the Nova Albion Steampunk Exhibition. I enjoyed myself, but it may take me the rest of the week to recover. I may just do two blogs this week as a result. Miss Kalendar has a con recap up on her Brass Needles podcast, […]

I Should Be Writing, Unpacking, Sleeping . . .
My darling Gentle Reader, I am full of news and blog posts and things. I am sorry I have been away so long. Firstly I am delighted, honored, and all around chuffed to have made an appearance on Mur Lafferty’s I Should Be Writing Podcast. This podcast was one of the very first I discovered, […]

Soulless West Marin Reading
Today’s blog, Gentle Reader, is a bit of a housekeeping jaunt. I neglected to put up pictures from my reading out in West Marin from about two months ago. So here are a few from that event. Thanks to all who came and all who asked questions and took pictures. 1. Before the reading at […]

SOULLESS BOOK LAUNCH PARTY!
The Great & Fateful Soulless Book Launch Party . . . Massive party of doom! Spent the morning prepping deserts, heating savory puff pastry, last minute shopping, and picking flowers with my mamma. Marshaled the first wave of troops at 3 PM, packed car and headed over to hotel in caravan of three cars (for […]

Returned from the Wilds of Cleveland
The thing I always forget about the Midwest (and, yes, Gentle Reader, I do think of Ohio as the Midwest) is how incredibly nice everyone is. Old fashioned politeness to strangers still holds fast in that part of the world and I miss that. I had a lovely time at the GLiBA Tradeshow, particularly hanging […]

GLiBA Tradeshow in Cleveland & Making History or Rewriting It?
It’s Soulless’s second day on sale and no, I haven’t looked at my Amazon ranking since the online launch. I hear from other authors that therein lies madness. I’m in Cleveland at the moment at the GLIBA Tradeshow. This is my old stomping grounds from undergraduate school so it’s a tad surreal to come back […]

The Great & Fateful Book Launch: Soulless Out In the World At Last!
Happy Bookday to me! Soulless is officially on the shelves TODAY. At this point I have no idea what this means, as the book has been on shelves for over a week in some shops. However, please go buy it, costs about the same as a Starbucks’s latte and lasts longer. Meanwhile, Gentle Reader, I’m […]

The Great and Fateful Book Launch: Soulless
So, my book Soulless is due on the shelves in 6 days, Amazon ships in 4 (there is a kindle edition), and a few brick & mortars around the world have already pipped the post! I’m hoping to tap into my friends for a little assistance launching my chosen career. Remember, I’ll never be asking […]

Podcasting Chapter 1 of Soulless
So I’m a podcast fan, Gentle Reader. You may have garnered as much from reading the “music” line on this blog, or from my general comments and posts regarding podcasts, or from my array of podcasting-inclined Facebook and twitter friends. The addiction is, as so many things are, my parent’s fault. I grew up without […]
