My newsletter provider isn’t being friendly, so I’m just going to talk to you old school on a blog.
Cleveland ConCoction is coming up this weekend. I have chosen to send my regrets to the programming team in order to be able to focus on getting stories polished up rather than preparing for panels. But it can be a really fun time, if you are going and want to meet up, let me know. I’m trying to get ahead enough on my work in order to attend as a regular fan and hang out with those who want to spend time chatting. Please let me know if you’ll be there and are hoping to spend time together.
Also, what are you reading? What new books or new-to-you books are you really enjoying? I’m looking forward to Marisa Wolf’s BEYOND ENEMIES dropping in audio next week. It’s out now in physical book form and as an ebook, but, arrrgh, I have so little time available to read with my eyes. With an audiobook I can steal minutes here and there while driving kids around or doing dishes or laundry or whatever. Last year I read over a hundred books with my ears and less than twenty with my eyes. I do like holding a book in my hands and having that glorious full focus opportunity to immerse completely, but I love to listen too since that allows me to have so much more story in my day-to-day life.
I look forward to hearing from you. Remember: please let me know if you want to try to meet up at Cleveland ConCoction. You can email me like usual. That part of the system is still working fine.
Until next time,
Joelle Presby
