An LA snippet
On Day one of the pre-convention tour, one of the places we went was the Hollywood Forever Cemetery where Rudolph Valentino is buried. Keri and I didn't find his grave but we did find a few others including: Johnny Ramone: Cecil B. DeMille Mel Blanc The cemetery is...
30 Day Song Challenge Day 2
Hopefully there will be an RT post soon but while head is cold riddled, these are short and easier! Day 2 - Least favourite song Hmmmm, tricky. And I refuse, on principle, to link to videos of songs I dislike. I'm not sure I have an absolute least favourite, but...
A challenge
Over on Facebook, someone invented the 30 Day SongChallenge...so I'm jumping in (following the lovely Keziah's example). I did the first one on Facebook but Nicky brilliantly pointed out that doing it on the blog would make it easier to look back on, so am taking her...
Back!
Got back yesterday after a relatively uneventful flight (slept a reasonable amount, less bumpy than the trip over). Given my brain still feels mostly like this: I shall attempt the more coherent trip wrap up blog in a day or so. And my Aussie Author Month...

March contest winner
The winner of Witches Abroad by Terry Pratchett is Kim Perry! Kim, email me (email details are on the website) and we'll organise your prize (I am travelling the next few weeks so may take a little while to get back to you).
On the way
Last post for the month. Not sure where that went. In two days I head off to RT with Keri. Tomorrow's post will be the April contest and then blogging will be as I can (depending on whether internet is a reasonable price in the hotel and/or proximity of wireless)....
Saddened
One of my personal writing heroes/goddesses passed away last night after a long illness. Vale Diana Wynne Jones. Thank you for your stories. Dogsbody and Charmed Life are two spec fiction books I remember reading when I was quite young (I suspect around 8). I don't...
Yay!
Huge congrats to the lovely Kelly Hunter and Marion Lennox for their RITA ® finals. Two excellent people and equally excellent writers! If you love great romance, check them out! Congrats to all the other RITA and GH finalists. Especially the Golden Heart gals...it's...
