I'm in Seattle on our yearly trip to visit family (and given the heat wave hammering the rest of the U.S. including NYC, I'm grateful!), but this time around I'm also going to be doing some work--readings, panel appearances and writing workshops at Westercon, which just so happens to be in...

Sometimes I feel so left out of the loop when people talk about a new book they are reading. It's not that I don't read, but I just don't read as much as I'd like or as much as I used to. The reason being is that I'm a writer working on a memoir while I have a novel on hold. I'm also a...
