Suddenly, it’s busy

Well, it looks like May is going to be some busier than originally anticipated, and it was already busier than April, what with the trip to Oasis at the end of it.

But!  It turns out that Steve and I have a speaking gig on Monday, May 10 — that’s next Monday — to talk about science fiction in general, our books in particular and writing as a career, run away!

The next Tuesday, while Steve does his duty as a Trustee of the Winslow Public Library, I’ll be at the Fairfield Library, talking about how a novel goes from Crazy Idea to an Actual, I-can-hold-it-in-my-hand Book.

The Tuesday after that, Steve will pick me up from work at the end of the day and we’ll get on the way to Florida, while the cats have their good friend Mary over to keep them company.

Mouse and Dragon and The Dragon Variation will hit the street while we’re in Florida, unless they ship early, which is certainly possible.  Unless, yanno, they sell out before they leave the warehouse.  Work on that for me, willya?

Just a week after we come back from Florida, we’ll be leaving Maine again, this time for Duckon.

Somewhere between Orlando and Naperville is the Staff Retreat at the day-job, then summer hours go into force.  Not, may I just say, a Moment Too Soon.

Oh, and yeah — we’re supposed to be writing a novel.

Oh!  And Saltation will someday arrive in Maine, so that we can sign, seal and ship them.  That’ll take care of  the latter part of June, I guess.

July seems to be pretty calm at the moment.  August. . .

I’ve got ReConStruction on the calendar, but finances may not support it.  We’ll know better when we get back from Illinois.

August 15, the day-job goes back to full-time, and a week or two after that the professors arrive, Insanity happens, and I won’t be able to hear myself think.

Shuffles through calendar.  A movie deal in July?  Yeah, that’ll fit the schedule. . .

Be prepared for 90 degree weather when you get down to Orlando, by the by.

Just make a quarter turn to the right and it gets cooler? (Sorry, not-yet-awake mathematician here...)

Uhmm...movie deal?

I can hope, right? And it seems a Natural. We need another Huge Distraction from the book that needs writing!

Do you know what you will be doing at Duckon, and when you'll be doing it? I can only make it for 1 of the days, and I'd like to attend the day that I can make the most of the Lee & Miller factor.

Have not yet seen a Duckon schedule. Safest bet -- if you need to take a shot in the dark -- would be Saturday, which is the con's full day.

Amazon UK are telling me expected shipping for Mouse and Dragon is 3-4 June. But being Amazon the actual shipping could be earlier or later...

I can see the first chapter of AoC being the 'leader' and then the opening credits...

Good question! Maybe we ought to start a thread, and make it easier for any Passing Directors to form an offer. Yeah, that's the ticket.

Actually, I think we need two: one for the Passing Directors, and one for us to suggest cast members. I'm kicking that off with Orlando Bloom for Val Con, Viggo Mortensen for Daav and Jodie Foster for Aelliana. I'm still working on Er Thom, Anne and Miri et al, but isn't that what the day job is for?

Have pre-ordered Mouse and Dragon. Am afraid I already own the contents of Dragon Variation in earlier editions. And have too little shelf space as it is, so will not be ordering that one.
