It never ceases to amaze me how the future is so very far away until it’s not. I felt certain this month would never arrive – that it was a myth I’d invented to keep myself going – and now here it is.

A little business: I have updated the Appearances page yet again. I particularly wish to point out to my friends in Michigan that I am doing TWO public events there, in Ann Arbor and Lansing, and I would love to see any or all of you. It’s been a long time.

Shadow Scale just got a starred review in Quill & Quire (Canada’s publishing trade magazine, like PW or Kirkus in the States), which is wonderful news. I have a very annoying cold, which is less wonderful, but I suppose there’s something to be said for getting it out of the way before the book launch.

Edited to add: Here’s my goofy little video that I made for the Seraphina celebration in Madrid! Wish I could have been there in person!
