5 things for Tuesday

britmandelo discusses The Bone Key lovingly and with sharp acumen at Tor.com.

The evil that grape vines do lives after them.

My life will be a lot easier this summer if I can teach myself not to walk into the Anthropophagous Rosebush.

---

I need to start writing again. I just wish my brain wasn't so damn empty.

I have a schedule for OddCon:

Friday, April 16, 4:30P.M.: Novel Writing Q&A (come grill an author!)
Saturday, April 17, 10:00 A.M.: Baseball, Fantasy, and SF (self-explanatory, which is probably good at ten in the morning)
Sunday, April 18, 11:30 A.M. But I wouldn't want to live there! (dystopian fiction panel)
Sunday, April 18, 1:00 P.M. Nonhuman & Other Human Protagonists (how to make aliens more than human beings in monster suits)

Addenda: (1) Unless I am about to be late to a panel (or, you know, obviously really busy just then), I am always happy to sign books.
(2) I am very shy and very near-sighted. But that doesn't mean I won't be delighted to talk to you!

The evil that grape vines do lives after them.

I wouldn't know because I never manage to eliminate them. What comes after is the stuff of dreams.

Oh, I'm perfectly sure I haven't eliminated the fuckers. This is the dead grapevine that I cannot get out of one of the trees in the backyard.

Thank you!

Argh!

Fixed. Thank you!

Better hope the rosebush doesn't hear about the "grill an author" invitation. It might misunderstand.

Please tell all of OddCon I love them very much and miss them terribly. And see if that bartender is still in the hotel bar, and ask him if he remembers how to make a Janet Leigh, aka, a Villainess. All I remember is, it was pink. And delicious.
