That image is a blueberry.<\/p>\n

Actually, it’s one blueberry among many — I was washing them one day to make muffins, and the waterdrops rested on them just so. I nabbed my camera, and there we are. An otherworldly shot — as if looking upon a bubbled dome sitting upon an alien hillock somewhere. Nobody says “hillock” anymore but fuck it, it’s an alien planet. We can go with “hillock” if we want.<\/p>\n

Let’s see, what else is going on?<\/p>\n

I forgot a flash fiction challenge Friday (well, I was traveling Friday and accessing my blog remotely is not always ideal in terms of inputting new content). Sorry! Eek.<\/p>\n

I’ll be in Doylestown, PA this Tuesday at Doylestown Books to chat with Paul Tremblay<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, whose astonishing (and disturbing!) Disappearance at Devil’s Rock<\/strong> comes out.<\/p>\n

This week is the launch of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/strong> comics adaptation, by Luke Ross (art) and myself. So go look for that. Or BB-8 will electrocute you.<\/p>\n

Tor-dot-com did a post about where to start with my novels<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, if you’re so inclined. (The comments, perhaps predictably, spend time yelling about Aftermath? I shouldn’t be surprised any more, I guess.)<\/p>\n

The Orlando Book Festival was a blast — a great festival with wonderful fans and run by killer staff at a beautiful library. It’s also nice to see that it’s a city that stands tall in the face of tragedy and supports its LGBT citizens. (I’m sure there are gnarlier politics at work, but at least from a cursory visit, the streets and businesses were alive with support and love.)<\/p>\n

THAT IS ALL.<\/p>\n

Now go forth and slay Monday. Bring me its head. So I can take macro photos of it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
