Tuesday Musings

So, first of all, my interview with Cynthia Leitich Smith is up over at Cynsations. And I have to take a moment to fangirl squee because this is like coming full circle for me. I read Cynsations when I was doing my market research and to excitedly peruse the successful stories to publication, and now I'M on there. I was so thrilled when she blurbed LAMENT and then when she asked for an interivew, I just died. Yes, I have been undead for years.

In other news, I'm getting acquainted with my new editor at Flux, Brian Farrey. Andrew Karre handed over the reins of the imprint to him on October 1st, and Brian has inherited all his crazy stable of authors, myself included.

I've not actually met Brian in real life, or seen a photo, or spoken with him on the phone, which possibly explains why now, every time I get an e-mail from him, I associate him strongly with Brian the dog from Family Guy. I just see "Brian Farrey" and automatically, I hear Brian the dog voice over for the contents of the e-mail. And they . . . kinda talk the same way. Sorry, editor Brian. If it makes you feel any better, Brian on Family Guy is the brains of the operation.

This is how I picture my budding relationship with editor Brian. I'm of course Stewie in the picture at right (how could it be anything but that way? Evil genius in need of medication? Hellooooo . . . )

In other news, I'm so behind on following up on comments on the blog. Thanks everyone for commenting and I'm going to try to attack that with my slow dial up later today.
