The
interwebs has turned my heart into a Ping-Pong ball this past week…
Unless
you’ve been living under a rock, you know that David Bowie has left this world,
just a few short days after the release of his latest album, Blackstar. 69 is much
too young. He was supposed to live forever. As a child of the 80s who adored
him in The Labyrinth, and so much after
that, I was very sad to hear the news. I drowned myself in all the tributes,
getting weepy eyed and nostalgic. Here are a few of my favorites (including one
for the most spectacular paper dolls ever).
On to less melancholy
things… I just read the latest issue of the Jem and the Holograms comics by
Kelly Thompson, and it’s amazing! It actually takes place just before the
Christmas special that was released out of order, so if you haven’t read that
one yet, grab #10 first. And if you haven’t begun the series yet, you can get
the first one for FREE on Kindle here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZAKFU32
Also (excited SQUEEE!) this
podcast interview with Shawnee Kilgore and Joss Whedon about writing music
together and their inspiration (Shawnee’s mentions include Ani DiFranco,
another SQUEE!) is pretty fantastic and you should check it out: http://kutx.org/this-song/shawnee-kilgore-joss-whedon-daisy-oconnor
More fun things coming up
soonish:
Off the Beaten Path 2 will be release by Prospective Press on Feb. 2. Yay!!! It
features The Coal Miner’s Demon, a
short story that I wrote. It’s not set in the Lanaverse, but I had so much fun with
it! It’s dark and gritty and has demons! (Which you may have gathered from the
title.)
The World of Lana Harvey,
Reapers Inc. chapter for the D6xD6 RPG created
by writer and award-winning game designer Lester Smith, is slated for
a March release. Woot! If you’re a gamer who’d love to visit Limbo City, you’re
in luck. I’ll be posting links all over the place on release day, but until
then, here’s a link to the D6xD6 core book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/D6xD6-Role-Playing-Game-Core-RPG/dp/1505680530
That’s all for now. I
better get back to Ghost Market.
These books don’t write themselves!

YAY! Long week here too! I will have to grab Off the Beaten Path 2....maybe as a read for our trip south. Sadly not to Missouri to see my fav author. #lanaandbub
ReplyDeleteAwwww! ♥ Hope you have a great trip, even if it isn't to see me. ;)
DeleteI just realized this week that David Bowie was the age of my mom and Mick Jagger is the age of my father. How did THAT happen? You are a super busy girl! Keep up the good work! I finally downloaded the Jem comic. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAlan Rickman was 69 too. :( What is going on in the world?!? Hope you enjoy the Jem comic! I think they rock! :)
