I’ve been in a horrible funk all week and tonight was feeling especially bad. Tim is out on a gig, playing with a jazz group downtown, so kinda bored, I dialed up ye olde google reader to flip through my blog subscriptions and catch up on my reading. That’s when I saw Ann Aguirre’s reminder that she was having an online chat tonight for her readers. Looking at the clock, I saw I’d missed it by an hour but visited the link anyway on the off-chance that things had run over and they had!

So I got the pleasure of spending an hour and a half totally geeking out over scifi books and shows with Ann, Michelle, and Has. It was great talking with other folks who love those things as much as I do (kinda helps me feel like I’m not totally alone in my nerdiness! haha).

I loved Grimspace so much that I tore through it, finished it the same day and then picked it back up the next morning and read it all over again (gotta love a three day weekend! haha). So it was especially interesting to hear how she envisions her characters (Claudia Black as Jax and David Boreanzas as March) and to hear about the process of fighting to get published- with the bottom line being: Never. Give. Up. :)

I cannot wait until the new projects she’s finished up come through the publisher!! So, C’MON! hurry up Penguin!! stop the torture and publish us some more Aguirre and oh yeah… bring us some chicken wings… extra spice-eh…
