Kate asked me to fill in for her today because she is having one of those weeks at work where she is never quite sure when she will get home or what state her brain will be in when she does. So, I get the pleasure of letting everyone know that ConSensual, the second book... Continue Reading →
It's time for your friendly neighborhood pusher of books to come out to tempt you with snippets of the recently published or soon to be published. Enjoy! # # # # Darkship Renegades Sarah A. Hoyt Baen – December 2012 Out of the Frying Pan I was a princess from Earth and he was a... Continue Reading →
I hope everyone's having a great weekend. Since Sarah has finished her workshop and we don't have another in the queue yet, I thought this was the perfect time for some promotion for the MGCers and then we'll throw the floor open to comments and workshop suggestions. So, let's get on with the promos! Dave's... Continue Reading →
A strange looking raccoon wearing a kilt and matching tartan jester hat saunters in and draws back a curtain showing a female writer working feverishly at a laptop, sweat flying off of her in an almost cartoonish fashion.

In the tradition of very small presses, ConVent has gone from being released Real Soon Now to being released Any Time Now. Needless to say I'm excited. And I have a cover! Multitalented multifarious Sarah Hoyt has graciously provided cover art that captures the multifold complex layering of this unique literary tour-de-farce. Oops. Did I... Continue Reading →
It's off to Capclave tomorrow, with the usual levels of nervous (no, it's not "performance anxiety"). Like most author types I'm terminally shy and would much rather hide in a corner. So I put on my warpaint and my not-exactly-demon-wear (I have some taste. Demons have none) and present a false front to the world... Continue Reading →
by Kate Paulk So, I wrapped up the first draft of ConSensual today. It's the sequel to ConVent - which is one first, as this is the first time I've written a novel as a sequel. It's also going to need rather more editing than many of my drafts, partly because I wrote the first... Continue Reading →
Kate Paulk Life is weird. I'm not sure which Heinlein book contains the comment that life is not only stranger than we imagine, it's stranger than we can imagine, but whichever one it was didn't intersect with my version of reality. I sympathize with whoever decided that "may you live in interesting times" had to... Continue Reading →
