A new review and...

Foresthouse, who received a copy of INFERNO for review a few weeks ago, has posted a very nice piece here:
Walking on the Edge

I'm sitting in my room at 11:05 pm CT with the wind absolutely howling outside. Mary Robinette Kowal, my roomie for the night is writing a story. We're both occasionally breaking out into amazed giggles at the incredible sound.

I've had a great time at the convention, some great meals and saw a lot of friends. Unfortunately, I ran into several people I had no idea were attending and didn't have time to hang out with them.

I won an original oil by Terri Windling at the Tiptree Auction last night. Today Ysabeau Wilce and I (my roomie till today) went to an antique mall. And I had a steak dinner in the hotel restaurant with Jeremy Lassen (Nightshade) tonight--I wanted one more steak before returning to NYC where I can't afford steak in restaurants.

I've got my cheese curds and a lovely very hard bread I got at the market yesterday--I guess I'll chomp them on the plane home tomorrow.

Glad to be returning home. Back tomorrow night.

Hooray for a wonderful con. Did you find any treasures at the antique mall?

Ahaha. You won the Terri Windling oil!

It was so nice to see you. The wind outside is indeed fierce here.

Congrats with winning the oil. And the steak!

Have a safe trip and glad to hear you're enjoying yourself.

Yum, cheese curds! They're always one of my favorite perks of going to Wiscon!

I won the Rosie O'Donnell doll!

Writers are coming over to my journal in droves now! *looks around wildly*

Well, ok, ok, maybe only *two* writers, but I'm glad some of the authors in the anthology are enjoying the review. :)

Also, now that you've mentioned cheese curds, I am reminded of the four (FOUR!) types of cheese sitting in my fridge right now. I might have to go snack. (I should never be let loose in a grocery store around cheese, you know. It's hazardous to my wallet. Speaking of which, I'm still trying to find my recipe card for the Brie dish - it must be in one of my 12 cookbooks!)

Ellen, you had the coolest roomie at the con!

MRK is a living holy entity.

hmmm.... steak. My chicken was pretty good too. Thanks for a lovely dinner.

Cheese curd...

...is really wonderful, and squeaky. I remember the first time I ever had cheese curd, and it was a pretty great memory to associate with the experience so I doubt I will ever forget it.
