I honestly don't recall if I mentioned here that at 2pm on Saturday, April 2nd, I'll be signing at the amazing horror bookstore in Burbank, CA run by Del and Sue Howison: Dark Delicacies, 3512 W Magnolia Blvd, (818) 556-6660
I'll be signing TEETH: Vampire Tales and whatever else they --or you--want me to. And I'll be signing with the talented Nancy Holder, who will be signing her new novel THE SCREAMING SEASON.
My tentative schedule for Ad Astra--if something changes I'll fix it (I'll be getting the "official official" one tomorrow)
Here's what I'll be doing April 8-10th:
Opening Ceremonies Friday 7pm
Horror in Unexpected Places--Day/Time: Fri 8 pm
Horror can jump out at us from behind works where we may not expect to find it. Panelists present their favourite scary moments from works not traditionally classified as horror.
Panelists: Ellen Datlow, Craig Davidson, Gemma Files, Robert Shearman, Rio Youers
What is Horror? Day/Time: Sat 10 am
How do we define horror? Does horror work differently depending upon the medium, such as film vs. literary fiction? Is horror about more than just frightening or grossing out the audience, and should it be?
Panelists: Ellen Datlow, Don Hutchison, Stephen Jones, Michael Kelly, Rio Youers
Editing Anthologies Day/Time: Sat noon
How do you select materials for an original anthology? How do you make individual works into one cohesive book?
Panelists: Kathryn Cramer, Ellen Datlow, Don Hutchison, Stephen Jones, Caro Soles
Mass Autographing 3:30-5:30 pm Saturday
kaffeeklatch 11am Sunday
GOH Hour 1pm Don Hutchison and Stephen Jones

The flight home was easy and I got in the door before 9pm, which made me and the cats happy.
First, a quote from the forthcoming review in the June Realms of Fantasy (not yet proofed so may be slightly changed)
".....this collection is filled with gems." ......."This collection masterfully conveys the complexity of the concept, with nary a clunker to be found, and is a must-have for any vampire fan out there."
And I received one hardcover copy and one trade copy of the actual finished book! It looks beautiful. There will be at least one reading/event in NYC: at the Jefferson Market Library in June. More info to come.
Plus I received a carton of the bound galleys of Naked City. It looks good too and I'm eager to have them both out.
I may hold some kind of competition for a few of the advance reading copies of NC.
There will be a reading of NC in Cambridge, the evening that Readercon begins.

I know I know. It's a little early and I'll mention it again closer to the time but I and several contributors to Teeth (April 5) will be reading/talking/selling/signing books at the Jefferson Market Library in Greenwich Village Saturday June 11th. If anyone knows how to reach more young adult readers please let me know. I'd love to get a good crowd there.
On Saturday June 11th 3-5 pm the following contributors to Teeth are going to be reading/talking/signing books at the Jefferson Market Library in NYC:
425 Avenue of the Americas
New York, N.Y. 10011-8454

...that is, in addition to suffering the heat of NYC. Today's weather is utterly miserable and by the time I got home from my errands I felt like a pack horse ready to be put out of my misery.
But it's cool in my air-conditioned living room and I'm drinking iced tea and looking at the bound galleys of TEETH: Vampire Tales edited by me and Terri. I also got a cover flat of the corrected cover (the text on the galley is the incorrect text --please note if you see it around) and I'll be taking it to Australia with me to show off--especially to the two contributors there: Garth Nix and Kaaron Warren. I will also be videoing them with my flip for the little marketing video I and HarperCollins is putting together.
Last weekend I went to see Salt and enjoyed it very much. Fast-moving adventure, kick-ass Angeline Jolie as a secret agent--totally preposterous, as is every other superman secret agent from James Bond to Jason Bourne. It's refreshing to see a woman in the role.
Working steadily on the final edits for my two original anthologies that I've got to hand in before I leave for Australia. (and a few final story decisions to make). I thank certain people (you know who you are) for being patient.
Finally, Hip Hip Hooray for Judge Vaughn Walker and his brilliant analysis of why Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.

But first, I'm home and so happy to be here. Of course, I'm going off for the next two weekends to be Guest of Honor at Aggiecon in College Station, TX and then Radcon in Pasco Washington but still. The weather when I returned Friday afternoon was a shock, even though it was cooler than usual down in Florida.
A bit of excitement taking off from West Palm Beach airport. We were on the runway, in the process of speeding up to take off when the plane slowed down and stopped. We were told by the Captain that he'd aborted takeoff because a flock of birds to the right side of the plane (I was on the left) took off and one flew into the nose of the plane. So... just to make sure dead birdie didn't get into the engines, we had to return to the gate for said engines to be checked out. While we waited the Captain said he's come down the aisle to ask questions. He got to me (2/3 of the way back) and I asked what kind of bird it was but he didn't know. I'm guessing egrets or something. After a mere half hour delay we were on our way.

I've been on extremely sludgy dial up since Saturday but right now I'm in the "Clubhouse" while my mom watched a show and can use their free wifi (which will eventually be expanded --though not for free-throughout the whole community). So I'm taking advantage, have updated my laptop programs, and am zipping through everything else.
We've visited my dad at rehab daily and then gone out to eat. He's been doing more rehab lately and working harder (although he still gets tired, pissed off, yells that he doesn't want to do any more and goes off walking away in his wheelchair. Medicaire will only pay as long as he's making progress. We've been trying to get him accepted at a long term nursing facility nearby that the VA will pay for. We thought it was all settled that he'd be going to one of two places while my sister wast still here (before I arrived) but now all's up in the air because there are no spaces available.
My mom got prescriptions for anti-depressants and a sleeping pill but neither will arrive till after I'm gone.
Finished the Best Horror work (as mentioned) and currently going over final line edits for TEETH, a teenage vampire anthology Terri and I edited. I'm delighted rereading the stories we've bought. They really are interesting (not Twilight stuff). We're awaiting our last two promised stories which should be in over the next few weeks. I'll announce the TOC when it's done.
Weather is cool here (for Florida) but loverly for NY so I'm happy --sunny. We no longer stay with my dad 5 hours a day as when he was in the hospital so at least I see daylight now.
Home Friday.
