Couldn’t make it to Balticon to catch the unveiling of the first two chapter’s of Antigone’s Wrath? Is the audio just not enough?
Well now, courtesy of Steph and JP Harvey, you can live (or re-live!) the experience with the full video recording of the reading.
Alas, the amazing Paulette Jaxton could not be captured in the frame, but everyone else’s lovely mugs are there for you to see!
Enjoy!

Where do I even start to talk about this? Not only had I never done a live reading before this moment, but I was unveiling the beginning of a brand spankin’ new project that only a few folks have seen.
Was I nervous? You bet.

As posted at The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences…
The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences has many forgotten stories in its Archives. Stories of madcap adventures in all corners of the Empire, dark doings in hidden places, and mysterious devices and artifacts that the everyday citizen should never become aware of for fear it would quite undo their minds.
Archivist to the Ministry, Wellington Thornhill Books and Eliza D Braun (recently and unwillingly reassigned to the Archives) have selected some cases they feel the public is ready for.

This just in! The Tales From the Ministry podcast is due to start March 8th! I’ll be syndicating my story at the very least, but you can subscribe to the whole podcast directly once it hits iTunes, or from here when it’s live. As you know, I’ve provided one of the stories in this podcast anthology, but from the looks of it, you won’t hear it until towards the end of the anthology. They wanted to save the best for almost-last, you know. ;)
More bloggy stuff as it happens! You guys are really going to dig this thing Tee and Pip have created. I’m super excited to help unleash it on the world!

What a weekend! I can’t believe it’s already over. It’s hard to decide where to start this post.
So, bad news first.
The Dreamer’s Thread didn’t win a Parsec Award.
No worries, though. All that saying “I’m really just ecstatic to be a Finalist” turned out to be, well, true. Not a tear was shed. Competition was tough. To be ranked among those folks was amazing for me. The ceremony was fun, also. It was great to cheer on friends as their categories were announced.
