I have started a 15 minute rule (after the time something's supposed to start). I figure that's enough time for someone to notice the thing hasn't happened, check their email, and do something about it. (Same deal for 'we're supposed to Zoom/call/whatever and the other person doesn't show.)
I had so much fun with/on that panel. (Could talk about textiles for hours, clearly.) And there were great comments in the chat.
In 90 MINUTES I'll be talking w/ @celialake.bsky.social@house-of-five.bsky.social@patrickburke.bsky.social@thesuiway.bsky.socialflights-of-foundry.org/program-3/
I'm looking forward to Flights of Foundry this weekend! They do their best to host an accessible, varied, online convention about SFFH with great items around the clock. (Donation based, free to suggested $45). flights-of-foundry.org Here's what I'm on. Hour 1 = 1pm EDT today, the 27th.
This is the sort of rules lawyering that personally makes me suspect Ginny.
It saves me so much time and stress. I love that it just works and does what it says. (And I'm with the 'only seen them do a discount once.)
As with all my books, this takes place in Albion, the magical community of Britain. It's a great entry point to the world and to Albion's magic, plots, and high society. The trilogy is full of taking care of each other, siblings, and stones. Book 2 will be out Nov 15th, and book 3 on Dec 15th.
Enchanted Net is out! It's 1889. Thessaly is betrothed to the golden son of one of the great families. Everything should be wonderful. Vitus wants to make his name as a talisman maker. Together, they discover that not everything is as it seems. (HEA in book 3.) celialake.com/book/enchant...
The program for Flights of Foundry is out! I'm on four program items (and moderating a fifth!) It's September 27th to 29th. flights-of-foundry.org Online, requested donation (but name your price), well-run, and they do their utmost to make things accessible. (Including round-the-clock program).
Today in conversations with @kiyanicoll.bsky.social : Kiya: Had you noticed that [character's] entire vibe is 100% "fey-adjacent sovereignty queen"? Me: Yes, in fact I had. (We are now in discussion about the implications for a conversation.)
