Balticon 60 Schedule

Balticon is the first SF/F con I attended as an adult fan, and returning as part of programming is one of the highlights of my year. As much as I adore the new romance community I’ve found, speculative fiction remains my passion, and I love having a few days to catch up with the people and topics that helped form who I am as a writer (and reader) today. I also spent the first 8 years of my profess

You should seriously read that series, I think you'd really enjoy it. Start with "Kitty and the Midnight Hour." P.S. It's not cats, it's werewolves. ;)


Elizabeth The books you read are crazy! The names always seem like the book is so intense! And whenever I see the word 'Kitty' I always think, must be Hanna! Her and her obsession with cats! HAHAHAH xDDD

BTW, your default picture cracks me up. That's literally my life too. I'm always doing the most LAZY things ever. Normally, I have a book in hand, some tv show/movie is playing, and I'm playing with my animals, mostly my cat. LOL. :))
