October: Cozy

This month, October 23-25, is MileHi Con, Denver’s regional SF con. It’s always a good time, a great place to meet and chat with lots of different writers, and to pick up some treasures in the dealers room and art show. I’ll be there!

My word of the month: cozy. This is a reminder to be mindful of the changing season and head into the remainder of the year with a good attitude. At least, I can try!

Carrie Vaughn answered Horhe's question: Will we see a third book in the Bannerless series? Unfortunately, I'm not planning one at the moment. I have ideas, but I also have a lot of other projects I'm working on. I have written some short stories in the setting -- "Learning Letters" features Enid. https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fi...

Quotes by Carrie Vaughn (?)

“I'm a werewolf trapped in a human body."
"Well, yeah, that's kind of the definition."
"No, really. I'm trapped."
"Oh? When was the last time you shape-shifted?"
"That's just it - I've never shape-shifted."
"So you're not really a werewolf."
"Not yet. But I was meant to be one, I just know it. How do I get a werewolf to attack me?"
Stand in the middle of a forest under a full moon with a raw steak tied to your face, holding a sign that says, 'Eat me; I'm stupid'?”
― Carrie Vaughn, Kitty and the Midnight Hour

I just wanted to thank you for consistently writing an *actual* strong female lead who *isn't* a bitch. You're one of the few writers who "gets it right." I adore your work.
