Well, I mean, I’m not. She is:
Teaser Tuesday 8/13/19: “I Am Livia”
TARDIS Tuesday: Author Retreat
Going on a little trip, but will be back before I leave.
Technological Tuesday: Once An iPod, Now A Paperweight
That 70s Dust Jacket Author Photo
Me in the 1970s, dressed to the 9s. Or the 8s, or however old I was when it was taken:
You would totally buy a book with this photo on the back of the dust jacket, right? No? Is the unbuttoned jacket a bit much? How about this, then?
Oh yeah. Everyone loves a dimple and a little dot on the chin.
Teaser Tuesday: “The Branches of Time”
Recently having decided to switch, at least for a while, from my previous habit of picking a random book to read, and instead reading them in roughly the order in which they got them, I have lately been picking up* books that I acquired way back in the halcyon days of 2015.

Type O’ Typos
Last week I finally finished the last round of paper editing on Father’s Books. This was supposed to be just to find and fix typos, but turned into yet another round of “let’s move this sentence over there” and “I can cut this paragraph” sorts of edits. Which is not to say there weren’t typos too. Most times there’s nothing much interesting about typos, but every once in a while they’re cute.
Teaser Tuesday 6/11/2019: “The Three-Body Problem”
So this week I’m continuing my recent spree of reading translated works* with The Three-Body Problem, by Cixin Liu (or Liu Cixin, depending). As you may be able to guess by the author’s name, this is a Chinese science fiction novel.
