The News in Brief

December 14, 2007 by tamarasheehan

Sorry for the neglect this last week, guys. I’ve been feeling a little under the weather all week and finally got hit with the sinus thing that’s been going around. Rather than a full and proper post, I bring you the news in brief:

I’m sad to announce that Terry Pratchett has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. My best wishes to him and to his family – I can’t imagine what it must be like to be facing that.

Hal Duncan posts a handy glossary for the modern blogger.

And 101reasonstostopwriting makes my Christmas list even bigger.

Also, it appears I uploaded a bunch of random pictures to my Flickr account last night.  I had a look at them this evening and they all appear to be family-friendly.  You’d let me know if there was anything embarrassing posted, right?  Right?

OK, that’s it.  Smoke if you got ‘em.

  • Tamara Sheehan

    Tamara Sheehan is the Aurora Award nominated author of The Tenth Man, a fantasy novel about terrorism and revenge set in the modern world. Her newest book, The Mediocre Assassin's Handbook is out from Prizm Young Adult, and her next book Stormy Bamboo and Other Tales is in the works. Both are both set in an alternative 19th century Asian world. Tam has written over dozen short stories and reads slush weekly for Bewildering Stories. She likes feedback (no, really) so if you want to get in touch you can join her email list at tamarasheehan is @ hotmail dot com (and suffer spam once a month) or introduce yourself when you see her at a convention. If you want to pick up a copy of one of her books, check out the Shop.

  • What I’m Reading Now

    I just set out an ambitious program of reading designed to help me prepare for the next book I'm writing. It's sitting in a slightly scary pile over by the table. Mean time, I've got Shake Hands with the Devil on loan from my friend Devon, The Essential Haiku sitting on the coffee table, a new Locus Magazine and A Woman's Guide to Peak Performance, which is what I picked up after I threw Training For Black Belt across the room.
