And now you have to listen to me talk about my  work! Bwa ha ha!

An update on Tyrannosaur Queen

Worldcon (no details, but I think it went well 🙂

New Frontiers (no 70 percent or more done!)

Joe Abercrombie’s First Law books and their delightfully reprehensible characters

Terry Pratchett’s Discworld badguys and their goals

Tony Stark in Iron Man
