I’ll be leaving town for several weeks, starting a week from Monday.  I’ll try to update this as I can.

Still no word on when Hawk is scheduled. I’m hoping for an editing session on it while I’m out of town, and I might learn more then.

Still excited (probably too excited) about the release of The Incrementalists (36 days!).

Meanwhile, I’m still working on the sequel to The Incrementalists, and another project that I don’t want to talk about yet.  A short story I was working on hit a brick wall, but I still like the idea, so I’m going to see if I can take another pass at it.

I hope to see some of you at Worldcon, Fencon, or one of the signings.

 

 

Greetings! Using foul sorcery, I have managed to get pictures from SKZB’s phone onto a device useful for posting them! Please hold celebrations of this fact until the end of the post, or we’ll be here all night (also, the confetti is cursed).

Brandon’s dog wearing a hat. I guess this is how they roll in Montana. I do love a great hat.

 

The Harbor House in Skagway! We really made it there!

 

Carcross is apparently a thing from a folk song. He played it for me and everything, but I don’t remember the name of it.

 

Kendall, Erik, and Toni. Awww.

 

This time, with Steve!

 

Steve, me, and the Harbor House, totally getting photobombed by a sweet mountain.

 

Here we are, the intrepid adventurers of the road. BADASSERY.

 

Apart from the unspeakable beauty of this scene, can we consider the choice of combining Italian and Mexican in one restaurant? Specials, of course, were sweet and sour chicken and Mongolian beef.

 

Pretty sure this is just after the Hailstorm of Doom? We wanted pictures of the rainbow.

That’s it for this batch of pictures. You may applaud….. NOW.

10 minutes to broadcast, we’ve just tested and things seem okay! This is the event link:

This Tuesday, at 8 pm central, Steven Brust and Skyler White will have a Hangout On Air to read from their book The Incrementalists. The Hangout will be broadcast live for your entertainment and edification!

Before dropping by on Tuesday to watch Skye and Steve be charming Persons of Letters, be sure to visit the website of the book (http://incrementalistsbook.com/) and read the excerpt posted there.

Now, on to a couple of technical notes. We’ve used regular  google hangouts before (because, y’know, modern technology makes long-distance conversations with friends and co-authors more pleasant) but not the On Air feature. Google swears it will be easy, but they also took Reader away from me, so I have some trust issues with them. We’ll see! This post right here will be the hub of information for the event, and I’ll update here if anything changes between now and 8 pm Tuesday.

The way to find the Hangout ought to be to visit Steve’s G+ page, and after the reading is finished, the video will be posted on incrementalistsbook.com.

EDITED TO NOTIFY CITIZENS OF EARTH OF THE FOLLOWING: You do not need a G+ profile to watch the broadcast!

Fourth Street was wonderful.

I came back, dived into revisions for Hawk, worked on a short story, started a brand new project, and am continuing working on the new Icrementalists novel with Skyler.

This is so much fun.

Finished a pass on Hawk, but reluctantly concluded it’s going to take at least one more, so working on that now (with the help of the lovely Jenphalian).

Anyway, Hawk ought to be done pretty soon.

That’s what I’ve been up to.
