My poem “Irene” has been accepted by Uppagus; it’s a poem about my husband’s grandmother (who was wonderful).

I am still catching up after World Fantasy Convention. A few highlights: breakfast with my agent, Lisa Rodgers; getting to tell L. E. Modesitt, Jr. how much I love his books; hearing Carol Berg read; being a last-minute addition to the late night poetry-slam panel; getting to meet people I’d only known via email, including Charlie Finlay, Adrian Simmons and Jenny Blackford; witnessing Gordon van Gelder’s troasting (half-toasting, half-roasting).
