Hello! Just a heads up that I will be at Thought Bubble this year. I will be signing and sketching all weekend, and I'll have books and whatnot for sale. Come up and see me!

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

If I was to write a haunted house story it would be about a techbro billionaire who buys an old castle, installs all the latest AI tech to make it a SmartCastle™, invites all his techbro billionaire cronies to a celebration party and the castle, in its ancient wisdom, destroys them all without mercy

In 1895 the Lumière brothers showed a train heading straight at the camera, and legend says the audience ran. The myth may be false, but the physics of looming motion and the Doppler effect are real.
