Wow!  Beautiful sunshine and beautiful city! And of course you know that I used my opportunity to wander about today, not to shop, but to look at more trees and birds. But I also got to vist Cook’s Cottage,  domicile of the redoubtable Captain Cook, which was transported here from England.  It was a fascinating glimpse [...]

And I’m racing out the door!  Check out the new post at Robinhobb.com for updates on my day!   It’s going to be a great one! Megan

Well, almost.  The plane doesn’t fly until Tuesday, but I’m already packed!  A trifle eager?  Of course I am! Thanks to SupaNova and my publisher, HarperCollins Voyager, I’ll be spending the first part of April in Australia.  I’ll be visiting Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.  In the cities of Brisbane and Melbourne, I’ll be doing the [...]

 As you can see!  I received my hardback The Inheritance from Voyager today, and it’s a beauty.  The art is by the inimitable Jackie Morris, and features dual cats. Inside are stories by both Megan Lindholm and Robin Hobb. Some are old, some new, some previously published and for some this is their first outing. There [...]

The solution was obvious.  And I’ve [...]

E-mail this week from sundry sources: 1 PM will work for us I’ll pick up some chairs to bring, they’ll be 9 of us, I’ll be bringing a couple of hot vege dishes, a roast pork tenderloin, egg rolls and Larry will be bringing fish. I might attempt to fix some desert of some kind [...]

Here’s an opportunity for Washington state musicians and writers. And for writers from other locations if you are willing to travel. The Experience Music Project and the Science Fiction Museum at the Seattle Center in Seattle, Washington are sponsoring a Science Fiction Festival  in February 2011.  For details, follow the link above.  It’s open to [...]

When I was 3 or 4 years old, my family lived in Berkeley, California, on Allston Way.  I don’t recall the house number, only that we weren’t far from the railroad tracks (and yes, we put pennies on them!) and the PG&E lot. For a time, my family had a boarder who lived with us.  [...]
