Portland = bliss! We were "this" close to moving there once upon a time, but didn't for various too-boring-to-recount-today reasons. But gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous - am jealous you got to go up there and visit Powells - yum! Do you know Cherie Priest, who I think (am actually, sort of, guessing) lives in that general area? (Because all writers within any given 100 square miles radius know one another, right? Yeah, well ... but still ...) Love her steampunk-y, vampire-y writing, and her style sort of reminds me of yours. 8-)
Chimes at Midnight sounds wonderfully, deliciously complicated. Will look forward to reading when it comes out, and meanwhile will get back to catching up to that point (wow, that was a really complicated set of tenses, wasn't it ... oops). Yay for machete squads doing their thing (I have one of those too in the form of my long-suffering, unpaid, unbylined husband, sigh ...), and for long BART commutes that make for excellent uninterrupted reading time. Woot!
Meanwhile, eversoglad to hear you're home safe (unless the cats go wild and completely lose track of who has those thumby-things that are so helpful in opening cans of tuna, in which case, you might remind them of same ...). Do please try to avoid lost/messily murdered/etc. will you? Will tempt you w offers of clafouti, the cats w fishy-smelling treats, to continue on (gleefully, as really is best) instead. 8-)
