I'm getting ready to leave for #WorldCon2019 in Dublin, and talking about time off from writing and the Restless Stagnation (TM) that begins to rise when I need to write. Also, a bit more about L. Penelope's podcast and her episode on YA Fantasy here. 

Photo is Jackson sitting beside me on the patio, paws tucked into my hand. Yeah, it's hard to leave again so soon.

A special celebrity guest, Grace Draven, talks with me from San Diego Comic Con. We discussed SDCC, what we'd been up to, etc. I also ask Grace to talk about her daily life and challenges as a career author.

Also, because I'm traveling extensively right now, I'll be posting these podcasts with the date recorded, though I may not be able to get them up for a few days.
