This is what my office looked like when I arrived Monday morning: My secretary did a good job, didn’t she? I especially like the giant spider on my chair. I’ve moved the webs away from my chair and monitor so I can work, but the rest remain. Very festive. (The giant gavel, the serotonin model, …
I’m feeling slightly guilty, because while some of you are buckling down for dangerous weather, we’re having a beautiful day here in California. It’s supposed to be 80F here today. But hard as it is to believe today, the winter holidays are just around the corner. I’ll have two holiday short stories released in December. …
Recently, I was sitting in the kitchen, typing away at my laptop. I usually am. And my older daughter, who’s 13, was making a sandwich. “Hey, Mom?” she said. I probably grunted a reply. “What would you do if I told you I was gay? I’m not, but what would you do?” Well, that got …
Today I’m going to talk about donations and then hit you up for one. I give all the royalties from my Praesidium trilogy (Stasis, Flux, and Equipoise) to Doctors Without Borders. Not only is the cause an excellent one, but the charity itself is well-run, so that a very large proportion of donations actually goes …
I am back from GayRomLit. Didn’t get much sleep, but had a wonderful time and met some really fantastic people. I didn’t actually take that many photos, but I have a few to share. There were go-go boys. And chiles. Lots and lots of chiles. I’ve never been to New Mexico before and had no …

Lou Sylvre interviews me today. http://sylvre.com/2012/10/15/kim-fielding-on-writing-for-readers-and-other-stuff-and-a-sweet-excerpt-from-speechless/
Here’s a little tease: the cover for a short story that Silver Publishing will be releasing this winter. The tentative release date is December 13. He’s awfully pretty, isn’t he? “Joys R Us” is a Christmas story. And if that’s not enough holiday for you, Dreamspinner will release my Hanukkah story in December; that one’s …
I had a crappy day at work today. Other people screwed up and I’m stuck having to clean up their mess while simultaneously trying to quell panic among students and colleagues. And on top of that, my older daughter is going to have a slumber party tomorrow, which means there will be 8 13-year-old girls …
