Back? Maybe. Or maybe it's just a bad dream...

I walked into my folks' apartment building, and greeted the doorman in French. He didn't even blink. It may take some getting used to, this 'English' thing...

EtA: and I started to look at my f-list and thought "after a week? Non." So if anything happened you want me to be aware of, drop me a link and I'll check it out.

And in honor of the day, although I am not a pixel-stained whatever, I have authorized someone else to be one for me:

Go here to read my really pretty damn fabulous short story 'Fire Rising...'

Welcome home!

Liz Scheier is leaving Roc for Del Rey. I've been hoping to ask some questions of you about how best to make the transition to a new editor. If you've got the time and inclination. My email is dpf @ dianapfrancis dot com

Hope you had a good time.

Di

Welcome back!

Welcome home! *throws confetti*

[quarkwiz.livejournal.com]

Welcome home! Sorry, I dropped off of LJ for awhile (my brain went thataway) and didn't realize till too late what you were up to, so I deserved that parting "pbbbtttthhht" from you. Ah well. I hope it was lovely.

[lagilman]

I have a poster for you. :-)

That's the very story that got me to go to the dealers' room and buy my copy of Polyphony 6, so I'm glad you decided to share it (or let Deborah share it).

And welcome back!

[lagilman]

It is (like so much of my short fiction) so very very different from the Retriever novels, I thought that it might be a fun thing to share. Also, if I can break even one brain with it, then all's well with the world. ;-)

Welcome back!

Very nice story. I love the bit where her other self wants to "see if he's as hot as he thinks he is."

[lagilman]

merci!

(what I love about that story is how many different ways there are to read it, and how much each reading says about the reader, rather than the story.... I metatexted myself! *grin*)

Welcome back. Things got a bit weird in certain places while you were out.

Like the story - nice little bit. :)

[lagilman]

weird? certain places? (is not sure if she should be concerned, amused, or amusedly concerned....)

[autojim.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Blacksburg, VA, got real weird and not in a good way. :( But you probably knew that, and no, I don't think there's a connection between your absence from this fair land and the events of last week.

[lagilman]

Ah. I would have said 'tragic' rather than weird, myself. It was in the news in France, too.

[autojim.livejournal.com]

Tragic, yes. But with a definite weird undercurrent all the same.
