http://www.marieoregan.net/journal A little bit about me, a little bit about other stuff... Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:18:14 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Here I am, posting much more promptly than usual. Work is manic, as usual, but wanted to finally post news of the book Paul and I have been working on for what seems like ages now. Full details can be found on the site, but I'm very excited to announce ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=15 Yet again I seem to be apologising for lack of attention to this blog - and yet again the excuse has to be, mainly, work. There are a few new short stories out, or due to be out (see the main site for details) - but other than that I've ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=14 It's been a while since I last posted, as things have been as hectic as ever. I thought work would slow down once Paul and I had stepped down from the BFS Committee, but it hasn't happened yet - which is a good thing, I guess :) So what's been ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=13 I'm finally surfacing after this year's FantasyCon (Paul's and my first as Organisers), and I can honestly say that we had a great time - even though I didn't get to see one single panel or interview, as I spent the whole weekend running around. I even had to miss ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=12 Paul and I were delighted when an invitation to a private screening of Neil Gaiman's new film, Stardust, arrived a couple of weeks ago, especially when the timing coincided with a weekend we were in London for the BFS Open Night on 1st June. So off we trotted last Sunday to ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=10 I really do have to be more organised about posting here, the days just seem to rush by lately. Things seem to have got even more hectic since I last posted - Paul and I got married at the end of March, it seemed like we'd been planning it for ages ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=9 Haven't had a chance to post for a while - life suddenly went through one of those manic phases that doesn't actually see you achieving as much as you think you should given the amount of activity involved - although I have to say a large part of the activity ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=8 I'm just about recovering from a really great weekend at FantasyCon - but one that was, as usual, hellaciously short on sleep. This was a good thing, though :) Paul and I got there around eleven am on Friday morning, and immediately started helping Jen and Pat set up, aided by ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=7 We (Paul and I) had the slightly weird experience on Thursday of travelling to Derby to be interviewed for Radio 2 about FantasyCon. Joining us in the interview were Mark Chadbourn, whose latest book is Jack of Ravens, and Juliet E McKenna, whose latest book is Eastern Tide. We got ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=6 So here it is, my own little corner of blogdom. Not sure how much I have to say, really, but I wanted to start keeping a journal, and in this day and age it might as well be an online one :) It's been a busy week, but a good one. ... http://www.marieoregan.net/journal/?p=3
