hawkwing_lbReviews:
Ink for Vector
The Kassa Gambit for Ideomancer
One other (to be finalised) title for Ideomancer
due January.
I expect other reviews will turn up onto my plate eventually. But I'm in no rush.
Column for Tor.com:
I am all squared away until mid-January. So before then, I need to rough out a plan for the first six months, and line up some interesting interviewees, AKA hapless victims: any volunteers?
There are 26 weeks in the first half of 2013. Let's say three or four interviews, leaving me 20 weeks to plan for.
So, let's say I do a series of mini-series focusing on writers of (epic) fantasy, 4 posts per writer, 3 writers... let's say Sherwood Smith, Kate Elliott, and Tanya Huff, to begin with. That's 12 weeks covered, maybe 14 if I get carried away. Depending on how things go, I may want a post or two free to deal with visual media (Oblivion shows in the spring, and perhaps there may be Hobbit or Hansel and Gretel Witchhunters or The Host opinionating, and May and June are full of skiffy films), so call that 15 weeks. 16 weeks, if I find a boxset of something to get excited about. (Which I'm pretty sure I can. I haven't finished Hunted yet, after all.)
That leaves 4 weeks to plan for before the end of June. (Possibly less, depending on how excited about visual media I get, but we'll say 4.)
Want to start doing a read of the women authors in the Gollancz SF Masterworks list, so let's say two of them.
That leaves 2 weeks. Any suggestions for what to fill them with? (I'd love to do female-authored short fic collections, but it's not like I can really afford to splash out on my own copies, if I'm being smart about money.)
