Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.

So cute!
Can a reader assume that Shelly was the model for the dog in "Laika Comes Back Safe"?
I heard your reading of that story in Seattle and very much enjoyed it. Well, if enjoy is the right word for such a sad tale. After thinking about it for a while (long after the reading ended) I wanted to ask if the seeming metaphor of lycanthropy for mental illness was an intentional choice and if so whether you had a specific motivation for that choice. I guess that might be kind of a personal question, so no worries if you don't want to answer.
Awww. That's awesome.
With your move to texas, will you be at WFC in the fall?
omygod I love those dogs!
Jeffy, I can't say that the big dog was exactly a model for the dog in laika comes back safe, but obviously, yeah, I love my dog and that's where Brittany's relationship with her German Shepherd Lacey comes from.
I don't have a specific motivation for the lycanthropy/mental illness thing. I just found the idea of two kids who were so trapped in their lives that they were willing to believe in lycanthropy to be really interesting, and I think, oddly true.
Chance, you bet I will be at WFC. Are you going? How's your novel?
Chris! Do you have my email address? I have a new computer, email me so I have your address?
Puppies!
(I wouldn't bother making excuses. Friday pet blogging has a long and glorious tradition, anyway.)
What cuties!
I can't wait to send you your cute animal-related Austin housewarming presents.
