Naomi Chats With Her Fans Tomorrow!
Now that Naomi is home from her tour and the San Diego Comic Con, she gets to finally relax, right?
Wrong!
While she may be home, she is still extremely busy promoting her new book, Tongues of Serpents, and will be conducting a chat via B&N's Facebook page tomorrow beginning at 6:30pm EDT!
Do you have a question you've simply been dying to ask Naomi? Or want to tell her how much her work means to you? Here is your chance! Visit the B&N Facebook page MEET NAMOI NOVIK, let them know you are attending, prepare your questions, carve out some time tomorrow beginning at 6:30pm EDT, and that's it! It's that simple. Hope to see some of you there!

From the Road: Day 6 Drabble!
In Seattle, Tristan totally got her drabble prompt to the head of the line by bringing me awesome Temeraire loot — it is super-cool and I cannot wait to show it off, but my iphone photos are inadequate, so you are going to have to wait until I get home for pictures. :D *is a tease*
Her prompt was "Tharkay and name":
His father called him George, determinedly; his mother made no demur, but she did not need to: the weight of aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents were ranged with her, and all their society. At the age of five, Tenzing thought the other only a pet name, and English a private language for two; he was conscious of the greatest indignation when the British envoy visited and with his loud voice intruded.
She died, two years later, and his world was altered; but the change ensured her victory: he could not resist being taken away, but he refused to answer to George.
Sniffle. :(
Day two of Comic-Con was, uh, mostly spent by the pool watching other people stand in very very long lines (bad fan). Sadly, I have acquired a brilliantly red nose despite carefully staying under an umbrella ALL DAY, which does not seem fair, so I now have a cheap and ugly pink San Diego baseball cap on. :P There were also fun interviews with Annalee Newitz of io9.com (in awesome Jaenelle Monae cosplay) and Adam Rogers of wired.com, and the day ended in a lovely dinner with (lj user=whitearrow) and awesome writers Gillian Horvath, Melinda Snodgrass, and Nancy Holder. \o/
