In the Mail: WHAT WOULD VELMA DO?

WHAT WOULD VELMA DO? is written by my friend Shaenon Garrity, whose name is no doubt familiar to you all*. It’s just what it says on the title: a book about Velma, why she’s so awesome, and why you should be just like her. I don’t really think of myself as a Velma, per se — the archetypes don’t really line up for me, I think — but I do like it when Shaenon gets to pay her bills, so check the book out.

*If it’s not: she wrote the Narbonic and Skin Horse webcomics, did the covers for FROZEN DREAMS and TINSEL RAIN, and is a general good egg.

I am back, and so is MONSTER OF THE WEEK.

You all know who I am*: MONSTER OF THE WEEK is Shaenon Garritty’s weekly look at X-FILES episodes. She’ll be doing Season Seven this go-round. It may be a silly go-round, because apparently Season Seven was a very silly season. It’s been a while since I watched the episodes, myself.

Oh, nice: @shaenongarrity scores a book deal.

Shaenon, of course, did the cover for my first novel FROZEN RAIN — and will be doing the second Tom Vargas cover, once I’m ready to rev TINSEL RAIN up to speed. I’m glad she’s found something to keep her busy until then:

Karen Wojtyla at McElderry Books has bought world rights to Steam by The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor author Shaenon K. Garrity (l.), illustrated by Emily Holden. The YA graphic novel follows the adventures of Ruby, a “hypercognitive humanoid” designed to solve science’s greatest problems, who escapes from a university lab and finds a job as a barista in a kooky coffee shop, where she finds plenty of problems to solve.

In the Mail: THE DIRE DAYS OF WILLOWEEP MANOR.

THE DIRE DAYS OF WILLOWEEP MANOR is a graphic novel written by Shaenon Garrity (artist Christopher Baldwin), and it should provide a certain amusement to those who hold an appreciation for the Gothic genre. I like Shaenon, obviously (she did my first novel cover), but I’d like this even if I didn’t know her. Assuming that it had come across my radar, obviously; so huzzah for interacting with other people, hey?

:GULP: Um. Yes. Buy Skin Horse and/or Narbonic books.

Shaenon Garrity demands it.

:pause:

Seriously, folks.  You don’t want to mess with Shaenon under these circumstances, right now.  I went and got the complete Narbonic run for my wife, just to be on the safe side. You learn to detect the subtle warning signs… Continue reading :GULP: Um. Yes. Buy Skin Horse and/or Narbonic books.
