Now I’m a REAL Writer (GeekGirlCon Wrap-up)

Book Cover Throwback: Doctor Who
This week’s Book Cover Throwback: Doctor Who and the Daleks, intro written by the awesome Neil Gaiman. This is in honor of Seattle’s Doctor Who convention, Anglicon, taking place this weekend, of which I’m a panelist. (You can see my Read More…
