Scheherazade: administrivia

Posted by ElizabethGenco on Thursday, March 1 2007 at 11:55 am

adam boorman elizabeth gencoHey, everyone. Just wanted to make a few administrivia-style announcements regarding my little corner of the Chemistry Set.

First, no SCHEHERAZADE update today. But! Adam is working on the next pages and should have something for a weekend update. Yay!

Second, thanks to everyone who came by the Chemistry Set table at the New York Comic Con this past weekend. Thanks for the tons of love you showered our way – we feel it! And an extra-special shout-out to our own lovely Kevin Colden, who organized the table and kept things running smoothly all weekend.

I know things have been kinda slow on Thursdays. Between quitting my job, spending over a week in Maine (visiting my gorgeous best friend and doing research on my first young adult novel), and getting my freelance writing gigs off the ground, I’ve been a little swamped. Thankfully, I’m settling into a routine now and my activity around here will pick up accordingly. Here are a few of the tricks up my sleeve:

    After MARCOS, Adam will be taking a well-earned break from SCHEHERAZADE art detail. Zoe’s next bit, TATTERED COAT, will be drawn by…. an amazing artist I can’t reveal just yet. But oh ho ho… lemme tell you, I’ve seen the thumbnails and… damn, I’m just such a lucky girl. Damn! I love it. You’re gonna love it. I know it.
    In addition to the SCHZDE goodness, I have a few stand-alone short stories that will be serialized here on the ‘Set in the coming months. The first of these, BLEEDING HEARTS, diverges slightly from my usual moodiness and into goofy vampire territory. It’ll be drawn by our own Tom Williams. Alas, rest assured, the remaining stand-alones will be moody. I have no sense of humor.
    The next From The Library interview will feature – hang on to your suspenders – Mark Waid. Yes! I’m thrilled for a number of reasons, not the least of them being the fact that Mark has taught me more about writing than anyone on the planet, hands down. Other upcoming interviews include Catherynne Valente and Cecil Castellucci (who kindly just agreed to one — huzzah!).

That’s it!
