Woohoo! Just renewed my @SFWA membership! Honored to be a part of our happy ship of wonder for another year!

My yearly reminder to composers that the viola is capable of a lot more than playing elegies & introspective testaments.

Today, 18 composers sent pieces to me. All but 3 are elegies. The other 3 are titled, Lament, Valley of Despair, Melted Dreams.

Diese Neuerscheinung hat mich mega neugierig gemacht. Der Titel, das Cover der Klappentext, mit einer sehr abgefahrenen Konstellation :D

Crap. Well, that was a short New Year’s celebration.

Part of me wants to chat about all the stuff I am putting in the new book. But I think better to not spoil it... I may read a bit of it at Arisia next month...

A beautiful tale of magical queers using their gifts for their love ones...
