A few months ago Scott Sigler asked if I would be interested in blogging as a character from Ancestor (Jian). It was to be a small part of his overall marketing plan leading up to the bullrush on Amazon.com on April 1st. I said “Of course-I’ve always dreamed of being an overweight crazy biatch.”
So for three months I blogged a couple times a week as Dr. Lui Jiandan, better known as Jian, the crazy but brilliant Chinese geneticist from Ancestor.
It didn’t turn out to be the easter egg for Scott’s fans that Scott hoped it would be (only a few found it), but it was a lot of fun for me, and a good exercise as well. Read the blog in reverse if you want to see Jian’s descent into madness leading up to the start of Ancestor.

NC State professor & author Stacey Cochran moderated the Raleigh Write 2 Publish – Panel Discussion:
Podcasting, Blogs, and Self-Publishing: New Ways to Reach Audiences With Your Book with authors P.G. Holyfield, Mur Lafferty, and Elisa Lorello. This panel took place at Quail Ridge Books on Saturday, May 17, 6:30 PM
I had the pleasure of being interviewed by Amanda Cales and Justin Macumber from the excellent Dead Robot’s Society podcast, and they agreed to let me post the audio in my feed. I’ve known Amanda since our days posting in the I Should be Writing forums, so the interview was fun and I think it turned out well.
