Tomorrow, Chase Masterson. After that...the world!

Tomorrow night, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I get to interview Chase Masterson, and I'm really looking forward to it. Funny thing—just about everyone I've mentioned Chase's name to has said she's one of the nicest people in show business. And as it happens, she's also an experienced podcast talkshow host. But I also need to be thinking about who I'm going to have on the show next week, or in a couple weeks, and I've been looking into that very matter today. And found out a couple of interesting things.

Did you know that the Screen Actors' Guild has a phone number you can call to get the contact information of stars' agents? I did that today, to try to get messages to a couple of the stars of the old Robotech TV show. I emailed a couple of others who have their own websites, too. Hopefully they'll all say yes.

Be still my booking heart!

Last night, Sharon Lee and Steve Miller announced that their Liaden series—one of my very favoritest SF/fantasy series in the world—is going to be available electronically via Baen's Webscription service starting sometime in February.

This is very good news for a number of reasons. Their old ebook service was the now-defunct Embiid, which locked its books up in DRM encryption and then went out of business. Baen's books should be encryption-free, and reasonably priced, too.

This will go quite nicely with the impending chapter-at-a-time release of the draft of Fledgling.

I can so not wait…
