Good News for Kristine Grayson Fans
I just sold The Charming Way, a new Kristine Grayson novel, to Sourcebooks. The best part of the entire deal is that Sourcebooks will reissue two out-of-print titles as well, Utterly Charming and Thoroughly Kissed. (The editor is calling this the Prince Charming trilogy.) The books won’t be released until 2011, but thought you’d want to know what’s coming. To tide you over, here’s a list of Grayson short stories. A new one will join the list later in the week–as soon as I get my act together and scan the cover! • “ Cosmic Balances, Inc.” WIZARDS, INC, edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Loren L. Coleman, November 2007. • “The Last Vampire,” TIME AFTER TIME, edited by Denise Little, Tekno Books, November, 2005. • “Name-Calling,” Amazon Shorts , July, 2005. … Read entire article »

Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Burnout
Artwork donated by Pati Nagle. The Freelancer’s Survival Guide: Burnout Kristine Kathryn Rusch Some of you might think it strange to go from discussing success to discussing burnout, but the progression seems logical to me. Most people I know who have burned out have burned out during or after a great success. First, let’s talk about burnout itself. “Burnout” spelled as one word is a recent colloquialism used to describe a physical and psychological distinction. It’s so new, in fact, that my favorite desk dictionary, The Macmillan Contemporary Dictionary, which I bought in 1979 while in college doesn’t list the one word version.
