Tricia joins Suvudu
Remember when I talked about looking forward to the unexpected in 2012? Well, it’s only the end of January and I’ve had a good bit of that already. Today, I’m excited to reveal another one.
Just after the New Year I was offered a position as a regular contributor to the Star Wars section of Suvudu.com, Random House’s blog for featuring their science fiction and fantasy novels, including the Del Rey imprint that publishes the Star Wars books. Getting started, I’ll be posting there twice per month; the posts and links will be announced here at FANgirl Blog too, of course. As a blogger, this is a fantastic chance for exposure. As a writer, it will give me additional insight into the publishing business. As a fangirl, this is the kind of opportunity fans dream about. I couldn’t possibly say no.
My first blog was published this afternoon. I’ve been pondering the nature of starships, droid brains, and artificial intelligence quite a bit lately, especially how they compare to the qualities and characteristics of sentient, living characters. What better ship to serve as the basis for a musing on the nature of characters than the Millennium Falcon? I hope you’ll check out my post and share your passion for Star Wars.
Speaking of passion… My Valentine’s Day blog pitch has already been approved. I think some of my fangirl friends will enjoy it.
Many thanks to Erich Schoeneweiss, Frank Parisi, and Joseph Scalora at Random House for giving me a shot.
