Girl Genius for 6/6
Our Kickstarter backers will be thrilled to know we finally approved all the proofs for the printer for the next 2 books. Now we get to find out when we can expect them to hit our driveway. Don't worry, a bunch will go to our shop as well!
Official Online, Internet Store for Girl Genius!
Hugo Books!
Today's Hugo hopeful book is Emily Tesh's The Incandescent. This is a magical school story that focuses on the teachers & administrators, with an emphasis on just how grueling & miserable their jobs & lives are. Yep, that came through really clearly. I get it. Pay teachers more.

It is that time of year in the garden when you have all your plants in place, the weather is perfect, and the fastest growing thing is the weeds. Those fuckers are healthy and happy and refuse to die. Nice to know that at some level, I'm doing something right.
Books I'm Reading
Still reading the Hugo books. Today is Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Hard SF with really intriguing aliens, set in a universe where hyper-capitalism has ruined everything forever to such a depressing degree that I just couldn't get into it. I'll try again eventually, but these days? I need escapism.

Embraced my effete intellectual aspect yesterday, and made a couple of quiches–and the family snaffled them up instantly. Gratifying, yes, but also a bit discouraging as they are a LOT of work (if you make them right) Obviously I need to make twice as many next time.

Planning ahead for our next show, which is a MTG show in tawdry, starved for tourists Las Vegas! They work us hard there, so we're always happy to meet fans!
Book Talk
Hey, lookit me, reading books like a quaint 20th century person! Still working my way through the Hugo nominees. Today it's The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. This excellent book did the one thing I appreciate the most in a story: It continually surprised me in a logical & entertaining manner. That's really tough to do because I am a jaded and cynical reader. Not brag, just fact.

Ah, it is Spring, when it is beautiful outside, I can see my garden (which needs weeding) and the last thing I want to do is work on the next novel which is already taking far too long and I have just discovered that my chair is too short, dammit.
Book Time!
A lot of people are interested in the "How" I work (as opposed to the rest who ask "Why?") When I draw, I tend to draw for about 3 minutes at a time, and then read for 5. "How the hell can you work like that?" people cry. Very well, thank you. 60+ plus years behind the drawing board and no Carpel Tunnel Syndrome yet. Recently I've found myself reading crap off my phone instead of books because it was more "convenient". My bad. Determined to break this odious habit, I started by reading through the 2026 Hugo Award nominees. First up, A Drop of Corruption by Robert J. Bennett. This is a murder mystery set in an alternate world with a whole lot of bio-engineering. The characters are excellent, and I found the dynamic between the principals to be very well done. I liked it so much that I plan to order the rest of the books in the series, and you can't get better than that.

There always people who missed the latest Kickstarter and all of the associated wonderfulness, and thus their life is a desolation. Well FEAR NOT! Here is a final chance to get "in on it" and make your life complete once again! YAY!
Adventure, Romance, MAD SCIENCE! The next TWO volumes of Phil & Kaja Foglio's acclaimed graphic novel series!
Girl Genius for 5/22
Kaja sez that she will be "pushing the button" to activate the Backerkit for the latest Kickstarter sometime in the next 24 hours. Yay! This means we have to clean out the packing and shipping room. Boo!
Girl Genius for 5/20
Hey, hey! It's the final page of Book # 26! Whew! Did some rough calculating… 5 more books to go, more or less. Then I can retire to New Zealand and open that day-old baked goods and tire shop I see in my dreams. It'll be called 'When the Rubber Meets the Rolls' and it'll be great.
Girl Genius for 5/18
Lo– We have come out of the East to once again reclaim our thrones before the mighty computers and get our asses back to work. Our journey hence was what all that we desire in airborne travel; Boring.
Still in Ohio!
Today Kaja had to explain to me that they did NOT name the state after the Japanese word for "Good morning". This is disappointing, but truth does not care about your feelings and expectations.

Cheyenne is still recuperating, and we are in exotic Cincinnati! The one in Ohio! The trip here was as perfect as people in our socio-economic class could expect, so we're hoping for a good show all around. You being here would help!
Girl Genius for 5/13
Cheyenne is doing better! However for the short term, we will rely on you, gentle readers, to use your imagination to color the next few pages, until he's back online. Go crazy! Free yourself from the shackles of chromatic expectations! Try Agatha in nothing but shades of green!
Girl Genius for 5/11
Bit of a panic yesterday, as we got a call that Cheyenne (our colorist) was in the hospital! However it now seems that it was "only" a kidney stone. Still a horrible surprise, but survivable. Here is his Patreon in lieu of cards.
