Another notch on my bed post?

I seem to be turning into some kind of author stalker. I've exchanged comments with Sherwood Smith, P.C. Hodgell, Elizabeth Bear, E. Wein, Emma Bull and now I've found the Bookview Café run by unknown (to me) and well known sf/fantasy authors, which linked me to Vonda N. McIntyre's Basement of Books, where I promptly ordered one I haven't read and one which has gone missing.

Today I get an e-mail thanking me for the business and asking how I found the page and promising to sign the books. This is one of the authors whose Star Trek novels I read in the 80ies... *shivers running down spine* and who has a great SF universe of her own in the Starfarer novels.

Thinking back on this year I have obviously turned into a female sf/fantasy author groupie. I have no regrets.

Hi groupie,

just wanted to thank you for the link you sent--I couldn't get LJ to respond via message. You are the second person to send me the link! it's fab! I'm going to forward it to Ethiopia Reads and also to all my Ethiopian Peace Corps friends and family.

cheers,

e wein

Hi female fantasy author,

I wasn't sure you'd see it as I found it via the Smart Bitches and not on LJ, but it's good to hear the Ethiopia Reading Grapevine is alert enough to give you multiple alerts ^^.

Cheers right back,

Estara

Off topic, but just thought you'd like to know you've won the November commenting contest over at [livejournal.com profile] dawbooks! You can choose any DAW paperback book. I'd suggest one of the Throne of Amenkor books, but I'm biased. *grin* Just let me know what book you'd like and I'll see if I can get my hands on it. I'll also need a mailing address eventually, but we can worry about that once I've got the book.

OOps, I had overlooked my own name *turns red*. I sent you a message with the info. Thanks again!
