Hello again, friends,<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s been a strange few weeks for us here in the Maresca household.\u00a0 If you weren’t aware, most of Texas suffered a massive catastrophe when we were hit with temperatures\u00a0below freezing for several days, which was absolutely unprecedented.\u00a0 I’ve lived in Austin for 25 years, and this is the lowest I’ve seen the temperature go, and the longest stretch of below-freezing temperatures as well.\u00a0 While it was terrible for many, many people, we were all right in Casa Maresca.\u00a0 We were very fortunate that we never lost heat or power, and while we did lose water for several days, we were prepared enough (especially with the additional generosity of friends) to weather that inconvenience.\u00a0 We were very lucky.<\/span><\/p>\n

And since we’re OK, what’s coming up?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/a>The Velocity of Revolution <\/strong><\/span>came out last month, and I’ve been absolutely thrilled with the reactions I’ve heard so far. I’m going to eschew the usual humility and say that I think this is the best book I’ve written. If you’ve yet to check it out, consider that it is Queernorm Dieselpunk Fantasy with:<\/span><\/div>\n
