Writing:


This year I was writing the first draft of A Tremor in the Bitter Earth. I did another draft of a short story that I've been fussing over for four years now ("What We See"). The premise of this story won't let me abandon it, but it needs more time and work. That's okay. I have a hard time coming up with ideas that are good enough and intense enough that they'll fit the form of a short story well.


Artwork


I spent the first three quarters of 1997 researching and assisting the design of William P. Reimann's "Commons Pavilion," a large commissioned sculptural installation for East Boston's Piers Park, which is owned and managed by MASSPORT (the Massachusetts Port Authority). This piece now has its own web page "Piers Park" — & see under "Visual" for more details. I also assisted in the installation of the "Snapping Turtle" fountain on the Framingham Service Plaza on the Massachusetts Turnpike. This involved several stages, including fun with a large crane and an 8' diameter granite monolith basin; pulling several hundred feet of greased electrical cable through a small pipe, and kibitzing. That installation is not quite complete owing to electrical malfunction in two of the four pumps that power the fountain's jets. These projects have slowed work on a collaborative Tarot Deck and other personal projects. I sketched the map for A Tremor in the Bitter Earth. Fun, as always, to be working on visual things for my own books.

 

November: Under "Fantasy Titles from Tor Books" the jacket copy for Wind from A Foreign Sky and A Tremor in the Bitter Earth. October: Under "Forthcoming and In Print from Tor" both of my book covers--see particularly the wonderful cover art by Romas Kukalis.

Summer: new reviews for Wind, Sketchbook of India Watercolors under "Visual." Sample chapters are now available from Wind From a Foreign Sky. Thanks are owed to Angela Sh'k'anna Korra'ti, from whom I lifted the idea (probably obvious to all others, but revolutionary and clever to me) of implementing this "record of updates" page.
