The latest from India Drummond. Thoughts on writing, creating, publishing, and what she’s up to on social media.
Weekend Cooldown
My partner and I took the weekend away. Not far, but far enough to give a little change of scenery. I'd planned to spend the weekend lounging around a hotel, maybe reading and relaxing, using their lovely indoor pool, hitting the hot tub. Getting room service. It...
Fantasy Read #9
For the ninth book in my reading challenge #50Fantasy2019, I had a difficult time! I got four DNF (did not finish) books in a row, and was really having a difficult time finding something that captured my attention. I decided to try something fresh, something newly...
I Know the Code!
So, by far the most fun thing that has happened recently is that I got my SFWA decoder ring. I don't know if any of my fellow members will actually send me coded messages, but that's not the point, is it. The point is that we could (and I'm hoping someone will.) As a...
She’s Helping Again
This week has been both very long and very short! It was as though the first four days were all Mondays, then by Friday I was wondering how the end of the week came so fast…
Nebula Award Finalists

Fantasy Read #7
This week for the #50antasy2019 challenge I chose an own-voices novel, Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan. Beautifully written and unputdownable. I'm a fast reader, but this one I devoured in one night. I just could't stop reading. What are you reading now? Join...
Fantasy Read #6
For my 2019 reading challenge this time I picked The Huntress by Malinda Lo. A YA fantasy novel with LGBT themes, it was a beautiful story full of emotion as well as fantasy adventure. A coming of age story, but so much more. What are you reading this week? Let's read...
