AnimEigo's edition of Full Moon o Sagashite (Looking for the Full Moon) is about to release! Part 1 in just a few days, Part 2 coming later. This series intrigues me first as a post-Sailor Moon throwback to the idol genre, and second as, well...
Mitsuki's a normal 12-year-old girl who dreams of becoming an idol singer... except she's dying of cancer. With a surgery looming that could damage her vocal chords, and a grandmother completely against Mitsuki's dreams of showbiz, it seems like her wish will never come true. But when she's visited by two shinigami - Takuto and Meruko - Mitsuki makes a promise. If they can help her fulfill her dream, then she will part with her soul willingly when the time comes.
...a much more melancholy premise than you'd expect from a magical idol throwback!
This is the first time the whole English dub will be released, after its original release plans were interrupted. Exciting times!

...and updates on their release of Looking for the Full Moon, a magical girl series that's intrigued me for a while now.
Whew~! Readercon was a whirlwind, as expected, but so much fun. I had so many great panels, and I wrote down so many inspiring thoughts and quotes from fellow panelists. Two in particular from Vandana Singh: “There is an artificial line between nature and culture.” and “Shiva was a bisexual god before he got appropriated by mainstream Hindus.”
But now it’s time to gird my loins for Worldcon in Seattle! I leave in less than a week. But guess what…?
I got added to the Fan Expo Boston author lineup as well, being wrangled by Lovestruck Books, the absolutely fab new romance bookstore in Harvard Square, which has a huuuuge romantasy section, nice erotica section, and lots of other squee-worthy genres.
So this Saturday, August 9 I’ll be autographing Magic University at 11am at Fan Expo, along with Elizabeth Skarpnes (To The Gallows|on Bookshop & Amazon) and I.V. Ophelia (The Poisoner | on Bookshop & Amazon).
Then at 9pm I’ll be on an 18+ panel/writing workshop on How to Write a Sex Scene with Kim Swizz and I.V. Ophelia! The three of us will be giving advice (in graphic detail if necessary) on how to wring every last bit of pleasure from writing sex scenes! Whether you’re trying to keep it as low key as possible or you want to turn up the heat, we have techniques to share!
Fan Expo Boston is held at BCEC (Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, right next to the Westin Seaport.)
My Worldcon schedule is spread out over five days and four different venues:
