Official site live!

My friend Tammy did all the hard work, and I'm grateful that she's got an eye for design (I don't!)

Point your browsers to CD Covington.com and have a look.

I'm not abandoning my blog, don't you worry :)

Reading at Dragon*Con

I'm participating in the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading, which will be on Saturday, September 4, at 11:30 am in one of the lit track rooms. I'll be reading from "U8: Alexanderplatz (1989)".

If you're at the con, stop by and have a listen!

Crisis managed (for now)

I spent about 24 hours at UNC hospital, where I got 3.5 liters of IV fluids (thanks to not having eaten for most of a week and having, shall we say, digestive issues) and some drugs to treat the symptoms. They kicked me out yesterday evening, because there's no reason to keep me there, since I was rehydrated and they don't need to keep me there to wait for test results. Hospitals are loud and full of germs. But they still don't know the root cause, so I'm going to the GI specialist in 2 weeks. Hopefully she'll have an idea.

The fabulous Julia read my story for me in the RFR Friday night, while I was stuck in the ER with 2 bags of normal saline dripping into my arm. She said people liked it, and that makes me happy.

I went back to the con today, attended a panel, then hung out with Natania and Julia for a while, and Lee Martindale was outside for some fresh air, so she joined us. It was a nice chat, ranging from GLBT rights issues to feminism and writing and what books we'd read recently and writing and stuff.

But I'm home and fixed up, temporarily, at least. I'm starting to get my appetite back, even.

NASFIC: Change of plans

I'm going to the hospital instead. I haven't eaten in a week, and a diet of clear liquids hasn't helped.

I hope they can figure out what's wrong with me. I'm tired of being sick. Hopefully this'll fix it in time for Dragon*Con.
