A request from Karina
Posted by KarinaFabian on Saturday, January 10, 2009 (03:55:09) (281 reads)
My publisher has nominated Rob's and my book, Leaps of Faith in the P&E polls for best anthology, and I'd really like to see us place if not win.
Leaps was our first anthology, one of Christian sci-fi. It was a finalist as an electronic book and has taken many years of searching to find its print home. However, it got me started in my career, and has a special place in my heart as a result. Plus, it's a terrific book, with some excellent reviews.
It only takes a couple of moments to vote:
1st: click the link to vote: http://www.critters.org/predpoll/antho.shtml
2nd: you'll receive an email in your inbox almost instantaneously with another link to confirm your vote. If you don't confirm, your vote isn't counted.
Thanks and God bless,
Karina L. Fabian

A Dragon's Eye View Newsletter Now Available
Posted by KarinaFabian on Thursday, January 08, 2009 (15:54:06) (261 reads)
A Dragon's Eye View comes out bi-monthly and includes a short article from me, a rant from Vern, Faerie Facts and special offers. It's available to DragonEye, PI members, so register on the website today.
In the inaugural issue:
* How Karina came up with the idea for DragonEye, PI
* Vern rants about human misconceptions regarding dragons
* Vern's explanation of the Faerie World (from Magic, Mensa and Mayhem, coming March 2009 from Swimming Kangaroo)
* Special offers and events
Sneak Peak:
* I am not a fire hazard. I can control my fire better than you can control your bowels, thank you very much. Also, it took me over 800 years of service to earn my fire back--I am not going to lose it because you annoyed me, forgot the title of my book, called me a dinosaur, whatever. I can deal with you in other ways.

OT: Catholic Writers Conference Online
Posted by KarinaFabian on Monday, January 05, 2009 (15:53:29) (304 reads)
Breaking character for a moment to make this announcement:
Just a reminder that the second annual Catholic Writers’ Conference Online will be held February 2-9, 2009. The online conference is free of charge and open to writers of all levels who register by January 15.
This year's conference boasts 60 presentations with over 40 editors and writing professionals from all over the country presenting. Editors on this year’s faculty include Brian Saint-Paul (InsideCatholic.com), Ami McConnell (Thomas Nelson Publishers), Susan Brinkman (Canticle Magazine), diocesan newspaper editor Kyle Eller, and Sister Maria Grace (Pauline Books & Media). Lea Schizas, Terri Main, Frank Creed, Karina Fabian, Devon Ellington, Mark Shea, Melanie Rigney, Michelle Buckman, and Tom Grace will also be presenting in their areas of expertise.
Workshops include: writing humor, worldbuilding, characterization, idea generation, writing devotions, writing and canon law, the business of writing, editing your manuscripts, crossing genres, virtual book tours, selling yourself and your works, and more.
In addition, at least five publishers will be holding pitch sessions, including Loyola, Pauline, Twenty-Third Publications and Our Sunday Visitor. (Pitch sessions require separate registration and authors must ensure their work meets the requirements of the publisher.)
This is open to all writers, but we ask that you respect our faith. Anyone using this conference as an opportunity to troll, argue or "evangelize" will be removed. Or Vern may eat you.
Registration closes January 15. Although the conference is offered free of charge, donations are accepted; proceeds will go toward future conferences. To register or for more information, go to http://www.catholicwritersconference.com.
Blessings,
Karina Fabian

Karina Has Finished Live and Let Fly
Posted by KarinaFabian on Monday, September 15, 2008 (14:11:08) (137 reads)
Karina called to let us know she's finished the manuscript of Live and Let Fly. This was one of our biggest STUCs (Save The Universe Case).
Like so many of our STUCs, it started simple: our friend, Herald Charlie Wilmot got mugged on the set of Live and Let Fly, where he'd planned to propose to his girlfriend, Heather Haskell, who has the role as the latest Chiles Chick. However, we soon realized that the mugging had higher aims and bad timing: the thief, a real pro, had been after information about the Interdimensional Gap, information Charlie had dropped off to his contact hours earlier. Grace and i get drafted into the Bureau of Interdimensional Law Enforcement, which I'm not supposed to tell you about because "the people don't need to know the government has BILE." So pretend you didn't read that.
The baddies then kidnap Heather to trade for the information, but we go charging to the rescue--without BILE, a long story you can read about--and face clueless minions, a Six Sigma Evil Overlord, killer animatronic monsters, and a lethal board game. On the bright side, I got to eat the Evil Overlord's hand. The circumstances weren't funny, but the cheap jokes afterward were. Got to hand it to that McThing...
Grace picked up some information on McThing's nefarious plans, which took us and CIA agent "Rakness, Stan Rakness" to Bandar Baru. That's what I get for wishing we could have a week on a tropical island. I had to be human for the majority of the mission. Sunburn, mosquitoes, sore feet, women wanting to drag me behind the potted plant... Give me my dragon form any day! Still, it might have been fun, if it hadn't been for the active volcano, the Faerie Norse goddess trying to induce Ragnarok in the Mundane universe, the trip to Hel and back, and trying to capture a shapeshifting Loki while he tried to drag me and Sister Micheala Joan into the searing lava. At least the USMC came just in time to help out--Semper fi!--as did the Faerie Inquisition. Bet you weren't expecting that. (Incidentally, Inquisition has the same motto; no wonder they got along with the Marines so well.)
The manuscript is due to Swimming Kangaroo in November, which means Karina has two months to gripe at me about my use of passive voice. Magic, Mensa and Mayhem comes out in February, and Live and Let Fly will probably be out in the Fall--but that's only a guess. SK hasn't said anything about it yet.

About Karina Fabian
What People Say About DragonEye, PI:
A good example of both comic relief and a story that keeps the reader on their toes is Karina Fabian's Dragon Eye, P.I. I look forward to meeting Vern again as Karina expands his repertoire of adventures.
--Bibliophile's Retreat
Publisher's Weekly: Well-imagined and densely plotted with distinctly memorable and occasionally silly characters and groan-worthy puns.
Magic, Mensa & Mayhem made me laugh, everything from quiet chuckles to outright snorts. --Jody Lynn Nye
