GypsyLaura.comVoice Actor, Writer, Editor, Gypsy Pirate

Do you hear that music of impending doom? I know there was this whole thing about the end of the world today and therefore I must post to my website… because I am a bad blogger and have been neglecting you, my somehow interested audience. Thank you so much for sticking it out with me.

Many of you may have noticed the change of my name on my social networking sites. I got divorced, but I am happier now than I have been, so please don’t feel bad for me. People are in your lives for a reason or season… or something like that. To prevent my having to switch my name around again I am just sticking with two names that I know aren’t going to change, Laura Nicole.

Ok, and on to happier topics. Who wants to know what I have been up to these past few months? Oh, good I see some hands up.  Well, I am working on a weekly article for Flying Island Press called “Please Spay Your Tribbles”. It’s a fun segment to write where I discuss how we would function as a society if we had shinies from Sci-Fi and Fantasy literature. Look for it on Wednesdays.

Gypsy Audio lives and while I am just a writer and voice actor at this point, they are still a part of my life and production is picking up. Among other things, Stargazers EP 2 and Twisted Tales of Faerie are both up for Parsec Awards! Excited? Just a bit.

And then there is Absolution. My precious creation has been recorded and formed and the first chapters are ready to be released. Major props to Ayoub Khote for his  production assistance and my ever resilient PiC, David Sobkowiak for mixing this story! The first chapter will drop Memorial Day Weekend on Scriveners Circle while I am at Balticon.

Now, here is the really cool part. If you are at Balticon, come and find me Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. I will have the first three chapters of Absolution on CD, signed and ready to be listened to by you! I have several panels that I will be on but should have a few CDs with me at all times. As I understand it, my schedule will be:

• Saturday, May 28th- 3pm ~ Galley Table Live w/Guest of Honor – Ben Bova
• Sunday, May 29th – 3pm ~ Dynamic Voice Acting
• Sunday, May 29th – 7pm ~ Autograph Session w/ Philippa Ballantine and Starla Hutchton( Double Squee!)
• Sunday May 29th – 10pm ~ Dirty Mad Libs

As far as I know, all of these events are taking place in the Derby, but check the con schedule to be sure. If you don’t find me there, ask for the mojito girl… people who were there last year might know what I am talking about.

Next post you see from me will be at Balticon. Be sure to check www.ScrivenersCircle.com for new Absolution chapters.
