		<title>Infinitus, Part the First</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was promised monsoon season in Tucson. Robyn was all like, &#8220;Oh, the skies will open and we&#8217;ll be drenched and it will make that sound on the roof you like so much,&#8221; and I was all, &#8220;Hurrah! For I do not think I can manage six weeks in Tucson in the summer without rain!&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Events and Such</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello internets! Are you having a lovely summer/winter [delete whichever is inappropriate]? I sure am. I have been having a nice relaxing break of learning how to do front kicks and back bear hug throws, and also of reading a lot of theory. I sometimes think critical theorists are the wackiest science fiction authors there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Local Customs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I celebrated the cute American holiday of Independence Day, which takes place every July 4th. Robyn and Jimmy don&#8217;t have an American flag at home, because they are unpatriotic! So I grew one in a jar. I realise that most of my readers will be entirely ignorant of this holiday, which receives little world-wide [...]]]></description>

		<title>Privileged Person Problems</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ROBYN: Please don&#8217;t bite me while I&#8217;m using tools. ME: I haven&#8217;t bitten you in AGES. It has recently been borne into me that maybe people don&#8217;t normally get hungry like I do? Like maybe for normal people it goes something like this: Stage 1: Not hungry. Stage 2: Little bit hungry. Stage 3: Starting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Demons and Magicians and Dancers, Oh My</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Internets, let&#8217;s talk about books, a subject dear to my heart. Specifically, let&#8217;s talk about a book dear to my heart, Sarah Rees Brennan&#8217;s The Demon&#8217;s Covenant. Sarah and I met over the internets via mutual friend and scary brilliant person, Justine Larbalestier. An admirer of Sarah&#8217;s work in fiction and non-fiction, especially The Demon&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Actual Fan Email, Actual Response</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hi Karen, As a child (I am now an elderly 21) I loved geckos. At After School Care we would collect gecko eggs to take them home and put them in cotton wool lined egg cups, waiting for them to hatch. At home I kept my school bag outside, hanging from a rack on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Which I Talk To Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last time on Karen&#8217;s exciting poll of what she should write about next, being paralysed by her choices, the winner was That Massive Pile Of Books She Has Consumed Recently. You bastards. These are the books sitting on the bottom shelf of my lovely new bookshelf, which means I have read them since arriving [...]]]></description>

		<title>Out Into The World.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Internets, as I may have intimated previously, I am heading to the USA from late May until the end of July. America! Land of freeways and supercheap books! I am going to be doing some stuff while I am there. Everyone likes stuff, don&#8217;t they? Perhaps you would like to come and see me do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Adult Fic, I Read That Too</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oh, internets, it has been so long since I babbled at you about book related matters. And yet, books! They are the centerpiece of my life! So it is about time I did. I am a young adult fiction writer, and thus primarily a young adult fiction reader by both career and preference, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Queen of the Kitchen Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Internets, you may remember the story I wrote and sent out last year in lieu of Christmas cards, Queen of the Kitchen. I really like that story, but it was looking a little sad on the page. What it needed, I thought, was colour. Life. ARTWORK. So I commissioned an illustration from K. Smirnov, and [...]]]></description>
