Hugo Awards and CoNZealand Fringe
So, in addition to becoming a bestselling author for the first time in my life, I found out the day after the Hugo Awards winners were announced that I'd been long-listed for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer.

Shaken, Not Stirred
Yesterday I was curled up in a chair, ignoring my finicky WiFi and playing Farm Heroes on my phone - which has it's own internet - when I got momentarily dizzy and thought I felt my armchair shake.
