I'm so glad we can now say "hey, check out this awesome book we've worked so hard on!" Coming this November is Chicks Unravel Time: Women Journey Through Every Season of Doctor Who, being published by Mad Norwegian Press. It's the sister companion to the Hugo Award winning Chicks Dig Time Lords book, except this time over 30 contributors dissect every season of the series from its inception in 1963.
I was fortunate enough to contribute an essay on season five of the classic series. I know a few other fantastic ladies that have contributed essays on various seasons of the show and it's all really, really exciting!
Many thanks to Deb Stanish for giving me the opportunity to submit an essay, and both she and LM Myles for their incredibly hard work editing so many essays from so many people! November 13th can't come soon enough!
You can pre-order a copy of the book on Amazon, and keep an eye out for more information in the months leading up to its release.

The sister book to the 2011 Hugo Award-winning Chicks Dig Time Lords…
In Chicks Unravel Time, Deborah Stanish and L.M. Myles bring together a host of award-winning female writers, media professionals and scientists to examine each season of new and classic Doctor Who from their unique perspectives.
Diana Gabaldon discusses how Jamie McCrimmon inspired her best-selling Outlander series, and Barbara Hambly (Benjamin January Mysteries) examines the delicate balance of rebooting a TV show. Seanan McGuire (Toby Daye series) reveals the power and pain of waiting in Series 5, and Una McCormack (The King’s Dragon) argues that Sylvester McCoy’s final year of Doctor Who is the show’s best season ever.
Other contributors include Juliet McKenna (Einarrin series), Tansy Rayner Roberts (Power and Majesty), Sarah Lotz (The Mall), Martha Wells (The Cloud Roads), Joan Frances Turner (Dust), Rachel Swirsky (“Fields of Gold”), Aliette de Bodard (Obsidian and Blood series) and Amal El-Mohtar (The Honey Month).
