    FenCon 2022 AAR

    TL:DR: Had a blast, wore myself out, and have no regrets! FenCon last year was my first experience with this con, and on a whim I’d gotten a table to commit commerce, which also turned into having friend’s books and wares on that table. The week after the con, the vote was taken and North…

  • FenCon 2022

    FenCon 2022

    I’ll be out of pocket all weekend, in Irving, Texas at FenCon. A small literary SFF con, I’d attended last year and had a lot of fun. This year I’m going back, and there will be even more fun! A lot of friends will be there, and I’m really looking forward to seeing folks.  My…

  • TulKon AAR

    TulKon AAR

    This was a first for me. Not just Tulkon, although I hadn’t attended this con before (for good reason, see below) but the pace of this spring’s conventions for me. I’ve done three cons in five weeks, starting with FantaSci at the end of March in North Carolina, where I was a guest. I’d followed…

  • Book Launches and TulKon

    Book Launches and TulKon

    It’s been an exciting month. Buying a home, seeing an anthology come out with a story of mine in it, and now? AstroLizards is live! Ebook and paper copies are available at your convenience. Please don’t forget to leave a review!  The last of my three collaborations with Lawdog, it’s a collection of three of…

  • FantaSci 2022 AAR

    FantaSci 2022 AAR

    Teal Deer: Great con. The venue is great, the size is about perfect for me (roughly 500 this year, which I’m told is small for it) to be comfortable, the folks that run it and the folks that attend are friendly and fun. Go if you can. Longer version! I was invited to be a…

  • FantaSci 2022 Panel Schedule

    FantaSci 2022 Panel Schedule

    I’m in Raleigh, NC all this weekend for the SFF convention, FantaSci As an author guest, which is exciting, and means I’ll be busy!  You can catch me on these panels, and Sunday is a day of relaxation. On Sunday my Dad will be hanging out with me until I leave for home, and I…

    FenCon Schedule

    So! I will be at a lovely convention this coming weekend. You would have had more notice, but it’s been that kind of year. However, if you are already planning on being there, you might want to catch me on a panel. Or you can find the Little Man in the dealer room selling books…

  • Cincinnati Comic Expo

    Cincinnati Comic Expo

    So I know I said I wasn’t doing cons for the forseeable future. I’m not. But if you happen to be at this one you’ll be able to find me at Booth 520 all weekend. I’m hanging out with friend and fellow author James Young, who will be hawking his excellent books, his lovely wife…

  • LTUE AAR: Day 2 and 3

    LTUE AAR: Day 2 and 3

    My friend and fellow troub…. er, author, James Young, challenged me a bit to finish this up in his look back at LTUE. It’s been, in my defense, a very busy couple of weeks. And in many ways I am still digesting everything I crammed into my head over the course of three short but…

  • 2019 LTUE AAR: Day 1

    2019 LTUE AAR: Day 1

    I arrived in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, and after acquiring a rental car – pro-tip, don’t rent from a company whose name you do not recognize, and whose location is far, far off airport. I would not have expected SLC to have a barrio, but I know where it is, now. I was very…

  • LTUE Schedule

    LTUE Schedule

    It’s wet here in Southern Ohio. Very wet. It’s also cold, but that’s a new development. Yesterday it was almost too warm for a coat, unless you didn’t want to get wet. The First Reader was complaining that the backyard was becoming a lake. The river is as high as I’ve ever seen it. I’m…

  • Fun Day: Gem City ComicCon

    Fun Day: Gem City ComicCon

    The Ginja Ninja, Little Man, and I did a con today. It’s a small con very local to us, and I had no idea what to expect. I’d been wanting to check it out since I’d taken a drawing class in college and my professor was involved in getting it started, but life has interfered.…
