Fanboy and Cosplay
Since I promised my younglings cosplay pictures, I took as many as I could. It’s always great fun to see the costumes people dress up in, and the fandoms they pay tribute to! tion

Fanboy Expo and Other Plans
This weekend I will be in Knoxville, working with the lovely Mystik Waboose at her booth at Fanboy Expo. You can find me, my books, and some super geeky t-shirts there all three days. I don’t have a booth number – I’ll try to update that once I know, more likely on social media than…

AAR: Indiana ComicCon
This one isn’t much of a story to tell… I was there to help a friend out and make some money, and I accomplished both. I also had a very good time and it was a much-needed break for me. Not that I was lolling around – I barely left the booth in the two…

Indiana ComicCon
I will be at the Indiana ComicCon this coming weekend, the end of the month. You’ll be able to find me in Booth 606 in the exhibitor’s hall, where I will be booth babe for Mystik Waboose, purveyors of fine geek apparel. T-shirts to show your fandom to the world, labcoats for the mad scientists, they…

Millennicon Schedule
Hey! Last minute, I know, but if anyone is local or was planning this con anyway, I’ll be there! The First Reader will be, too. You’ll know him because he’ll be near me and have the Hat. I’m going to have works in the Art Show. I’m not sure which ones, I’m dithering over what…

LibertyCon 28 AAR
I have covered some of this in previous posts, so you know that we arrived on Thursday at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo. We arrived at noon, intending to link up with the rest of the wedding party participants but with missed communications instead spent some wonderful time hanging out Jonna Hayden (thank you so much for…

All Good Things
Our time at the convention is drawing to a close. It never ceases to amaze me how much we can pack into just three days. I’ve wished I could twin myself several times, there has been so much to see and do that I couldn’t possibly fit it all in. The First Reader and the…

LibertyCon Morning
During the con my friend James Schardt is helping us out by printing a case for the Little Man’s birthday present, a raspberry Pi. I will put up pictures of that when I can – hit a snag in having the wrong size SD card to boot it. Whoops! But this little thing is pretty…

It’s Friday? When Did that Happen?
It’s been a long and interesting week already! But the fun is just beginning. Most of the week I have not only been away from keyboard, but internet, cell service, and civilization. We stayed at Pickett State Park and there was nothing for miles. It wasn’t perfect, but that separation was certainly peaceful. Until yesterday…

Under a Big Tent
“And that is why the Sad Puppies campaign is important. In recent years, my rate of “discovery” of new cool authors has slowed to a crawl – and I’m not the only one. Scifi/fantasy literature sales are trending in the wrong direction at a meteoric rate. When I was 15, award-winning meant great fiction. Now…

An Author at a Con
James Young is guest posting at the Mad Genius Club today, writing about what is entailed in being an author-vendor at a con-of-size. The first thing a person should do in order to prepare for any event is do some research. For instance, if you look through previous news clippings, you’ll find that KC Planet…

LTUE AAR
I’m home from the trip to Utah. I have learned a lot: Provo has the most amazing mountains looming over it, and fantastic restaurants (I think we did our best to eat our way around the world). I also learned that as I was told, LTUE is not a fan con. It is a symposium…
