So my very first Dragoncon is in the books and I gotta say, with a few exceptions I had the best time of my life. So without much ado, rewind to 9 days ago... I was going to leave Wednesday originally but work requirements prevented this from happening. So instead I left the house at … Continue reading 2018 Dragoncon AAR (and long awaited update)
Appearances
Libertycon 27 AAR
So Libertycon 27 came to a close and all in all, it went tremendously well. I met new people, made new friends, ran into old friends, made a fool of myself (this is typical) and am now dealing with a very screwed up sleep schedule. So I rolled into Libertycon about three in the afternoon … Continue reading Libertycon 27 AAR
Guest Blogging Elsewhere and Libertycon Schedule
I guest blogged over at Sarah Hoyt's site today. More on the Marion Zimmer Bradley issue, how it relates, and me asking why the SFWA hasn't kicked out their 2013 Grand Master and open pederast Samuel Delaney. I, uh, kinda lost my cool a bit. I'm going radio silent for the weekend. I won't be … Continue reading Guest Blogging Elsewhere and Libertycon Schedule
Mysticon Schedule
I'm going to be a little busy at Mysticon next weekend, but fear not! I'll be manning the fan table for the Official Honor Harrington Fan Association: The Royal Manticoran Navy quite a bit, so I'll be very easy to find. 5:00PM Friday -- Cats On A Keyboard: Basically we'll be talking about our pets and how … Continue reading Mysticon Schedule
The Accidental Lecture
I sent off Homeworld: Rockfall to my coauthor Eric Brown yesterday afternoon. The first draft is done (yeah, I was slacking) and though it "only" took about 5 weeks to write, that was a rough five weeks. While the book itself isn't the longest thing I've ever written (I'm looking at you, Corruptor) it is, by far, … Continue reading The Accidental Lecture
LC26 AAR
Ah, Libertycon... where sleep goes to die. As usual, I had a blast at the convention and would like to thank Brandy and Derek Spraker, as well as the rest of the Libertycon staff, for putting on one hell of a con. The food was good (except I forgot to mention my onion allergy, which … Continue reading LC26 AAR
Libertycon 26 Schedule
I meant to do this last week but real life interfered. Okay, so here is my schedule (according to the LC26 website): FRIDAY 5:00 PM -- Opening Ceremonies: Pretty self explanatory, though I may just be hanging out near the back of the room. That's where I usually am during huge crowd gatherings, since I don't … Continue reading Libertycon 26 Schedule
Dreamers in Hell Available
Dreamers in Hell is now available for Kindle over at Amazon. The print version should be up within 24 hours (if, like me, that's what you prefer). I'm pretty certain that if you order by the end of the week, you'll have it in your hands in time to get 13 of the authors to sign … Continue reading Dreamers in Hell Available
Mysticon 2013 AAR
So it's late Sunday afternoon at Soldier's Retreat and I'm coming down off of the high that was the awesomeness of Mysticon 2013. Finally got to meet Col. Tom Kratman in person, which was a hoot, because that man can tell a story. Had to keep it relatively PG-13, however, due to the underage midgets … Continue reading Mysticon 2013 AAR
Accomplish-y Writer
I feel all accomplish-y right now. Put up a review of Maurice Broaddus' King Maker, which is a fascinating retelling of the King Arthur legends, over at Shiny Book Review. I also cleaned my kitchen, did the litter boxes, and (almost) took out the trash. I mean, I saw that it was almost full, so it's not like I'm … Continue reading Accomplish-y Writer
Overcommitted Is A Word
Yesterday was weird. I got home, and the next thing I knew it was time to go back to work. I did literally nothing yesterday. No writing. No creating. No editing. No painting. No eating. I don't think I'm sick. But I did miss my word count goal as a result, which has set me back about … Continue reading Overcommitted Is A Word
Mysticon 2013 Schedule
So I received my print copy of What Scares the Boogeyman? in the mail just now. It looks nice, if a bit on the thin side. But since it's only 200+ pages or so, that is to be expected. You can order it now at Amazon and-- --holy crap my computer just scared me! It started my … Continue reading Mysticon 2013 Schedule
Sunday Blatherings
Taking a breather from this writing marathon that's hit me today. It feels good, but it also dredges up some bad moments of "Whoops... did I mean that?" when reviewing scenes I'd already finished off. A lot of the problem is that it's difficult for me to keep the voices of Gabriel and Andrew (oh, … Continue reading Sunday Blatherings
MidSouthCon — Ready Or Not
Well, I'm officially listed as a professional guest for the upcoming MidSouthCon in March 2013. This addition brings the total conventions up to three for next year. Yeah, unlike a lot of authors, I really don't do too many conventions. Finances and all that, y'know? More than four per year is unmanageable. I'm still not … Continue reading MidSouthCon — Ready Or Not
Brainfart Week
Total. Mental. Brainfart. FandomFest went well enough I suppose, though half of my time there was spent trying to find my panel rooms. The hotel was a rat maze that begged to be used in a horror flick ala Saw. Jigsaw would have a field day with the crazy assed layout of the Galt House … Continue reading Brainfart Week
