MidAmericon II, the 74th Worldcon, seems to be almost upon us. I’ll be in Kansas City next week for the event, armed with a credit card and a light convention schedule. There are two Wild Cards-related events I’ll be attending as a panelist/signing author. One is the big Wild Cards signing at Rainy Day Books…

I just got back from New Mexico, where I spent three days visiting friends and attending some fun Wild Cards events. The first was an “in-character” interview done for the audience at the Jean Cocteau Cinema. Due to the fact that I got into Albuquerque a little late, I got to the theater halfway through…

So there’s this thing at George R.R. Martin’s Cocteau Cinema next Sunday. There will be nineteen Wild Cards authors, old and new, for a fun little event with a signing session afterwards. You can read the details on GRRM’s not-a-blog here. I’ll be there as well to represent the Junior Woodchuck contingent of the Wild…
worldcon and wild cards.
I’ll be in Kansas City for MidAmericon II, the 2016 Worldcon, in a little over a month. I’m not on any official programming, but there are two events I’ll be joining: the Wild Cards signing on Friday, August 19th from 5-8pm, and a Wild Cards panel on Saturday, August 20, from 3-5. We’ll be doing…
a wild blog update appears!
If I’m less active on social media at the moment, it’s because I am finishing up FIELDS OF FIRE, Frontlines #5, for delivery to my publisher. (FIELDS OF FIRE already has a pre-order page if you want to put your order in early, but be aware that the delivery date is provisional and can change.)…
the cost of going to a con.
I went to ConFusion in Detroit last weekend and a had a terrific time meeting old friends and making new ones. (It marked the first time a fan recognized my name in the elevator and got all excited. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.) I tend to do the local cons regularly because I can drive to those and…

2016 already?
I’ve been an awful blogger in 2015. I’m pretty active on Twitter and Facebook, but I use them mostly to stay in touch with friends and family (Facebook), and dash off one -liners and short thoughts as they pop into my head during the day (Twitter). But the long form requires one to actually sit…

Hey, look at that! ANGLES OF ATTACK made the semifinals in the science fiction category of the Goodreads Choice Awards. Thanks to all of you who voted for Space Kablooie #3. And feel free to vote for it some more! I spent the weekend at World Fantasy Con in Saratoga Springs, NY. I didn’t bother…
brief nycc 2015 weekend recap.
I spent last weekend at NY Comic Con in the Big Apple. As usual, it was a ton of fun, although the teeming mass of humanity that is the Javits Center at Comic Con is something I have to take in limited doses. I did a signing at the 47North booth, a panel with other…
