Con Report: FanX Salt Lake City 2019
Looking for my alternate history presentation to download? Scroll down! As has become annual tradition, the spouse and I celebrated our anniversary by traveling to FanX Salt Lake City. We had a blast this year, both participating in and attending panels, and my alternate history presentation made a successful reprisal. We flew to Utah last … Continue reading Con Report: FanX Salt Lake City 2019
August Wrap-Up & September Goals
Some new changes in the format this month! Don't be scared, all the cool stuff you're used to is still here. I've had a great month, and I'm excited to share all my news with you. The first good news: Steel Shadows has been released into the wild! This is the fifth book in the … Continue reading August Wrap-Up & September Goals
Con Report: Pulpfest 2019
Pulpfest, held outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is not a convention I would have attended normally, but my publisher held an event there and I wouldn't have missed that for the world. Raw Dog Screaming Press celebrated their sixteenth anniversary with readings from many of their authors, and I had a blast spending time with old … Continue reading Con Report: Pulpfest 2019
May Wrap-Up & June Goals
So much reading! So much traveling! So little writing! Don't look at me like that. You're not shocked either. May Wrap-Up My progress toward Steel Justice this month was super nebulous, but I did figure out where my hang-up was. There is a plan in place toward overcoming it, and I'm cautiously optimistic. I had … Continue reading May Wrap-Up & June Goals
Balticon 53 Schedule!
Once again, I look forward to returning to my local convention this year, Balticon 53 in Baltimore's Inner Harbor over Memorial Day weekend. And by local, I mean that I literally worked 2 blocks away from the host hotel for over 10 years. It will be super easy to find me this year, since for … Continue reading Balticon 53 Schedule!
StokerCon 2019 Schedule!
I'm excited to attend my first StokerCon this week, in Grand Rapids, Michigan! This is not a convention I plan to attend normally, but the stars aligned to make attending this year too awesome to pass up, such as my publisher Raw Dog Screaming Press winning this year's Specialty Press Award. For most of the … Continue reading StokerCon 2019 Schedule!
November Wrap-Up & December Goals
This month, it feels like I wrote all the words, read all the books, and went to all the conventions. Okay, it's actually about 32k words, 15 novels, 8 short stories, 3 graphic novels, and 2 conventions. Still a hell of a month. Obviously, that 32k words means that I did NOT "win" NaNoWriMo. As … Continue reading November Wrap-Up & December Goals
ChessieCon 2018 Schedule
This weekend, I will be recovering from Thanksgiving by hanging out at the Red Lion Hotel Baltimore North for ChessieCon 2018! My schedule is below. I'm not staying at the convention hotel for this one, so give me a shout if you want to meet up for coffee or a meal. As usual, the best … Continue reading ChessieCon 2018 Schedule
Con Report: World Fantasy 2018
When a professional convention in your field is literally in your back yard (or at least 2 blocks away from where you used to work for 12 years), there's really no excuse not to go. And I'm so glad that I attended World Fantasy 2018 in Baltimore, MD! THURSDAY I worked from home on Thursday … Continue reading Con Report: World Fantasy 2018
World Fantasy 2018 Schedule
I'm very excited to attend World Fantasy this year! It's in Baltimore, so I really have no excuse not to be there. I think it'll be a great opportunity for me to start meeting agents BEFORE I have a novel to pitch to them (the UFO book, which gets written in 2020!), so it will … Continue reading World Fantasy 2018 Schedule
Author Interview with Allan C. R. Cornelius
I'm always thrilled to support fellow graduates of the Seton Hill University Writing Popular Fiction program, even if I've never had the opportunity to meet them in person! Today, I'm happy to host dark fantasy author Allan Cornelius and ask him some questions about his debut novel. ABOUT THE BOOK When you’ve done the unthinkable, … Continue reading Author Interview with Allan C. R. Cornelius
Con Report: Capclave 2018
This weekend was amazing, and I'm absolutely exhausted. (I apologize in advance that this con report will not be as in-depth as usual.) I'm very glad that spent the weekend at the hotel, despite Capclave being a "local" convention to where I live (Rockville, Maryland, is a 40-minute drive from my house without traffic). But … Continue reading Con Report: Capclave 2018
Capclave 2018 Schedule
This weekend I'll be attending Capclave, sponsored by the Washington Science Fiction Association, for the first time! Even though it's a fairly local convention to me, I'll be staying at the hotel for the full experience, and I'm excited to spend time with everyone who will be there. Below is my schedule for the weekend, … Continue reading Capclave 2018 Schedule
Author Interview with Jessica McHugh
By now, you all know that I'm a total wuss. I don't like jump scares. I can do gore in movies/on television because I desensitized myself through a research binge on practical effects, but there's no protective layer between the visceral on the page and my imagination. So while I desperately wanted to read Jessica … Continue reading Author Interview with Jessica McHugh
Con Report: FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2018
Wow. What an absolutely amazing trip. [If you're here to find the copy of my alternate history presentation, you're in the right place! It's included below!] I'm not even going to recap last year, because this year blew it out of the water. I was honored to be invited back, and I hope to return … Continue reading Con Report: FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2018
FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2018 Schedule
This weekend I will be attending my second FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention (formerly Salt Lake Comic Con)! My husband joins me at this con, and we use it as our annual anniversary celebration because it falls near the date of our wedding. We have a great time people-watching, spending too much money on nerdy … Continue reading FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention 2018 Schedule
August Wrap-Up & September Goals
I didn't travel anywhere this month, but I still managed to have plenty of adventures! The highlights of the month were definitely the cover reveal for my next book, Steel Time, and buying the very first new car for either of us with my husband, a Tesla Model 3! Other fun things included some home … Continue reading August Wrap-Up & September Goals
Author Interview with Shannon Eichorn
To celebrate the release of her first novel, I was delighted to interview author Shannon Eichorn about topics near and dear to both of our hearts. If you're at DragonCon this weekend, be sure to track her down in the armory and pick up a copy of Rights of Use for yourself! For those of … Continue reading Author Interview with Shannon Eichorn
July Wrap-Up & August Goals
Another summer month has flown by. I'm going to be honest -- my production on the creative side has been crap. Even the unbuilt LEGO sets calling my name from my guest room haven't been motivation enough to get work done. I'm not going to stop working on the Steel Empires series. But after 4 … Continue reading July Wrap-Up & August Goals
