Con Report: Rainbow Writers Cruise 2026
This year, before the Rainbow Readers Cruise, I boarded the Celebrity Reflection a few days early for the Rainbow Writers Cruise! For this 3-day sailing, I enjoyed workshops and activities with my fellow authors, plus time to enjoy being with my “coworkers” in a social setting before the readers joined us. Even more exciting, Rory…

Con Report: RomantiConn 2026
Last month, I took my last road trip of the summer by heading up to Connecticut for RomantiConn 2026!

Thursday…

Con Report: Balticon 60
I’m here, once again, with a late con report! As always, I had a blast at Balticon this year.

Balticon 60 Schedule
Balticon is the first SF/F con I attended as an adult fan, and returning as part of programming is one of the highlights of my year. As much as I adore the new romance community I’ve found, speculative fiction remains my passion, and I love having a few days to catch up with the people…

Con Report: Farpoint 2026
Do I mean to keep letting so long lapse between attending an event and writing up my con report? No. Does life keep interfering, making this task fall far down my priority lists? Alas, yes.

Con Report: Capclave 2025
Sooo… Capclave 2025 was nearly 2 months ago, and I am clearly very late with this con report. Long story short: I was really busy the week after the event, and then the government shut down. The stress tried to eat me. It wasn’t pretty. I did have amazing convention, with panels and a reading…

After attending RomantiConn last year as Rory Maxwell‘s assistant, I was thrilled to be invited as an author in 2025!

Con Report: Pride Litcon 2025
A mere week after getting home from my epic West Coast adventure, I hit the road again! This time, for another new event a little closer to home. Pride Litcon was a single-day book signing in Richmond, Virginia, and yet another new event that I hope continues for years to come. I picked up fellow…

Con Report: Queers & Quills 2025
When this brand new event was announced in spring of 2024, I submitted an interest form simply because you miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. I was both shocked and thrilled to be accepted as a signing author to the first Queers and Quills! I hadn’t been back to the West Coast…
