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 … Continue reading Balticon 60 Schedule
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. Maryland endured an intense, prolonged cold snap from late January into mid February, resulting in my house experiencing a water … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2026

I love kicking off my first in-person event for the year with one of my favorite pop culture conventions!

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 … Continue reading Con Report: Capclave 2025
Capclave 2025 Schedule
For my final event of 2025, I'm coming home. Metaphorically, at least. Capclave is both a local convention for me and an SF/F convention, which is where I started this crazy author journey.

Con Report: Rainbow Readers Cruise 2025
I set sail again last week on the second annual Rainbow Readers Cruise! After having so much fun the year before, I knew this was an event I didn't want to miss, despite my packed summer travel schedule. With my favorite emotional support human/road-trip adventure friend, Rory Maxwell, we flew down to Florida last Sunday … Continue reading Con Report: Rainbow Readers Cruise 2025
July Wrap-Up & August Goals
I know it's been a minute since you've heard from me beyond book recommendations, friends. Since my last monthly update, I've attended book events on both sides of the country, visited my old hometown, gone on an Alaskan cruise, gotten a second tattoo, celebrated a short story acceptance, renovated my closet, and even managed to … Continue reading July Wrap-Up & August Goals
Con Report: RomantiConn 2025
After attending RomantiConn last year as Rory Maxwell's assistant, I was thrilled to be invited as an author in 2025! This event focuses on romance, but the organizers have done an amazing job of mixing various subgenres and gender pairings. Though we were only signing on Saturday, Rory and I made a weekend of this … Continue reading Con Report: RomantiConn 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 … Continue reading Con Report: Pride Litcon 2025
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 … Continue reading Con Report: Queers & Quills 2025

April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Another month, another late start. I promise to try not to make this a habit. Lots happened in April, including two trips, a major deadline, a household milestone, and a long-time dream! The spouse and I briefly escaped to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for a long weekend with my family, where I got … Continue reading April Wrap-Up & May Goals
Con Report: Read the Rainbow 2025
A year or so ago, a queer romance book convention made a questionable decision to change the location of their annual event. In response, multiple new events celebrating queer fiction (romance or otherwise) have sprung up. As a fairly new author to this genre, I've been excited to take advantage of these opportunities. I recently … Continue reading Con Report: Read the Rainbow 2025
March Wrap-Up & April Goals
Let's start this month (which started almost a week ago, appropriately) with a question and a statement. Where did the time go? Time is meaningless. Okay, now that we're on the same page, the rest of this monthly update will make a lot more sense. My work productivity levels were pretty low because I've been … Continue reading March Wrap-Up & April Goals
February Wrap-Up & March Goals
I gave myself a bunch of goals this month...which promptly hit the wall of the real world. Here in the United States, it's a pretty depressing time to work in public health, much less focused on LGBTQIA+ sexual health. Special shout-out here to Taylor J. Gray, with 22 novels from multiple interconnected series, who provided … Continue reading February Wrap-Up & March Goals
Con Report: Farpoint 2025
Last weekend I had a great, chill time at one of my favorite SF/F conventions, Farpoint! Since this is a local event for me, a mere 20 minutes from my house, I commuted instead of staying at the event hotel. I also had a relatively light schedule, compared to most cons where I'm a presenter … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2025
