    You know I love cruises. You know I love conventions. You better believe that I was one of the first people signed up when this convention on a cruise was announced!

  • June Wrap-Up & July Goals

    Whew, June was a crazy month! Two releases within 2 weeks sounded like a good idea at the time, especially with connected stories, but my brain was absolutely fried.

    I’m once again late in posting a con report, and I can’t even blame con crud this time! Instead, I was busy finally finishing the first draft of my next novel. Good news: It’s done, and now you get a con report! I missed out on Balticon last year because I was on a cruise…

    After a hiatus last year (okay, I went on a cruise), I’m returning to my original, hometown convention this weekend for Balticon 58!

  • April Wrap-Up & May Goals

    Did I finish the rough draft of my current WIP last month? Not exactly.

Even better, I have the official cover…

    The only thing worse than losing a week to being sick? Finally feeling better, catching your spouse’s cold and getting sick a second time, and starting the next month already behind schedule. Luckily, life craziness is why I always pad my writing schedules, so I’m in no danger of missing any deadlines. (And I promise…

  • Con Report: Farpoint 2024

    I usually try to get my con reports written and posted by the Wednesday after the event. Unfortunately, I came down with an awful sinus infection right after attending this event, which is why my write-up of Farpoint 2024 was delayed a week. Though the resulting con crud was awful, I still had an overall…
