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

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 … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2024
Farpoint 2024 Schedule
I just published my first queer paranormal romance, so where better to share it in public for the first time than a science-fiction convention? Joking aside, while I love speculative fiction in all forms, my life as a nerd began with Star Trek, and I love attending this local convention every year. And yes, I … Continue reading Farpoint 2024 Schedule
Con Report: Farpoint 2023
Last weekend I attended Farpoint, a pop culture convention local to the Baltimore area, as a panelist and presenter on the writing and fandom tracks! As I explained to a handful of authors that I met for the first time during the event, I don't generally attend conventions for the primary purpose of selling books. … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2023

Con Report: Farpoint 2022
Last weekend, the TARDIS (my electric car) finally fulfilled the mandate for which it was originally purchased -- it drove me to a convention! Said convention was only 30 minutes away from my house, so I commuted rather than staying at the hotel, but it was absolutely awesome to attend my first in-person con in … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2022
Farpoint 2022 Schedule!
Two years ago, little did I know that I would be attending my last in-person convention for the foreseeable future. Therefore, it's only appropriate that my first in-person convention in this brave new world we live in would be the same event. I look forward to soaking up the much-missed con environment this weekend at … Continue reading Farpoint 2022 Schedule!
Con Report: Farpoint 2021
Let's face it -- for the weird sorts of introvert like me, who can put that on hold for a certain amount of time to people it up for two or three days at a convention and then hide at home for a week afterward, a virtual event will never be the same. As much … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2021
Farpoint 2021 Schedule
Farpoint 2020 was the last event I attended in person before the world went bonkers. Alas, like so many other conventions, it is being held online this year. I'm pleased to participate in three panels from the comfort of my own home, but you know I'll miss seeing all of your lovely faces. Find more … Continue reading Farpoint 2021 Schedule
January Wrap-Up & February Goals
We thought 2021 would be low-key. Isn't that cute? Instead, there have been some major ups and downs that distracted me from my goals. On the other hand, I also got some great news about my day job--the pandemic proved that we do not need a central office to function, which means my permanent telework … Continue reading January Wrap-Up & February Goals

I attended my third year at Farpoint in Baltimore, Maryland, this past weekend and had an absolute blast spending time with friends and being a panelist on some of my favorite topics.

Con Report: Farpoint 2019
Growing up as a military brat, I always had this sense that once I left a place, I would never be back. While looking for a house in the Baltimore area before sixth grade, my family briefly stayed at a hotel, the Hunt Valley Inn. Therefor, it's always a bit bizarre to be back there … Continue reading Con Report: Farpoint 2019
