Back From Balticon!
And a good time was had by all. Saw a lot of old friends and made some new ones! That's what I love about Broad Universe. The networking. I've met so many wonderful writers who've become friends.
What's Broad Universe? It's an international non profit dedicated to promoting women writers of speculative fiction, of which I happen to be its President. BU sponsors tables at various conventions at which members can sell their books (this year, I sold several).
Here's something amusing. A woman walked up to me and handed me her card, introducing herself as a rocket scientist from Johns Hopkins. Balticon was her first con, and she was there to solicit ideas for projects Johns Hopkins might initiate. Just goes to show you--imagination is always the starting point. I tried to think of something, but all I could come up with was making the ion drive commercially viable. But NASA's already working on that.
My Balticon radio show went very well. What? I never told you? I'm doing a series of radio shows on Fridays at 2 PM Eastern (US) talking about life, the universe, and everything about writing and being an author. This week, I'm talking about reviews. If you're able to join me, here's the link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/closeupt...
If you miss the show, it'll be archived on my website, www.roxannebland.rocks.
That's all for now. Later, gators!
