FenCon Update

Just a quick update before I hit the road in a few hours and make my way to FenCon XV. The program schedule for the entire event is available online. I am providing My Schedule. It includes a panel about Frankenstein (200th anniversary) and its influence. I was hoping to get on a panel regarding the book & author.

I'll also be reading from Wings of Mercury , although I will probably only be able to offer the novella as a pre-order this weekend (unless I get really lucky and the books happen to be delivered today--fingers crossed but not holding my breath). If you can't make the show and want a copy, it is available at the link above. Just click the title. I should have plenty of copies for Archon in a couple of weeks.

Of course, there's the Yard Dog Roadshow I haven't had time to really communicate with Selina and the group, so I have no idea what the Roadshow may entail. Odds are, it'll be unusual and uncensored.

Each year, for the past six or seven years, I have been a part of the Kid's Writing Workshop along with artist Michael Braun. My partner-in-crime, Mel. White, will also be a part of the class once again.

Another panel will be focusing on the founders of what is known as speculative fiction--Shelley, Verne, Wells, etc. I love the old writers, so this should be a blast.

Then there's the panel on Writing Fight Scenes. Anyone who is familiar with my work knows there is bound to a fight scene (and a death or twenty) in the majority of my work. Probably a deeply ingrained element created by my passion for Robert E. Howard's work.

Beyond that, I've written another 3,000-4,000 words for The Savage Cat Unleashed and have been very busy seeking traditional and online markets to promote Wings of Mercury. Do you review? If so, let me know and we'll talk about the possibility of receiving a review copy.

Were your ears burning? Lisa and I were talking about something and your name came up.

Show went well despite the rain. We had several customers and I had a positive reaction at my reading of Wings of Mercury and sold the proof copies, not to mention took orders for the final version I should, hopefully, receive this week.
