RadCon Preparations

Yep, next weekend I’ll be at RadCon SF convention in Pasco, WA. I do have some misgivings, since we see rabid anti-masking demonstrations there on the local news. However, I sell more books through public appearances than anywhere else. I also want to support the RadCon organization. So I’m mentally preparing myself to respond if questioned about wearing a mask. (“Mind your own business,” but spoken very graciously.)

I’m also in preliminary stages of planning what to bring, packing my case with books, getting laundry done ahead, what food we need to bring, and other such matters. And I’m trying to bring Tale of the Drakanox to a good stopping point before I go. Any scenes I sketch during the weekend will fuel me the following week.

This is my schedule at the moment. I’m trying to get a reading time, and I’m also hoping to get some time in the game room for an Animal Crossing visit. In general, though, I’m glad to be on some of the more substantial writing panels.

Saturday is my busy day. At 2 pm, I’m moderating a panel on “Point of View.” About five other authors are joining me, and I’m pleased that the topic I suggested was so well received. Then at 6 pm I have “Using Topes Effectively” and at 7 pm “Building Characters.” Since I just did my series of posts on games and writing, I feel like I’m well prepared for that one.

On Sunday I have just one panel, at 11 am. “Social Media and the Independent Writer” is another topic with a lot to say, and it should be fun.

Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my web site, Facebook, Instagram and/or Twitter.
