Preparation

I did finish a second draft of the anthology story, the one with the superheroes. That clears me to start working on the final text of Acorn Canyon, which I’m excited to do. But first, I have a convention!

Just-A-Con is a relaxacon coming up September 20-22nd. A relaxacon means instead of intensive programming over the full weekend that keeps everyone super busy, there will be just one programming room and a gaming room for people to dip in and play or talk about whatever they like.

I don’t have a firm schedule yet, but there are things I’m committed to be part of. The major one is a “galactic emporium” where people can swap their books, games, puzzles, etc for other ones. There’s a panel on Saturday morning for speculating about the forthcoming Dragon Age game, Veilguard. Of course I plan to do a reading, which will be Saturday afternoon. On Saturday night, there is the possibility of a memorial for a couple of local authors, M. J. Engh and Bruce Taylor.

I also offered to host an Animal Crossing treasure hunt on my island, for Sunday morning. I might make it a costume challenge! Those are always very fun.

So this weekend, I need to start preparing for Just-A-Con. There are swap items to pack, signs to print, and my reading to choose. But I’ll still peek in on Acorn Canyon when I get the chance!

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 website, Bluesky, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram.
