I’ve had a few issues crop up in my personal life, so I’m posting this a lot later than I planned. I will be at BayCon 2024 – A World of Imagination from July 4th through July 7th. And because I’m a glutton for punishment, I’m on a lot of panels this year. Writing A […]
First, let me remind you of my last post. 😉 My plans posting in the month of October fell through. I didn’t have the mental energy to work on my Halloween posts, mostly because I was busy finishing up my Halloween costume and working on Christmas presents for my coworkers.

The last few weeks have been rough for me, as you can see from how often I’ve been posting. It started just after FogCon. I got hit hard by a cold, despite making sure I slept and stayed hydrated during the con. It knocked me out for about a week. It was all I could
I went to my first Worldcon this year, and it will not be my last. Because my friend Jennifer Carson has access to a vacation rental in Klamath Falls, I decided I would make this a two week vacation. This involves, I kid you not, about six months of prep work making sure that Mom

I’ve been running around like crazy getting ready for WorldCon. I’m at the point of preparations where I question why I do this when it takes so much work to get ready for a vacation. On the plus side, I do have the latest draft of Chaos Wolf finished and out to my beta readers.
