Writer Blog – Let the Randomness Continue – Conventions Redux
I don’t know where this week has gone. I’ve been messing up the days in my head all week. Yesterday, I would’ve sworn today was Thursday – which meant I should’ve panicked over this YESTERDAY (but yesterday was Tuesday all day). Somehow my brain is just not comprehending Wednesday this week. Go figure. Prepping for [...]
From the Archive – FenCon V
See I told you this went back a couple of years… I debated about adding this one, but an archive is all of them, and it fits with talking about Soonercon earlier this week. Enjoy… FenCon V is rapidly approaching. FenCon V runs October 3-5, 2008 in Dallas, TX. It is the largest fan-run, literary [...]

Dude! If There was EVER A Reason to Support Fan-Run Conventions…
This has suddenly popped up on Live Journal and other places. And though I believe it, I’m stunned. It started with this article on How Much is Too Much? Apparently Patrick Stewart is charging $200 to have your picture taken with him. No apparent word on how much it’s going to be to get an [...]
Friday and SoonerCon
I’m in my favorite Starbucks – the one, like Cheers where everybody knows my name. And apparently, there was a guy in here earlier who kept looking at me and spoke to me – pleasantries, but still – like he knew me. I do not know who it was, off hand. Thank goodness I have [...]
ConDFW VIII – Sunday – The Last Part
Sunday started out early – so we skipped breakfast. You see, I have a “tradition” of being the Queen of the 10 a.m. Sunday Panel. This time I asked for it, when I talked to the ConCom about my reading (originally there wasn’t one). My choice was Friday at 6 p.m. or Sunday at 10 [...]
ConDFW VIII – The Convention Report – Day 1
I’m going to try to be better about doing convention reports this year. I know I’ve been lax the last couple of years. So, Friday… we got there about 2 p.m. The registration line was long, but the hotel check in wasn’t. We got checked in, I found out I didn’t have to wait in [...]
ConDFW 8 – February 20-22, 2009
This is your heads up post. My first convention appearance of the year is ConDFW 8 February 20-22, 2009. This year it’s in a new hotel – Crowne Plaza Suits Dallas-Park Central. Can’t wait to see what they do with it, and to see Jim Butcher again. And, of course, I’m looking forward to meeting [...]

I will be posting an article a week. I put up my first piece a little early. The topic is near and dear to [...]
