[Spotlight Post] Tiffany Franzoni & Roll2Play
Hey, look a Friday spotlight post that’s actually a spotlight! Today, I’m going to introduce some of you to Tiffany Franzoni – owner and operator of Roll2Play game store, and all around cool person. She not only runs a great business, she put on a heckuva event called T.A.B.L.E. this past weekend. I admit, I’ve […]
[Spotlight Post] Aaron Allston – Goodbye My Friend
I was struggling with what today’s spotlight post was going to be about, and if maybe it was time to find something new to do with Friday’s. I started scrolling through Facebook and saw random pictures with Aaron Allston in them, but didn’t make the connection until I got an IM from Jimmy: Did you […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW and What’s Ahead
Okay, so this week is moving right along, and look, here it is, Wednesday. And since last weekend was ConDFW, it’s pretty much a given that I’m going to talk about that. ConDFW is one of my home conventions. It’s the one that gave me my start in conventions as a writer. I’ve gone through […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW, SFWA, and Distractions
Welcome to Writer Post Wednesday. This has been a Super-Squirrel Week. My focus has been…lacking. Part of it is coming down to the last show of my Winter Marathon (ConDFW starts in about 48 hours). Part of it is Texas Weather Roulette – last week ice and snow; this week, Spring. Go figure. Part of […]
[Writer Post] Sci Fi Expo Report
Sci Fi Expo was last weekend. I have survived two of my three shows in five weeks. ConDFW looms on the horizon. I’m looking forward to ConDFW as a more relaxing time, even though it’s the longest of my three shows. The literary conventions tend to be less intense than the comic book shows, which […]

[Writing Post] Squirrel Brain, Epub, and Me
Welcome to Texas, we’re in frantic preparations for the possible “Icemeggedon” that could occur on Friday. The Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas isn’t quite as bad as Birmingham was when I lived there. Here there’s just a run on water, milk, bread, firewood – you know the essentials. In Birmingham, that threat induced grocery frenzy […]
[Spotlight Post] Reign vs. Renaissance Festivals
So, this is supposed to be a spotlight post – where I focus on something or someone good. But in a way it’s going to be part rant, and I apologize for that, but I’m going to get this off my chest. I watched Reign last night on the CW. I should’ve heeded warnings and […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Delayed and Impromtu Review – Late
I didn’t get a blog up yesterday. Not even a rerun. I was involved with FenCon until about 2pm yesterday. Though I managed to get all of last week’s blogs up and running, this one did not happen. I did pick up an AMAZING promotional pen from Lee Killough. It’s a space shuttle pen. Writes […]
