[Spotlight Post] Nicole Pellegrini – Renaissance Woman
This has to be a fast spotlight because today is super busy. About to head eastward for the East Texas Book Festival tomorrow, and I’m not even packed yet. Yikes. So I’m not even going to be able to mention all the things she does, is, and everything… This week’s spotlight post is on Nicole […]
[Spotlight Post] Marilyn Eudaly – Rising Talent and Birthday Girl
So Friday is spotlight day. And after a week of hectic running around, housecleaning, family birthdays–with one still to go which means I have to keep the house clean until Monday–and it’s a gray, gloomy day before a 3-day weekend. I admit to being a bit at a loss of who or what to spotlight. […]
[Spotlight Post] Rosemary Clement-Moore
I’ve written about Rosemary Clement-Moore, or at least about one of her books. She deserves a revisit -as an all-around writer instead of a project specific thing. So, today, we take another look at Rosemary. Though MAYBE I should have waited since, according to Amazon, she has an omnibus of a couple of the Maggie […]
[Spotlight Post] Kasey Lansdale – Musican, Actor, Editor, and More
This week’s spotlight, Kasey Lansdale…one of the hardest working, most versatile young women I know. But that’s because her mom and dad raised her to be enterprising. For those of you who are horror readers (or fans of “Texas Weird”) and having been around the SF convention circuit, you’ve seen Kasey. She’s Joe R. Lansdale’s […]
[Spotlight Post] Katy Stauber and Spin the Sky
This week’s spotlight is on Katy Stauber, a fellow redheaded author who’s based in Austin. I initially met Katy on a panel at ArmadilloCon in 2011 and immediately hit it off with her. She’s so much fun. Fellow writers, if you have the opportunity to work with her at a convention, DO IT. Night Shade […]
[Spotlight Post] Julie Dillon ArmadilloCon 34 Artist Guest of Honor
In continuing our ArmadilloCon Theme…I’ll finish up the week with Julie Dillon. I’ll admit I’d never heard of her before — but art is more of Jimmy’s area, not mine. But I know her now, and I’ll definitely be keeping my ears open for news of her. Julie is a delightful person. We met her […]
[Spotlight Post] Sara Felix – Artist
Because it’s ArmadilloCon weekend–and because in part of my FenCon staff role I scared the heck out of her–this week’s spotlight is on Sara Felix. Sara’s a fantastic artist who has also been suckered into the wonderful, glamorous role of convention organizer. She’s this year’s conchair for ArmadilloCon. Bwa hahahaha. According to her website (which […]
[Spotlight] This Week’s Spotlight is Preempted… Except for an ArmadilloCon Programming Preview
This has been a crazy week with job nibbles — including about 3 hours of software assessments that have left me completely brain much. A new self-publishing endeavor (it does seem to be coming together, though last night’s events may or may not effect that) has presented itself this week. Here’s hoping it works out. […]
[Spotlight Post] Tanya Huff and the Confederation Novels
This week’s spotlight post is on Tanya Huff in general and the Confederation Book series in general. Tanya Huff was recently the Guest of Honor at ApolloCon. Now, as a “networking tool” I try to read something by the GOHs of the conventions I attend, so that if we’re trapped in an elevator (or some […]
[Spotlight Post] The Higgs Boson and The Big Bang Theory
It’s a spotlight post day, and I’m coming up a little blank. It’s not that I’ve run out of wonderful people to highlight, it’s focusing on ONE. Actually, being a holiday week, it’s simply a matter of focusing…and not actually doing it. So let’s spotlight the Higgs-Boson Particle…well, seriously, the only reason I know about […]
