[Writer Post] Farewell to 2014
Last day of 2014. Wow. Who’d’ve thought we’d ever say that? I remember reading 2014 (and about to be 2015) as dates in Science Fiction. And look, here we are. It’s been a long and winding year. The writing community has seen quite a bit of upheaval in the industry. We’ve said good bye to […]
[Writer Post] SciFi4Me.Com Radio Interview
Last night I was on Internet Radio with SciFi4Me.Com – and it was a cool and weird experience. Let me tell you… I met Jason Hunt from SciFi4Me.com at one of the Dallas Comic Con shows a year or so ago. They were doing random floor interviews with people, and yes, I will talk to […]
[Writing Post] NT Comic Book Show & ArmadilloCon Schedule
Just had the “OH CRAP IT’S WEDNESDAY” brain jolt. Did I know this all day, yep. I knew I had a blog post to write – but I had Day Job pop up with stuff and FenCon Stuff… and well, things cluttered up. But here we are. It’s Wednesday. Upcoming Events… Saturday, January 19th. I’ll […]
[Spotlight Post][Conventions] SoonerCon 23, June 27-29, 2014
It’s a Friday Spotlight Day. It’s also been a…challenging…week. So, since I buried my SoonerCon schedule in the Wednesday Post, I’m going to repost it, with today’s spotlight being SoonerCon. This is a fun convention. They’ve made some changes in the past couple of years to a (in my opinion) better facility. They’re a great […]
[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 […]

[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 […]
[Writer Post] Head in the Game with FenCon Brain
So , today kicks off FenCon Setup – which starts the marathon days for me until Monday afternoon. I deal with the Day Job until 5 pm then meet Jimmy to head over to the hotel to start load in at 6 pm. FenCon has been eating my brain for the last month – that […]
[Spotlight Post] FenCon’s Meredith Hines
This week’s spotlight post is an unsung hero in a lot of ways and a really cool person. Today, I give you someone you may not know, even if you’re in the DFW area – Meredith Hines. Meredith is a burgeoning writer, lover of owls, chocolate and all around SWELL PERSON. When she gets her […]
[Writer Post] FenCon X Preliminary Schedule
It’s a Wednesday Writer Blog Day… and basically all I’ve got the brain power for today is posting my preliminary FenCon Schedule. It doesn’t look like a lot, but it is for me because I’m on staff and am running around like a headless chicken during this thing – which is why if you say […]
