[Spotlight Post] Devin Pike, Amber Benson & IndieGoGo Films
It’s spotlight day. And a gloomy one it is, too, here in the Dallas Area. So I’m looking for ways to brighten my day by talking about fun folk and independent film. You see, in the past couple of weeks I’ve found reasons to LOVE having a Responsible Adult Day Job and to hate it […]
[Spotlight Post] Geoffrey A Landis – Mars Crossing
Today’s spotlight is on a future FenCon GOH – Geoffrey A. Landis… or at least his book, Mars Crossing. I’m in the middle of this book, so it’s not a complete review… it’s more of a set of impressions. [asa]0812576489[/asa] Landis will be our Science GOH for FenCon X this October. I do attempt to […]
[Spotlight Post] Karl Schroeder — Is it or Isn’t it Steampunk?
This week’s spotlight is kind of a work in progress – and also a flashback to FenCon. We brought in a well-known Canadian author to run our writer’s workshop. And found out he’s not as well-known…HERE, but he’s a great guy and though I haven’t read all of one of his books, I like what […]
[Spotlight Post] The Music of John Anealio
I haven’t done a whole lot of musicians in my spotlight posts, mostly because I haven’t worked with many recently. So this week, I’m featuring John Anealio. I mentioned him in the FenCon post, but his music deserves more attention. John Anealio isn’t a “filker”. We’re calling his music “Nerd Rock” – kind of like […]
[Writer Post] FenCon in the Rearview – or – Peter David Wore My Fez
I’m currently recovering from FenCon — while starting a new job. So far, I’m upright and moderately coherent. We’ll see how long that lasts. FenCon is always a whirlwind for me. I never get to spend the time I would like with the people I care about because I’m always running in a half-dozen directions. […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] No pens today
We just finished another FenCon. I have no brain. I did make it to The Dallas Pen Show for a little over an hour. I bought a couple of things and met some people, but more indepth stuff will happen again next week. It’s full of the pretty… as always. I apologize for not having […]
[Spotlight Post] This Post Intentionally Left Blank
I am sorry to say there will be no spotlight this week. FenCon starts today, and though I should’ve been better prepared and had a spotlight ready to go…I didn’t. There are so many awesome people attending FenCon this weekend, that it wouldn’t be fair to spotlight just one. Though I am now a big […]
[Writer Post] The Pre-FenCon Ramble
Oh, yeah, it’s Wednesday. Post day. Fortunately nothing earth-shattering is happening on the publishing front this week. I don’t think I could handle it. I have managed to write SOME fiction this week in the midst of the chaos. This is FenCon week. Therefore, very little happens that’s NOT FenCon. Right now I’m in the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Dallas Pen Show Preview
I apologize in advance for this week’s set of blog posts – and probably next week’s. This is FenCon week and I’m up to my freshly waxed eyebrows in staff duties, last minute details, and getting stuff done. It’s a week of time management, panic-mode, and primal screams. Next week will be recovery, starting a […]
