[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] 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] Doug Savage’s SAVAGE CHICKENS
So, in coming up with a spotlight post this week, I’ve decided on Doug Savage’s daily comic, Savage Chickens. This is one of the comics I read every morning. Savage Chickens is drawn on post-its and illustrate life…corporate, writing, and all around…life in ways that hit way too close to home sometimes. Which is why […]
[Spotlight Post] Bob the Squirrel and Frank Page
Today’s spotlight is one of my favorite daily comic strips–and it’s creator. I adore Bob the Squirrel. This is a daily strip by Frank Page that shows Page’s life as a cartoonist with snarky commentary by a talking squirrel, Bob. Bob is fantastic. He is, in fact, the only squirrel I actually like (probably because […]
[Spotlight Post] Amber Benson and the Calliope Reaper-Jones Novel Series
This week’s spotlight is on an author whose work I admire-whether it’s her written work or her performances. She is a very talented entertainer, and I look forward to meeting her one day. Today, I spotlight Amber Benson and her Calliope Reaper-Jones series. [asa]0441016944[/asa] Some authors don’t read books that are similar in tone or […]
[Spotlight Post] New Friday Spotlight Posts
Now that the archives are caught up to what’s on the website, I had to come up with an idea for Friday posts. The thought I had this week is a “Spotlight” section. For now, it’s not guest bloggers or interviews – it’s just who/what I’m reading, seeing, being inspired by at the time. I’d […]
