[Writer Post] Book News and FenCon

Posted by reudaly on October 1, 2014 in Books, Conventions, Writing |

Hello, Blog, I told you I’d be back. Did you miss me? FenCon was a whirlwind, exhausting BLAST. I had really great guests of honor to work with – which is good because I was breaking in a staff (and didn’t break THEM). Now to train one of them over the next year to take over my job so I can take a bit of a step back from RUNNING Guest Relations… WHY?

WHY? Because I HAVE A BOOK COMING OUT IN 2015!. Yard Dog Press is putting out my Space Opera with Thriller Elements (currently titled Tarbox Station sometime in 2015. The edits are still in process. I was told Friday at FenCon, while Selina was setting up the Yard Dog table that the edits were half-done, and likely what they’ll be. I’m not surprised, this is a book I wrote a while back and haven’t looked at in a while. I’m a bit embarrassed by them, but hopefully I’ll see this as a growth experience. CAN’T WAIT! But, since I never QUITE heard the words, “I’m buying your book.” I took the editing as a “Positive Sign” and was hopeful.

Hence the shock and surprise a big chunk of my friends got to see (but not my husband – he was at the parties) at the end of the OH, SO hysterical and inappropriate Jerry-Springer-esque Road Show (if you missed it… DUDE, did you miss it) when I introduced myself, Selina added “And she has a novel coming out next year.” And after a wee bit of confirmation with Lynn, I can talk about it… and talk about it… SQUEE joyfully into 2015 with a few tears over working out the edits because “WHY DID I DO THAT????” But I know the book will be SO MUCH BETTER after the edits.

I was also asked if I wanted to write a couple of short stories (no promises on publication, just hey, here’s this anthology… type of things) which sound fun. And lots of hilarity with our new ROTA Variety show – and full houses for both panels (with new faces – YAY!!!!). 2015 is ramping up to be a busy year for me – which hopefully means more topics for this round of blogs.

BUT…but… but BOOK. 2015. Me. Mine. All mine. SQUEE! And thank you FenCon for an awesome time. Loved telling celebrity stories with Mark Finn, Bill Ledbetter, Tiffany Franzoni (she ROCKS!) and Mark Oshida. TOO MUCH FUN, even with sad news at the end. (the pic is not the sad news…)

    No, I’m pretty sure the pic at the end is the bad news.

    Because, YET AGAIN, I missed Timothy Zahn.
