[Writing Post] All. The. Books.
Here it is, the Tex Thompson-Inspired Uber-Enthusiastic, post-FenCon post.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! OMG, GUYS. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I don’t deserve you! You are SO AWESOME! THANK YOU!
FenCon is always a good time – considering I have to split my time between working with Guests of Honor and being a writer. My convention friends and family have always been super supportive. I’ve been part of this convention since its first year – first as a writer then as staff. FenCon is where I started dating Jimmy, met some of the most amazing writers, artists, musicians, and scientists (including an astronaut!).
HOWEVER, this year catapulted all those other experiences to the next level – including the campaign to have FenCon be the convention where Selina wore the Redheads of the Apocalypse Satan outfit when we “won the bet”.
YOU GUYS – you guys – you came to FenCon and bought all the copies of Tarbox Station Yard Dog Press brought – by early Saturday. Then you bought all the copies (except the one I carried around) I brought by Saturday afternoon. THEN you bought all the copies I WENT HOME TO GET on Saturday evening by end of the convention on Sunday.
Not only did you ask me to sign these books (most of them – I think), you also took them to Mitch Bentley to have HIM sign them too. Mitch actually brought one giant print-on-canvas of the Tarbox cover art to the convention. It’s now hanging on my wall – after nearly making me cry hanging in the art show.
Now I’m tearing up a little just remembering this experience because YOU GUYS – I alternate between ecstatically happy that you bought all the books and humbled because you bought all the books (and you followed directions and came to FenCon to buy books). Trust me… TRUST ME… I totally FELT THE LOVE.

I can’t tell you how much that all means to me – except that I hope you like the book – if you do, tell the universe. If you don’t, tell me so I can get better. And now I need to get back to work to give you guys more things to read.
At some near future point I’ll do a more inclusive convention report, but for now this is the thing most on my mind – and I had to get it out before I exploded.
