[Conventions] ApolloCon 2011 Convention Report
ApolloCon happened this past weekend in Houston. I’ve participated in this convention almost since it’s inception in 2005 – I had a couple of “off” years due to money (lack of) and a wedding (it was the week before mine in 2007). I love this convention. I love the people who run this convention. I [...]

[Writer Post] Marketing on A Budget
I know I’ve talked about marketing on a budget before — but, I’m a bit brain mushed from content editing the new Redheads project for our meeting on Saturday, and it’s the beginning of the busy part of my convention season (which means Marketing on My Mind). It happens every time there’s something “new” out [...]
[Writing Post] Why Autographings Are Important
There have been articles in the past months (and probably years) about how book signings (mostly as events) are dead or dying ways to get more people to buy books. Now, I normally avoid the Grand Sweeping Statement – but I this time… “Bunk!” Book signings – especially the convention autographing session – are still [...]
[Conventions] SoonerCon 20
I was REALLY looking forward to SoonerCon this year. It’s the first of the “summer convention season” for me, and one I have enjoyed in the past. Not having the exhaustion of Scarborough on my back this year, I was ready. Fortunately (and unfortunately) the challenges to SoonerCon this year were in the traveling and [...]
[Writer Blog] Paying Forward – of a sort
First of all a SOONERCON Schedule change… The schedule sent to me said – Reading at 11 a.m. on Sunday. The grids show 30 min blocks for readings with me in the Second Slot – so I’ll be reading at 11:30 a.m. on Sunday after Jeff Provine. Still reading the OK set story – just [...]

[Personal Appearances] Four Winds Renaissance Festival – April 2-3, 2011
Hey, East Texas! I’m coming your way!
[From the Archive] Conventions
Seems appropriate after ConJour, to have this come up in rotation… — It’s Convention Season – at least for me. Or what I consider Convention around this part of the US. The “season” will always depend on the writer/artist and their location. For me, it’s June – October – with at least one “pre-season” convention. [...]
