[Writer Post] ConDFW and What’s Ahead
Okay, so this week is moving right along, and look, here it is, Wednesday. And since last weekend was ConDFW, it’s pretty much a given that I’m going to talk about that. ConDFW is one of my home conventions. It’s the one that gave me my start in conventions as a writer. I’ve gone through […]
[Writer Post] Head in the Game with FenCon Brain
So , today kicks off FenCon Setup – which starts the marathon days for me until Monday afternoon. I deal with the Day Job until 5 pm then meet Jimmy to head over to the hotel to start load in at 6 pm. FenCon has been eating my brain for the last month – that […]
[Spotlight Post] FenCon’s Meredith Hines
This week’s spotlight post is an unsung hero in a lot of ways and a really cool person. Today, I give you someone you may not know, even if you’re in the DFW area – Meredith Hines. Meredith is a burgeoning writer, lover of owls, chocolate and all around SWELL PERSON. When she gets her […]
[Writer Blog] When it’s Okay to Say No to Conventions
This week’s writing blog – when it’s okay to say “no†to a convention. I know, it seems counter-intuitive to say when a lot of writers – like me – tell new writers to go, get out there, and meet people. However, there are times when you can – and should – say (very, very […]
[Spotlight Post] Apologies
I’m so sorry. I missed Friday’s spotlight post because I was setting up and starting Dallas Comic Con’s Fan Days. It’s over now, but it was AWESOME. I met new people. Got to be a geeky fangirl. I sold books to people who both know me and DON’T know me. (Mostly DON’T know me.) And […]
[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. […]

[Conventions] ArmadilloCon Revised Schedule
I’ve been made an “honorary” fan for Fannish Feud. They needed another contestant. I’m happy to fill in and to be on the other side of the table this year. Mark Finn will make a much better host than I. Though I have fun doing that, too. I guess I should really do some prepping […]
[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 […]
