Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party. Resurrected Post.

November 19, 2017 Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party My weekend was eventful. How was yours? OryCon returned to (almost) its former site for the 39th installment of the convention.

Chugging Along Aboard the Publicity Train. Resurrected Post.

November 12, 2017 Chugging Along Aboard the Publicity Train I enjoyed a busy weekend selling books. Luck and scheduling set up back-to-back book signings, one Friday night, one Saturday afternoon. I owe thanks to the Portland Things From Another World store and to Jan’s Paperbacks. Thanks for the table space and the event promotion.

Carousing Through the Dismal Season. Resurrected Post.

November 5, 2017 Carousing Through the Dismal Season The leaves are dropping, exposing the bare wooden scaffolding of the trees. The rain is either a constant or an intermittent irritant. Moments of warmth are welcome rarities. Yes, the dismal season is upon us until Spring comes to our relief. And so, we party. There’s a… Continue reading Carousing Through the Dismal Season.

More Doings. Resurrected Post.

J.R.R. Tolkien: Appendix N’s Controversial Entry. Resurrected Post.

October 22, 2017 J.R.R. Tolkien: Appendix N’s Controversial Entry Writing about J.R.R. Tolkien is challenging unless one cares nothing for originality. Oceans of ink have been used discussing the man and his work. Merely reiterating what has been written before would prove easy enough. Therein lies the problem. Originality may be illusory, but I still… Continue reading J.R.R. Tolkien: Appendix N’s Controversial Entry. Resurrected Post.

Upcoming Appearances. Resurrected Post.

October 15, 2017 Upcoming Appearances A new book out means another opportunity to press the flesh, meet and greet, and…other rhyming euphemisms for marketing. Where, you ask, can you partake in such activities? Not every event is locked down yet, but currently I am scheduled for the following: I will be signing copies of “Thick… Continue reading Upcoming Appearances. Resurrected Post.

Eugene, Oregon. Resurrected Post.

October 1, 2017 Eugene, Oregon It never rains at Autzen Stadium. At least, it didn’t last night. The drive down I-5 to Eugene, Oregon suffered from the typical bottlenecks that develop when both the University of Oregon and Oregon State University host home football games on the same day. Occasional squalls and heavy, lowering cloud… Continue reading Eugene, Oregon. Resurrected Post.
