April 30, 2017 Ahem! Announcements. I played coy a bit ago, teasing some news. That’s because I don’t like to offer news only to later have to issue a retraction. Now it can be revealed. (Passive voice, ugh. But in context it does read better than “Now I can reveal it.”) Both parties signed the… Continue reading Ahem! Announcements. Resurrected Post.

NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
March 26, 2017 NanoCon Mark IV Report I’ve returned from NanoCon Mark IV and my stint as GOH. How about that? It was a fun little con, held at Lower Columbia College, just across the river from Rainier. I’d guess attendance came in at about two hundred. I’d consider it a success. I sold out of… Continue reading NanoCon Mark IV Report. Resurrected Post.
NanoCon Mk. IV. Resurrected Post.
March 5, 2017 NanoCon Mk. IV Here’s a bit of news I, at least, found interesting. I’ve been asked to be the Guest of Honor (note the capitals, because I’m kind of a big deal, y’know?) of NanoCon Mk.

Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That. Resurrected Post.
December 18, 2016 Bits and Pieces, Odds and Ends, This and That Perihelion Science-Fiction magazine published a bit of flash fiction I was commissioned to write for an article on The End of the World.

Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
November 20, 2016 Orycon 2016 And that wraps up another Orycon. Technically, as I write these words, the con is still ongoing in the sleepy manner of a con winding down on a Sunday. But it is over for me. I finished my last panel and drove home to help host the joint birthday party… Continue reading Orycon 2016. Resurrected Post
Orycon 38 on the Horizon. Resurrected Post.
October 2, 2016 Orycon 38 on the Horizon Orycon beckons once again. The Portland science-fiction convention has asked me back as a panelist for the 2016 con, the 38th. Looks like I’ll be given a reading. I wonder what I should read. Something from my next novel, perhaps? An older short story? Any suggestions? I… Continue reading Orycon 38 on the Horizon.

It’s Criminal. Resurrected Post.
July 10, 2016 It’s Criminal I suppose the appropriate thing for me today would be to write about last week’s Westercon. I’m used to doing the inappropriate, might be best you get accustomed to it as well. Today’s web log post will instead consist of a bit of upcoming news. Country music holds a tradition… Continue reading It’s Criminal. Resurrected Post.
Monterrey Supplemental: Beer and Miscellaneous Updates. Resurrected Post.
June 26, 2016 Monterrey Supplemental: Beer. And Miscellaneous Updates When we gringos think of Mexican beer, we think of thumbing a wedge of lime into a bottle of watery lager, preferably while sitting by the beach or floating in the swimming pool. But this particular gringo is always sniffing out the local craft brew scene.… Continue reading Monterrey Supplemental: Beer and Miscellaneous Updates. Resurrected Post.
