January 7, 2018 2018 Plans I did not make any New Year’s resolutions. I’m rather content, in general, with life. I always strive to improve, of course, for myself and for MBW and the HA.

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. The Red Lion on the Columbia River was home to the first several OryCons I attended, beginning back in the late ‘80s. The Red… Continue reading Full Weekend: OryCon AND a Birthday Party.

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.

More Doings. Resurrected Post.
October 29, 2017 More Doings I know I’ve been writing a lot about my book promotion activities. Well, ‘tis the book promotion season. What can I say?

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.

LA and a Writer’s Workshop. Resurrected Post.
September 10, 2017 LA and a Writer’s Workshop What a weekend. I’m writing from a hotel lobby in Los Angeles.

And in Other News. Resurrected Post.
September 3, 2017 And in Other News True, misfortunes may come not as single spies but in battalions. (Or something like that. I’m too lazy to look up the actual line from “Hamlet.”) On the other hand, good news can clump as well. I provided an update a couple of weeks ago on doings along… Continue reading And in Other News.
