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? If we can all agree that this is necessary, then allow me to proceed with more. Orycon 39 has released its schedule. I’ll be there, reading from… Continue reading More Doings. 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. IV Science Fiction Convention. The con will be March 24 and 25 in Longview, Washington. If… Continue reading NanoCon Mk. IV. Resurrected Post.
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. Resurrected Post.
Westercon 69, Dude. Resurrected Post.
January 24, 2016 Westercon 69, Dude I received an invitation to serve as a panelist at Westercon 69. Westercon is a regional science fiction convention, held in a different city west of the Rockies each year. For 2016 Portland took the honors. How convenient. Once again I will dilute the quality of the pool of… Continue reading Westercon 69, Dude. Resurrected Post.
Orycon 37 in the Rearview Mirror. Resurrected Post.
November 22, 2015 Orycon 37 in the Rearview Mirror That’s another Orycon is in the books. Another weekend a half step out of pace with the ordinary. I had a marvelous time. With the exception of my ill-fated attempt to watch a football game in the Fan Lounge, no one seemed to object to my… Continue reading Orycon 37 in the Rearview Mirror. Resurrected Post.
Orycon 37. Resurrected Post.
November 15, 2015 Orycon 37 I will be lowering the panelist quality of Orycon once again this year. I’m happy to do it, let me tell you. Enough with the qualified, entertaining, and successful authors hogging the panels. Someone has to draw a line in the sand. And that line is me. Orycon begins this… Continue reading Orycon 37. Resurrected Post.
Orycon 36 Wrap Up. Resurrected Post.
November 9, 2014 Orycon 36 Wrap Up Another Orycon recedes in the rear view mirror. My second as a panelist. I felt more comfortable in the role this year and had a good time. Whether or not the other panelists or the audience members enjoyed my participation remains an open question. I met a number of talented… Continue reading Orycon 36 Wrap Up. Resurrected Post.
