Jolabokaflod – wait, what?
I’ve seen that meme about Christmas Eve in Sweden – or is it Finland? – where traditionally everyone gets a book on Christmas Eve and they all snuggle up under blankets, drink cocoa and read. It’s called Jolabokaflod, meaning “Christmas Flood of Books” which doesn’t sound nearly as cool in English. This is a holiday…
September 2023 linkspam
The image above was a sign on the wall of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Atlanta, one of the five host hotels for Dragoncon. I was delighted to return to Dragoncon after an absence of eight years, which was just long enough to remember where the food court is, and completely forget which level you…
New story pending…
I’m happy to announce that my short story “Azrael” has been picked up by parABnormal Magazine (Hiraeth Publishing). “Azrael” is a funky little story with a weird genesis. I was sitting in one of my favorite coffeehouses, happily typing away with a cup of caffeine beside me. A young man walked up to my table…
Fall Deathmarch (a.k.a. tour)
Excuse me, meme. We prefer the term “geeks.” Semantics aside (and I’m always up for semantics!) I’m off to sunny Atlanta for Dragoncon! It’s great to be returning after many years away – I think my last DC was 2015? My reading is at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Hyatt Marietta, and I hope you’ll come….
Signing added in Martin, Tenn.!
I’m honored to be hosted by the public library officially known as C.E. Weldon Public Library in Martin, Tennessee, where I am returning next month for my 30th (!!!) high school reunion. I refuse to believe it’s been 30 years. I reject your reality and replace it with my own. In the past three decades,…
Dragoncon Schedule
I’m delighted to be returning to Dragoncon after a long time away! Below is my schedule, where I get to meet up with some old friends and new faces as well. It’s a fairly light schedule, so I may have free time (!) to meet up and chat! I will have a limited quantity of…
August 2023 Linkspam
Let me start with the big one: my screenplay for “Infinity” was finalist at the Imadjinn film festival, complete with a nifty little trophy for my office. This was the first screenplay I ever wrote, as part of a workshop at the university under Professor Valerie Vogrin, and I was so pleased at its warm…
Imaginarium ahoy!
I’m delighted to return to Imaginarium on its 10th anniversary, having attended nearly every Imaginarium since the first one (give or take a little pandemic.) I’ll be giving my two-hour “business of writing” seminar on Friday afternoon, with several other panels in between running the Literary Underworld booth. LitUnd authors Jim Gillentine, Steven Shrewsbury, Sela…
Night Market at Alton
I’m happy to add the Alton Night Market to this summer’s schedule! I’ll be appearing with Sarah Dhue at 7 p.m. July 20 with books and art. I haven’t done the Night Market before, but I hear it’s an awesome event and there is a lot of variety to the art offered. Their Facebook page…
