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…
July 2023 Linkspam
The Summer of Job Hunting has definitely been a challenge to my patience and stress management, on a number of levels. But that isn’t to say I’ve been sitting around my living room breathing into a paper bag, either! June kicked off with the long-awaited Paris trip, which was an amazing experience happily shared with…
Con Report: ConCarolinas 2023
There’s something wonderfully invigorating about con, the freewheeling friendly atmosphere and hobnobbing with one’s fellow wizards, surrounded by people who get the crazy fun stuff that fascinates you even when the mundane world says, “Huh?” ConCarolinas is very much a writers’ con. There’s also a film festival, paranormal circuit and gaming track, among others, but…
June 2023 Linkspam
We were prepared for some time that there would be what the bigwigs call a “gap in employment” once I graduated. May was the first month of my hiatus. Yet somehow I ended up almost as busy as I was in grad school! Of course, the month kicked off with the graduation and celebrations, all…
Once more unto Second Life, dear friends
I was honored and pleased to join the good folks at the Fantasy Faire LitFest on Second Life this afternoon, giving a brief craft talk and reading a short story. Since all but one attendee had never heard of me before, I defaulted to “Sisyphus,” which reads well and people seem to enjoy it. I…
