Worldcon in Chicago, better known as ChiCon 7, is not officially in full swing, and I’m excited to be a part of the programming. Here’s a list of where you’ll be able to find me at the Con: Friday, Aug 31st 1:30pm – 2:00pm: Reading. Join me as I read from The Flames of Shadam Khoreh [...]
I’ll be attending GenCon in Indianapolis this weekend, and I’ll be on a number of panels, plus giving a reading and signing some books. If you’re coming to GenCon, stop on by! Note: all panels are 1 hour in length. Thursday, Aug 16th 11:00 am — In the Mood: Brad Beaulieu, Donald J. Bingle, and [...]
Heading to Origins this year? If you are, then stop on by and say hello. I’ll be doing a number of panels, a reading, and I’ll also be at The Library, the place they have set up for authors to sit and sign books. I’ll have books there for sale as well, in case you [...]
For some reason, everyone seems to be succumbing to oneupmanship over their recollections of this particular con. It seemed a bit silly at first, but now that I’m reflecting on the con, I think I understand why. ConFusion runs every year and from what I understand changes themes every year. This particular year was epic [...]
Epic ConFusion is just around the corner. It’s being held Jan 20-22 at the Detroit Mariott Troy in Troy, Michigan. If you’re an epic fantasy fan, this is the con to be at this year. Then again, if you’re an epic fantasy fan, you’re probably already going. It’s got a number of heavyweights going, like [...]
Well, another World Fantasy has come and gone. This one was pretty special for me, though, because it was the first World Fantasy with a published book on the shelves. Ever since I’ve started going to World Fantasy, I’ve thought of it as “home,” so to finally have a book out was pretty cool. Last [...]
I’m headed to WFC in the morning, and I thought I’d post my schedule. I have only three things: Friday 2pm – Night Shade Booth – Autograph Signing Friday 4pm – Pacific 6/7 – Reading from The Straits of Galahesh, the second book in The Lays of Anuskaya Friday 8pm – Ballroom – Mass autograph [...]
Several weeks back at Gen Con in Indianapolis, Greg Wilson and I interviewed several of the Writers Symposium authors and editors for Speculate. This was one of the more fun parts of the convention for me, because, well, it's fun talking shop. While we were there, Greg managed to snag an interview with Ed Greenwood, [...]
I only have a few events at WorldCon this year, so I plan to make the most of them! Night Bazaar Group Reading Who: Bradley P. Beaulieu, Courtney Schafer, and Katy Stauber When: Thursday 6-7pm Where: A14 of the Convention Center Night Bazaar Party Who: Bradley P. Beaulieu, Courtney Schafer, Katy Stauber, and the super [...]
I'll be heading down to Indianapolis tomorrow for four fun-filled days with all my gamer geeks—peeps! I meant peeps! Ahem… In any case, here's my schedule for the convention if you happen to be around: Thursday 10am — Selling Short Fiction: Selling short fiction can be a long road, especially in a marketplace with dwindling print anthologies and [...]
You'll find me this weekend at the WisCon writing convention in Madison, WI. I'll be there from today (Thursday) until about noon on Sunday. I have two signings that I'll be available for at the Black Gate Booth, where John O'Neil has graciously allowed me to park and sign for anyone who cares to stop on [...]
I've been attending the GenCon Writer's Symposium, first as an audience participant, and eventually as panelist, for about ten years. That's where I first met Anton. He's one of the old guard. We were both going to the symposium panels, and saw one another here and there, largely at the panels that Kij Johnson was [...]
So last year at World Fantasy in Columbus, I got a chance to meet some of the new Night Shade authors that have books coming out next year. I met Courtney Schafer, Stina Leicht, and Martha Wells. Courtney, the industrious little gal that she is, asked me if I'd like to join her and some [...]
World Fantasy in Columbus this year was really great. Even though the general formula for conventions is the same, they all seem to be just as fun as the previous ones. What's not to like about meeting people who do what you do? It's such a lonely profession by and large (though today's online, time-sucking [...]
As I mentioned in the previous post, I'm headed to World Fantasy this year. I have a reading on Friday morning from 10:00 – 10:30 AM, so I figured I'd work up some flyers to spread the word. Given that I have an epic fantasy to promote, I thought I'd make something that fits with [...]
From October 28th – 31st, I'll be attending the World Fantasy Writing Convention in Columbus, OH this year. World Fantasy is my favorite convention. It has a capped attendance, which makes it less crazy than the big ones like WorldCon, and it's one where people seem to be a bit more relaxed. I really only [...]
I'll be sitting on a number of panels, giving a reading, and signing books while at GenCon this weekend! Here's the lowdown: Thurs 9am – Plotting in Reverse - Craft the end at the beginning! Work your story backward! Simply decide how you want your tale to conclude, and we’ll help you figure out how to [...]
I got back from WisCon yesterday afternoon. It was a fun con, as usual, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. I didn't mind the heat at all. Things have been cold in WI all spring, so it was nice to have a small heat wave. At least it wasn't raining. The con seemed sparse this [...]
Better late than never? Last year at GenCon, Cathy Johnson, known to some as CathyBoy, gave each of the Writers Symposium writers a water color portrait. I really love how mine turned out. The rest of them are really cool, too. My favorite is probably Pat Rothfuss, the garden gnome. Thanks, Cathy!
I thought I’d pass along some information on the content of this year’s Writers Symposium at the GenCon Game Fair, which is held in August in Indianapolis, IN. GenCon is largely a gaming convention, but for the past decade or so they’ve had a steadily growing contingent of writing panels. As it stands now, there [...]
