Westercon 67 (FantasyCon I)
Every con starts like this. Every con ends like this, too. In between, the rooms fill up with people, stories, and performances. My performances started on Thursday with a brilliant and ambitious but ill-starred presentation on steampunk and audiobooks with … Continue reading

Fandemonium
This year was my first time attending my local fandom convention, Fandemonium (in Nampa). I had a great time cross-pitching books with Carter Reid, Michaelbrent Collings, and Holand Peterson. I sold a few of my own too, and gave out … Continue reading
