After overbooking myself on cons in 2015 and 2016 a little, I decided to lay off the conventions until April this year, mainly because I have a book to finish. But the con year is about to start up again, and I’ve gotten to add a few things to the list. So if you want to meet up in person and say hello*, here are your opportunities for 2017:
April 28-30: ConStellation 8, Lincoln, NE (Author Guest of Honor)
May 26-28: Manticon, Minneapolis/Bloomington, MN (Author Guest)
June 4-10: Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop, Laramie, WY (attendee) (This is not a public event, but if you’re a writer or IRL friend who lives in the area, we may have an opportunity to have dinner and/or drinks.)
July 28: Otherland Books, Berlin, Germany (Reading/Signing) (This is a free event, so stop by if you’re in or around Berlin at that time.)
August 4-6: Nine Worlds, London, UK (attendee)
August 9-13: Worldcon 75, Helsinki, Finland (attendee, although I may be on a few panels related to Wild Cards)
October 27-29: Honorcon, Raleigh, NC (Author Guest)
And that’s it for 2017 unless I get another invite I can’t turn down because I have a really hard time saying “no”.
*And yes, do say hello if you spot me at one of the cons listed and I’m not otherwise engaged. DO NOT meet up in person and say hello by coming up my driveway unannounced. That would be a little, how do you say, weird. And the dachshunds would maim you before I could even unlock the gun rack.
Before you go off galavanting at various cons, you have serious work to do.
I’ve been googling “lanky plush toy” and have come up with nothing, NOTHING, from the Kloosiverse. This is no way to treat your fans.
*shuffles off in abject, soul-crushing disappointment*
So you’re saying dangling off tree limbs and peeking in windows ISN’T your preference?
