I’ll be in Kansas City for MidAmericon II, the 2016 Worldcon, in a little over a month. I’m not on any official programming, but there are two events I’ll be joining: the Wild Cards signing on Friday, August 19th from 5-8pm, and a Wild Cards panel on Saturday, August 20, from 3-5. We’ll be doing…

a wild blog update appears!
If I’m less active on social media at the moment, it’s because I am finishing up FIELDS OF FIRE, Frontlines #5, for delivery to my publisher. (FIELDS OF FIRE already has a pre-order page if you want to put your order in early, but be aware that the delivery date is provisional and can change.)…
the cost of going to a con.
I went to ConFusion in Detroit last weekend and a had a terrific time meeting old friends and making new ones. (It marked the first time a fan recognized my name in the elevator and got all excited. ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED.) I tend to do the local cons regularly because I can drive to those and…
ConFusion schedule.
I’ll be at ConFusion in Detroit next weekend. If you’re going to be there, here’s where you can find me: Friday 9:00:00 PM Who Threw Away My Monster Compendium When was the last time a zeitgeist novel had a bugbear or a cockatrice? How long is it since someone fought a giant, flesh-eating beast…
2016 already?
I’ve been an awful blogger in 2015. I’m pretty active on Twitter and Facebook, but I use them mostly to stay in touch with friends and family (Facebook), and dash off one -liners and short thoughts as they pop into my head during the day (Twitter). But the long form requires one to actually sit…

Hey, look at that! ANGLES OF ATTACK made the semifinals in the science fiction category of the Goodreads Choice Awards. Thanks to all of you who voted for Space Kablooie #3. And feel free to vote for it some more! I spent the weekend at World Fantasy Con in Saratoga Springs, NY. I didn’t bother…
brief nycc 2015 weekend recap.
I spent last weekend at NY Comic Con in the Big Apple. As usual, it was a ton of fun, although the teeming mass of humanity that is the Javits Center at Comic Con is something I have to take in limited doses. I did a signing at the 47North booth, a panel with other…
con appearances for the rest of 2015.
I’ll be Author Guest at HonorCon in Raleigh, NC this year. HonorCon (one of two annual conventions around David Weber’s Honor Harrington series of military SF) is taking place from October 30-November 1 at the Hilton North Raleigh/Midtown. I’ll be doing a few panels and do some general milling around to meet people. ALSO: New York…
my sasquan weekend.
Sasquan was my first Worldcon, and it turned out to be quite the doozy for this first-timer. When we arrived on Thursday, the place wasn’t on fire, but smelled and looked like it. The nearby wildfires in central Washington were sending up smoke, and the wind conditions blew that smoke right across and into Spokane….
convention schedule for (the rest of) 2015.
I just got back from Readercon, which was perfectly lovely and fun. Being in New England, Readercon is sort of my home convention, and I go every year to reconnect with friends and keep up the annual traditions we have developed over the years. When I was there, I realized that I had not mentioned…
