April begins next week, and for me, that marks the beginning of the convention season, starting with RavenCon. On April 5th I’ll be heading down to Williamsburg for another weekends of meeting with fans of all kinds of media, talking about writing and fandom, and, with luck, getting a few people to give my books a try. So, if you’re going to be in Williamsburg, VA for the first weekend of April, drop in and see me. And to help you do that, here’s a list of where you can find me at the con:

This weekend, the fall convention season marches on. For me, that means that it is time for Capclave. I’ll be there and I’ll have books in tow. I’ll have both copies of The Perils of Prague and The Shining Cog and Other Steampunk Tales for sale and available for signing. But you’ll need to catch me quickly, because I’m on a LOT of panels this year, and most of them are back to back. Just take a peek below and see where you can find me. [click to continue…]

I haven’t had a lot of time to update this blog of late. For that, I apologize. But the good news is that I haven’t been goofing off. I’ve been writing and publishing, and very soon now, that work will bear fruit. So what have I been working on? Well, I’ve been putting together a collection of six Steampunk short stories. And for #WriterWednesday, I’m going to give you a sneak peek at the beautiful Designed By Starla cover! [click to continue…]

Convention season is upon us once more. For me, that starts this weekend with RavenCon. In a few days I’ll be putting the stresses of the past few months aside and heading to Williamsburg, Virginia for three days of panels, readings, workshops, and other fun. I missed last year’s RavenCon in the press to get The Perils of Prague published, so I’m looking forward to heading back this year. If you’ll be at the con, here’s where to find me: [click to continue…]

The time is almost upon us! Yes, Balticon! And if you’d like to find me at Balticon, here is where you can look. I will be quite busy this year, with 7 panels, plus a reading, a book launch, and an autograph session! I will also be in the Dealer’s room this year, as part of a co-op of writers. If you don’t find me there, you should be able to find my book, The Perils of Prague. As for the rest of the convention… [click to continue…]

As I said in my previous Release Day post, we found a few typos in the paperback version of the book, so we had to delay it a few days. (For those of you who bought the Kindle version and downloaded it right away, be sure to get the updated download to correct those typos.)
Anywho… the paperback has been blessed and is now available for order!
It will take 3-5 days for the book to trickle through the process and make it to Amazon, but you don’t need to wait if you don’t want to. You can order it today from the CreateSpace store for $12.95, plus shipping and handling. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you might want to wait for the book to trickle through.
Your choice.
If you want a signed copy, right now your best bet is to buy one from me at Balticon this Memorial Day Weekend. I will have some books with me, and I will be selling them with some fellow authors at a table in the dealer’s room.

Yes, release day is finally here! If you’ve pre-ordered the Kindle version, check your devices. You should now be able to download and begin reading. For those of you who decided to wait for the paperback version, I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait just a little longer. I’m afraid we discovered a couple typos in the proof version of the paperback and we need a day or two to correct them. I’ll have more details as soon as they develop.
If you want the Kindle version, what are you waiting for? It is available at the low introductory price of only $2.99, so buy now, as the price will eventually go up to the standard $4.99 price. I’ll make it easy for you. Just click here to go to the Amazon page, and buy it.
And once you’ve bought your copy and read it, please post a review on Amazon or Goodreads. Reviews help place the book, and help other readers find it.
I’m so excited for this. I hope everyone enjoys the book.
