Couple o’ quick announcements and something squeetastic for me:
1) I’ll be having a signing shindig thingie at the San Tan Barnes & Noble in AZ on November 22 at 6 pm. Apparently they are doing some kind of pre-holiday hootenanny there and they asked me to come on in, so I said heck, why not. Come say hi. They’ll have discounts on everything but you’re also welcome to bring in stuff you already have if you like. You’ll also get a signed Oberon bookmark and make my mom happy. :)
2) I’m going to C2E2 in Chicago April 25-27, so if you’re in the Chicago-ish area I’d love to see you if you can make it. I’ll be doing both panels and signings there, and I’ll have details when we get closer, but I should mention two things: A) This is my first trip to Chicago and B) I don’t know when I’ll be back. Since I’m going in April you shouldn’t count on me coming back through for my tour in June. In other words, please try to catch me while I’m there! I obviously don’t get out that way often.
AND NOW FOR SQUEE. I’ve been working on Iron Druid stuff pretty much nonstop since 2008. More recently, it’s been Star Wars nonstop. But right now, due to an odd conflation of events, I’m basically waiting to hear back from people in New York before I can work on any more Iron Druid or Star Wars. And they can’t possibly get back to me until Tuesday at the earliest. THAT MEANS I CAN WRITE SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND COMPLETELY BATSHIT FOR FOUR WHOLE DAYS…maybe moaar! And I’m doing it. I don’t know if this will ever see print but I’m enjoying myself and giggling quite a bit so that’s a good sign. I already have 7K written and plan to add to that and fully flesh out an outline for the rest, see if I can get it into proposal shape. Heck, you never know, this might go somewhere.
Sorry I can’t tell you much more than that. Gotta be all sekrit until I can figure out if this will work. Anyway, having fun and I hope you are too. Hope you have a great long weekend, and cheers to all the Veterans out there. Please know that I value your service every day.
