Happy to be at DisconIII (Worldcon)

Today is the first day of the World Science Fiction Convention in Washington DC, called Discon3. I’ve only been to one other Worldcon, which is when it was hosted in Chicago a number of years ago.

At my first Worldcon I went to panels that taught me about the business of being a professional author. I was even on a panel of new authors, where we share insights about the experience. How we got published, how some of got agents and those, like me, who were published without one. One person on the panel is now a multi-award winning author, who is an IP (Intellectual Property) attorney. Then there is the wonderful networking opportunities the con offers… It was also fun going to the Green Room, where the food was better than in the consuite, where I also had the opportunity to hang out with other authors, particularly the best-selling authors.

That is why I’m so happy to be at Worldcon again. There is also a series of virtual offerings. Oh, and I’m moderating two in-person panels: “The CW’s Contribution to Genre TV” and “Publishing Your E-book.”

I’ll be posting periodically to my blog and on social media, so check back over the next few days.

On the giveaway front through the holidays, Dragon’s Curse, a prequel to Highmage’s Plight, and Last Knight, prequel to Knight of the Broken Table, appear in Fantasy & Science Fiction Giveaway.

Knight of the Broken Table, Bigfoot is Not Your Friend, and Nowhere to Go But Mars are available in Sci-Fi Reign, a promo for books in Kindle Select.

Grounding a Mockingbird, a related story to Lessers Not Losers, and Apocalypse Knot, prequel to Bigfoot is Not Your Friend are available in Holiday Sci-Fi Giveaway.

So, Dare to Believe, my friends, and happy holidays!
