GenCon 2009 and the Writer’s Symposium Wrap-Up
GenCon this year was a world of difference from last year, partially because instead of running a booth I was on several panels at the Writer’s Symposium. This selection of panels, organized by Jean Rabe was structured so that budding writers and game designers could get the help that they needed on a variety of [...]

My GenCon 2009 Writer’s Symposium Schedule
Folks, things have been a bit crazy on my planet as I get ready for GenCon: Indy. This will be my first year I’ll be speaking on panels through the Writer’s Symposium, even though this is definitely not my first speaking engagement. I’ll be bringing along some mini-flyers for those of you that are interested [...]

WisCon: the Recap
Billed as a feminist science fiction convention, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I walked through the doors to WisCon for the first time. Held at the Concourse hotel in Madison, this was — by far — the best organized event I’ve ever attended. (This includes both the gaming-related and business events I’ve [...]

Observations from OddCon
This is the second year I went to OddCon hosted in Madison, Wisconsin. The convention is “fan-run” meaning that fans organized, scheduled and arranged three days of events, panels and signings. There were several professional writers on hand including Guests of Honor Emma Bull and Patrick Rothfuss, alongside notable writers Sarah Monette, Lori Devoti, Alex Bledsoe, Matt Forbeck, Adrian Drake, Chris Welch, Richard Chedwyck, Cam Banks, Jamie Chambers, Michael Damian Thomas and Lynne Thomas, Matt M McElroy, etc.

GenCon 2008: Wrap-Up and Notes from the Booth
The past week has been a blur of faces, pitches and products flying past me so fast and furious that I’ve been trying to answer that mundane question: How was the show?
I’ve been trying to wrap my mind around the answer to that, because there was a lot going on. As a contributing author for [...]

Like the Dark? Meet me for a Dream Date in Indy and get Swag
I’m making a list and checking it twice — no, it’s not Christmas in July. As I mentioned before, we’re getting ready for GenCon Indy. Part of our packing efforts is to design two horrific packages for people who love the things that go bump in the night. One is a horror-themed silent auction package [...]

I had the opportunity to talk with artists, publishers, vendors and many, different folk excited about the comic book industry. This was my first comic book convention, and I have [...]

Follow Up from OddCon: Writing Panels and Author George RR Martin
This weekend I attended and appeared on several writer’s panels at OddCon. This science fiction and fantasy convention usually is attended by a small, close-knit group of local writers and fans of the genre through groups like the Madison Dorks. In my opinion, this really isn’t a convention geared toward gamers at all, even though [...]
