As I prepare to begin my Master’s program with Farleigh Dickinson, I have a fairly full calendar of appearances in May and June and wanted to alert you to them in case you wanted to come say howdy.First up, I will be at Awesome Con in Washington, D.C. I will have a table in Artist’s Alley and be moderating several panels, all of which have yet to be finalized. Please note, although the con is three days long, I will be there only Saturday and Sunday, May 30-31.A week later, Howard County’s public library is trying something new: HCLS ComicCon – Rise of the Heroes! Held at the Charles E, Miller Brach & Historical Center, it is described as, “Calling all pop culture enthusiasts! Join us for panels, meet-ups, a costume contest, and more! Ages 14 and up.” I will be doing two panels aside Steven H. Wilson, Dave Galanter, and Howard Weinstein. This should be very fun and I hope successful enough to become an annual event.The following weekend, June 13, the Crazy 8 Press gang will convene in York, Pennsylvania at the York Emporium for their annual Sci-Fi Saturday. We’ll be selling books, signing stuff, and chatting with one and all.And suddenly, a week later I’ll be in Madison, New Jersey, transitioning from writer to student at the three-day residency program.
