Updates and WisCon Schedule

The weekend brought a lot of ups and downs, on pretty much every level. These included:

• My friend Beth’s memorial service. Beth, being Beth, threw the best going away party/funeral I’ve ever attended, complete with loved ones, her artwork and excellent catered food. It was both a sad and festive occasion, just as she would have wanted, I think. I’m going to miss her a lot. :-(((
• Michael and I did a reading on Sunday at Cream & Amber, which was both well-attended and delightful.
• Alex book, Murder in the Titania, did not win a Colorado Book Award (but is still awesome and you should read it and the sequel).
• I had a killer migraine on Sunday.
• friends took me to vaguely Regency-themed improv and it was great fun.
• I got a lot less work done than I had hoped for. Sigh.
• We are officially announcing that Queen of Swords Press will be publishing a collection of stories about Cinrak, dapper lesbian capybara pirate, by NZ author A.J. Fitzwater next year.

So there’s been a LOT. Naturally, that means we must have a big upcoming event! 
Off to WisCon on Friday for the following:

• Sunday, May 26th - 10-11:15 “So You Want to be a Publisher” Conference Room 3. Presentation and talk. 
• Also Sunday - 4:1-5:15 “Book Marketing for Writers” Capitol A. Panel discussion with Cecilia from F-BOM.
• And Sunday again (it’s s big day) - Queen of Swords Press Party, Room 627, 8-1PM. Tea, guests, fun! Stop by!And now back to work...
