C'monfluence and other fun stuff!

I am pretty damned excited about this convention and thrilled to be part of the line-up! C'monfluence will be happening in October and you should join us. It is free but they are asking for a $25 donation if you can swing it so they can keep making the con happen.

What else is going on? We went to a most excellent drag show on the sidewalk outside Sisters' Sludge Coffee Cafe and Wine Bar last Saturday. The dancing, the outfits, the cheering, the people on the roof across the street raining cash down for the queens - an excellent time for one and all. Plus, it was great to be out and about and enjoying our poor battered city once again. And the very next night, we went to visit friends we haven't seen in ages for outdoor barbecue.

Otherwise, I'm working on Blood Moon and my serialized novel for my Patreon. I cranked out a brand new story last week got it submitted just under the deadline. I'm working on a new class for Cat Rambo which will debut next month ("No More Lone Wolves: Writiing Characters in Community." I'm working on a new article for the SFWA Blog and I'm reading submissions for Queen of Swords. I'm also not sleeping worth a damn, surprise, surprise. That aside, we're having some financial stress right now and I'm worried about my people in California, Iowa and the Gulf Coast. Please stay as safe as you can. Now to go finish a few more things...
