Life is exciting and busy. After decades of hand-coding my website, I’ve hired a terrifyingly competent and efficient dev to revamp my website from the ground up. That means I’m not exactly certain when the website will be under construction as the dev works. Thus, I’m putting the blog on hiatus (excluding Tell Me blog posts) until things have been rebuilt and moved around. In the meantime, convention/event season has begun! Local Event: Brick and Mortar Books Indie Author Night! Monday June 3rd, 6:00PM – 8:00PM, Redmond Town Center. I will be signing from 6:25-6:55 and then hanging out afterwards. Interview: May 2024: HWA Seattle Chapter Member Interview with Aigner Loren Wilson: Jennifer Brozek. Convention: Origins Game Fair (June). I will be in the Authors Alcove and on panels. Convention: The Gen Con Writers Symposium schedule is up (August). I have three workshops and a bunch of panels this year....
