Cascadia Festival & Ace Comic Con Midwest

Two events, sooner and later…

This weekend, I will be at Cascadia Festival in Granite Falls, WA! Very much looking forward to reconnecting with this heart tribe. You can seek me at the Gypsy Vibes Tea Lounge near the River Stage, where you can have a sip and my typewriter may be out for shenanigans! If you missed getting a love letter at Behind the Veil, this could be your chance, or we can go further, deeper, stranger than that if you can believe it.

I’m also happy to announce that I’ll be present for Ace Comic Con Midwest in Chicago, October 12-14. I’ll have an Artist Alley table with new books for the masses. Enjoy the buzz, be a part of the excitement… visit with somebody famous, like me!

Ace Comic Con, Locus Awards

This past weekend I met with two excellent fellows in entertainment who each received copies of Bones of Starlight 1 – actor Tom Hiddleston, and director Kevin Smith! A genuine pleasure. With Tom, I’m wearing my author photo jacket (my ‘trail blazer’). I came to see Kevin in my borrowed Locus Awards hawaiian shirt, which is also where the flower lei came from. In the space where he’s holding his arm out, that’s where you can imagine YOURSELF in the picture.

The Locus Awards was a splendid and jolly affair, and was also the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Locus Magazine, a stalwart of science fiction & fantasy critical review.

Out and about in Seattle, I discovered an artwork location of Bones of Starlight cover artist Leo Shallat, and came out (again, as poly-pan-sexual) to celebrate with the Pride Parade.

Hardcover Series Art

Sticking with incredibly talented Seattle-based calligraphy painter Leo Shallat, a stunning trio of paintings has been selected for the hardcover editions of Bones of Starlight. Even more, there are already prints available of the original artwork! Get them while you can, links with images. Very honored to be graced by this world-class public-works artist.

Displaying as the new website banner is a detail shot of the artwork for Fire Within. The also-beautiful previous selection for Book 1, “Dragon”, is still viewable in the Paintings section of Leo’s online portfolio.
