Appendix progress continues, and I have a couple event announcements for next year:
NorwesCon 46 SEA! My local SFF convention: classic, classy, and still here for more trilogy wrap.
–
Then a new place for me, Galactic Diversity & Inclusion Convention! Philadelphia, hosted by Gaaays in Spaaace. LGBTQIA+ lineup.
Here’s the quick list of things that have happened that I haven’t posted about here!
Paneling at MisCon Missoula
Book 3: Greater Beyond published in hardcover 7/14 (What! Really?! Yes!)
Paneling at ArmadilloCon Austin
Book 2: Abyss Surrounding 2nd Printing available 8/10
Wow! Lots has still been happening on the Bones of Starlight front! Even though I happily stopped adhering to a twice-weekly posting schedule when the serialization concluded (after 9 years), I am still making things for you.
Such as: The Appendix! Oh, yes. Bones of Starlight will have an Appendix. It deserves an Appendix. There’s certainly enough material. So that’s what I’m doing, as promised. Things like People, Places, Glossary, (I know this is incredibly exciting) And More.
Am I really mostly posting to Facebook right now? Kinda, yeah. I know that there are better ways, but I’m currently reinventing my authorial process, and sometimes the least I can do is all I will do for the thanks I get. Hey though, life is rewarding. It has in fact all been worth it. That’s why I’m still doing this.
This is great to see all in one place! Book 3 print publication is coming along.
As a little task for the free online version, I did the final update on the Table of Contents for Greater Beyond (on the popdown menu at the very top, scroll up). Now all 151 sections are linked. 151 rum is an ingredient in a drink called the Molotov Cocktail – could this really be that incendiary? Haha, ha ha. Incendiary is in the eye of the agitator and the agitated. This story is of those times, in that place, in that universe. I wrote it as though this is simply the way things went, regardless of our opinions of events in another universe. Yet, 151 it is.
And for the first event I get to do after completing my trilogy, the home city SFF convention that’s featured me as a pro since five years ago, and given me some of my most stacked schedulings. I don’t mind! These conversations are lifeblood! Here’s a whole new set of juicy central topics, starting today.
