Want to Be My Patron?

Yesterday in my wanderings across the internets, I came across this site called Patreon. The concept is simple. Remember back in the good old Renaissance days, when artists had patrons who would support them, allowing the artists to do cool things like paint church ceilings or be William Shakespeare? Yeah. Those were some pretty good days, from an artist’s perspective. Well, minus the constant threat of death to disease, and the criminal lack of video games. But yay for patrons! Patreon wants to bring that back. The patrons, not the constant threat of death to disease. So people can sign […]

A Report on LTUE 2015

As you know, I just got back from another sci-fi/fantasy conference, this time to sunny Utah for LTUE (Life, the Universe and Everything). One question that kept coming up time and time again was “Why did you come all the way from Maine for this?” It’s a valid question. LTUE happens the same weekend as Boskone, a convention in Boston. Why am I flying all the way across the country when I could just drive down to Boston and go to a con there? They’re about the same size, on similar topics . . . and I hate flying. Seems

LTUE Schedule: I’m Coming to Utah!

Today I’m actually off to Bangor. But I thought I’d take this opportunity to let you know I’ll be in Utah in February, presenting at Life, the Universe, and Everything (LTUE) in Provo February 12-14. You’ll be able to hear me pontificate on not one, not two, but NINE different panels over the course of those three days, plus come out and play with me in a celebrity Magic: the Gathering draft. (It’s exciting, I know. Try to contain yourselves.) When I’m not on panels, I’ll be the one in the game room, doing my best to play all the

WesterCon Bound

As I was getting ready for my trip, I received an email from the organizers of WesterCon, wondering if I’d be up for coming to present. It’s a con happening in Utah, so the odds of me being able to actually go were slim to–wait a minute! It was right during my trip that I already had planned, paid, and almost packed for. So the answer was a cheery, “Sure!” I’ve been waiting to really publicize my attendance until I had all the pieces in place. That time has come, so I can now say that if you’d like to

Come On Out to a Signing Tomorrow

Nothing like giving you all plenty of heads up, I know, but I’ll be at Cape Elizabeth Author Fest tomorrow from 10am-2pm, selling and signing books. It’s a ways away for most of you, but if you want to come out and rub elbows with over 35 authors and illustrators–and just hang out with me–then tomorrow’s your day! A bookseller will be there peddling copies of Vodnik, and I’ll bring down some copies of Cavern of Babel, just in case anyone’s hankering for some alpaca fantasy reading. I’ll also bring Vodnik tattoos, and if I’m feeling up to it, some
