Capclave 2015

This image is cool and has nothing to do with Caclave

From the website:

Capclave is a small relaxed literary convention with a program that usually focuses on the short fiction form. Our Guests of Honor and other notable authors, editors, artists, and fans of the short fiction form will explore the creation and enjoyment of short fantasy and science fiction genre stories.

Past Capclaves have hosted discussions with authors and fans; readings by authors; a dealer's room with books, magazines, artwork, crafts, and other science fiction and fantasy related items; exhibits by artists; space science presentations from NASA; a hospitality suite; room parties; interesting conversations with other fans and professionals; and a relaxed atmosphere for visiting old friends and meeting new friends.

I will be there all day on Saturday! See you there!

Location: Hilton Washington DC North/Gaithersburg,
620 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877

Short Stories Preview

I have outlines ready for a series of short stories related to the Solstice 31 Saga. The first three are already available for free via the links on the right.

Many of them are writings that were saved from the cutting room floor. All these will be released individually over the coming year. In the end, I will assemble them all into a single volume.


--I still need to create the cover for the final edition.

Book signing

Fall for the Book
I had a pile of fun last night at the Fall for the Book event.

I sold some signed books, talked to other authors and learned some stuff:
  • I need some signage. I will be doing this again.
  • I need small book stands.
  • I need to order more of the anthology. I sold out of it.
  • Plot cards that explain to overall plot of the Solstice 31 trilogy.
  • I need a better pen. My Sharpy was drying out!
  • I can now accept Credit/Debit Cards!
I need to figure out how to provide promo codes for the Audible book.

--Fun stuff! Thanks to everyone that stopped by!
