Balticon Wrap-Up

This past weekend was my first Balticon (in Baltimore, MD). I had a blast. It's very much a writers and readers convention, with some big names and plenty of smaller, regional authors like yours truly.

Everyone was very friendly, as if usual for a SF/F con. One of my agents, Joshua Bilmes, was also there, and it was great to soak up some free meals from him. I also met Elizabeth Moon for the first time. She's much friendlier than you'd think a big-time author would be.

Also there was Myke Cole, who shares an agent with me, and who's debut novel, Control Point, comes out next February. Myke is a great talent, and we had several great conversations.

If you live in the region, you should really check out this con.

Award Finalist

Hey folks,

Just a quick note. Shadow's Son is a finalist for the Compton Crook Award, given out at Balticon each year. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
