When Words Collide Day 1

​Here I am after day 1 of When Words Collide, a Canadian Readercon based in Calgary, Alberta. I'm sitting on 7 panels, attending 2 Steampunk-themed parties and joining the Tyche gang for readings and autograph sessions. I'm learning so much but it's only day 1 and I'm exhaused!

The first panel was called Meet the Public: Book Launches and Signings, a Guide to Social Interaction for Authors and Other Introverts. I was joined by Aviva Bel'Harold, Faye Reinberg Holt and moderator Mark Leslie Lefebvre. We were all from very different experience and genres but it was very dynamic and I think the audience had fun.

Here's a list of the panels I'm speaking on, and the times. If you're in Calgary this weekend (Aug 12-14), do drop by. I'd love to connect with a friendly face (although everyone's very friendly here!) The first run of Dragon of Ash & Stars is also available to purchase, as is Cold Stone & Ivy. I couldn't fit the cats on the airplane. Some rule about swords. Sheesh.

I'll try to post something tomorrow night as well.
I'll have done 5 panels by then. Old hat, really.
Now, getting ready for the first Steampunk

​Absinthe, anyone?

Eaton Centre Chapters/Indigo + Oshawa Public Library

PictureEaton Centre Chapters/Indigo
Looks like I'll be plunking my books down in Southern Ontario this October - first at a rather major book signing in one of the largest bookstores in Canada, the Chapters/Indigo in the Eaton Centre Mall in downtown Toronto. Tentatively scheduled on Saturday October 15 from 12:00 - 3:00, I'll have copies of TO JOURNEY IN THE YEAR OF THE TIGER, TO WALK IN THE WAY OF LIONS, COLD STONE & IVY and DRAGON OF ASH & STARS on hand. This is actually a very large deal for a a very small writer and my brain is awash in terror...

Two days later, I'll be reading from both COLD STONE & IVY and DRAGON OF ASH & STARS at the Oshawa Public Library on Monday Oct 17. I'll post more details about that once I have the times and exact location but this will be another first for me - actually being invited to speak/read because someone was looking for a science fiction/fantasy author from Ontario. My name popped up along with my hero, Guy Gavriel Kay. He was busy. I wasn't. So off I go to the GTA. Mr. Kay, I will meet you some day and much gushing will ensue.

So if you live close to either Toronto or Oshawa, check and see if you're free for a spell. If you are, come on down - I'd love to meet you and say hi. Give you a bookmark. Sell you a book, sign it for you. You know the drill. I'm just learning it!

    Write something about me? . Um, I tame lions, free dragons and bust ghosts...

    I'm repped by the incomparable Desiree Wilson of The Bent Agency.


    Call her, maybe?
