Following hard on the heels of a wonderful release party is the end of my teaching quarter, so the Path to Indie Publication Part V on time management, will be delayed. Holding for titters of derision. . . .

Okay. March 29th I will be doing a reading at the Hoquiam Timberland Library where I spent so much of my childhood! 😉

In other news, I did not make the cut for Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. In hindsight, I think I should have submitted it as Science Fiction rather than young adult, but live and learn… It made me sad, but I’ve still got my application in to the Amtrak Residency in the hopes that they will give me a train ride across the countryside to spark my writing creativity.

Also, to cheer me up, I have been invited to be a panelist at a slimmed down Vikingcon media convention at Western Washington University on Saturday, May 3rd. My panel’s description is:

“Text Me, Scotty: the Blur Between Science Fiction and Fact” 

“The imaginary worlds of science fiction creators have always been linked with real-life science, technology, and innovation – like The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy + the iPad and Wikipedia. Explore the relationship between science fiction and actual science in this panel, where we will learn where local science fiction creators draw their inspiration from and see how sci-fi creations can steer the course of the future.​”

Okay. More, when I hear more.
