But mostly I came out here to get my name out. Hopefully to sell more books, too! I&#8217;ve sold a few bundles of books, which are con-only available, and given away freebies like hotcakes. I&#8217;ve met so many interesting people here, went to a couple of panels, and everything&#8217;s been interesting and eye-opening. I might do more cons, but the price is not necessarily right to do so. The niche market that I write for (LBGTQ positive and fantasy) are not a big deal in our local area. I have to go where the LBGTQ community is. So maybe some of those cons.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be heading back home on Monday, and hopefully things will go well on the way home (I&#8217;m taking the red-eye).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve sent <em>Blood From a Stone<\/em> to the editor and as soon as WorldC0n is finished he&#8217;s going to take a look at it, However, Maxwell Thomas might write the book under Zarra Knightley&#8230;.we&#8217;re still under discussion on that. It&#8217;s not a romance. It&#8217;s more of a murder mystery with transvestites and a queer in the closet. But we&#8217;ll see on that one, too.<\/p>\n<p>My new Dark Mystic Quill podcast is up, and is an interview with Wayne Barber of WNRI radio. My more recent interview should be available in a couple of months, where I spend the whole hour talking to Wayne about books and the author process.<\/p>\n<p>Wish us luck on day four of five!.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m reporting to you live from the Worldcon76 in San Jose CA!
