Are going to be busy.
I know, broken record and all that. But I’ve got quite a few things going on, and some of them are even exciting, so I figured I’d tell y’all about them. But first, I just deleted about 450 spam comments in one fell swoop from the blog here, so if you left a comment in the past week and it didn’t show up, please let me know what it said, because I probably just nuked it. Sorry.
Next week I’ll be hanging out at the NoDa Arts fest again, showing off new samplers of my short stories and the new canvas promo print. These samplers include a few stories from Returning the Favor, a few poems from Red Dirt Boy, as well as Voodoo Children and Knight Moves, which have never seen print before. It’s only $5, but the only way to get one is to see me in person.
Then the week after Thanksgiving I’m doing a signing at Park Road Books in Charlotte. I don’t do many signings, and even fewer in real bookstores, but Park Road Books is a great independent bookstore and they’re giving me a couple hours to do my thing. Come on out and get some Christmas shopping in!
I’m probably doing the 2-Day Noda Arts Fest in December, right after I get back from my annual Vegas degenerates’ gathering. If any of you guys want books, you gotta let me know how many to bring!
Then in January I’ll be a guest at Chattacon in Chattanooga. And I just got notice today that I’ve been accepted by ConCarolinas as a guest, so I’ll be there this summer.
Then at the end of March I’ll be quitting my day job to write full time. I stuck that at the end of the post to see who reads this far. After sixteen years with the same company, I’m going out on my own in the spring to scribble for a living. Wish me luck!
Best of luck on the new direction. I’ll buy you congratulatory beverage in Vegas.
Good luck! Looking forward to the chance to say I was once roommates with a world-famous author!
Congrats on the quitting your day job! That is a big deal.
I read it. Good luck. Let me know if you need any help with spelling or poker. I’m equaly good at both. 🙂
Wow! And congrats. You’ve got big ones. I am sure that wasn’t easy.
Hey. Great news all around. Good luck with the transition.
Congrats, John! So exciting to see your progress as a writer, ultimately getting to the point that you will be able to write full-time. Way to go!
Luck
Hey John, congrats on your new direction.. Wishing you fast luck and much success. Walking away from a 16 year career takes balls. Big ones.
