Hey y’all –
I don’t know about you, but I’m just now getting back into my groove after Dragon*Con and NY Comic Con. That’s certainly one reason I don’t think I can do both of those cons in a year again – they’re just a little too close together for massive cons like that. I know there’s six weeks between them, but I need more. Anyway, nobody cares about all that.
Here’s where you can find me at upcoming events for the next couple weeks. When I’m not at these places, I plan to be nose-first in my keyboard because I’m going to do NaNoWriMo this year and I really intend to blow it up. I think I should be able to easily hammer out 50,000 words in about two weeks, so this bitch better be done by Thanksgiving!
Tonight & Tomorrow Night (and Sunday @2:30, Nov. 1-3 @ 8PM, Nov. 4 @ 2:30PM, Nov. 7-10 @ 8PM, Nov. 11 @ 2:30PM)- 8PM – Theatre Charlotte, In the Heat of the Night. Great play, come check it out. The cast is going to Philosopher’s Stone tonight after the show, you’re welcome to join us and tell us how awesome we are.
Sunday – UNCC Cone Center – UNCC Guild Game Day – this is where the gamer geeks come hang out, play Magic or other games, and I set up my little display table and try to sell books. Worst case I’ll play cards and hang out.
November 14, 7-9PM – I’ll be signing the Black Knight Omnibus at Park Road Books. Faith Hunter and Kalayna Price will be joining me. Come by and say hello. Maybe we’ll grab a beer afterwards. Well, let’s put it this way – I’m going to get a beer afterwards. You’re invited.
November 15 – Time Warner Cable Arena – Madonna. Don’t judge, I’m a married man, and I owe her this. I will be intoxicated. That is all.
November 16-18 – Charleston Convention Center in North Charleston, SC – Magic Grand Prix Charleston. I’ll be playing Magic: The Addiction all weekend long, but if you want to come say hello, I’ll probably have books in my bag if you want to pick one up.
November 22 – Thanksgiving at Mom & Dad’s. There’s always plenty. If you can find the place by lunchtime, drop by. We have extra. Just say you’re Cousin Ralph. No one will notice, but you’re in charge of the cranberry sauce. And it better be that gelatinous crap with the ridges from the can left in it. None of this real cranberries bullshit for my family!
November 24 – New World Comics in High Point – 4PM – 6PM – I’ll be doing a signing in a comic shop. Sounds like I’ll be spending more than I sell again. But I’ll have a great time doing it!
Then December 16th, join me for the Charlotte Comicon at the new location. No I don’t remember where it is, go to the website. It’s the best one-day con in Charlotte. It’s awesome!
Yeah, except for the thirty-seven appearances I have this month, I’ll be writing. No friggin’ wonder I never get anything written. I got more done when I had a day job. At least then I had a lunch break. Whine, whine, whine, grumble, grumble, grumble. See ya in the funny papers!
I once had a day job, played poker, acted, and wrote. Now I have several books published, no day job, don’t play poker, and write part time, between scene’s in acting.
John, for all the years of reading, I think you are getting younger and younger. Keep going. You are doing something right.
Looking forward to the signing at Park Road Books. Sir Ed’s afterward? Think the other authors will stick around too?
