GottaGo GottaStay GottaCon… come along?

GottaCon is happening in Victoria on the weekend of February 1-3, and it pleases me no end to tell you all that I’ll be the Writer Guest of Honor there. The schedule’s here: I’m appearing with so many awesome people, like Matt Hughes and Dave Duncan, and podcaster Jules Sherred.

GottaCon is a broad-spectrum gaming convention. It’s my first ever GoH gig, and as someone who started playing D&D in the Eighties before moving onto the Hero System (and staying there forever because that’s how versatile it is!) and has been gaming, in one form or another, ever since, this is just a delight.

If you’re Victoria-adjacent and interested in attending, the pre-registration price is still only $40 until next Tuesday.

Or, as I called it, “Bye Bye Mister Yankee Pie.” Enjoy!

Latest #Buffyrewatch – “The I in Team”

The Slayer’s in with the Initiative for all of a minute this week on my Tor.com rewatch of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. As for me, I’m a few weeks ahead of the rewatch pub dates, so I’m busily writing my essay on “Superstar.”

Here’s the essay: “All Fun And Games Until Somebody Loses An Arm Skewer.”

And the whole rewatch, because a couple people have said they want to start rewatching from the beginning.

Yesterday’s Buffy Rewatch is about “A New Man,” the S4 episode where Giles gets all demonic.

I am just back from Orycon and the pile of stuff to be dealt with is simply immense. But by day’s end if you’re waiting on an e-mail from me, you’ll have a reply. If you’re waiting for me to check your homework, it’ll be done. If you’re a pear sitting in my kitchen, you’ll be chopped and cooked to perfection. Mmm, pears.

I suspect you’re all watching politics on TV and I’m the furthest thing from your minds, so that’ll let me stealth in and catch up. U.S. friends, I am thinking of you.

Latest #BuffyRewatch, Orycon 34

First, this week’s Buffy essay: “You say potato, I say Doomed!!”

I will be at Orycon this weekend, sitting on panels, connecting with people and celebrating the launch of M.K. Hobson’s thoroughly awesome THE WARLOCK’S CURSE. It’s a terrific convention, one of my favorites, and if you are around I’d love to see you.

I’ll be signing books on the Sunday, with so many other wonderful authors–list below!–at the Authorfest 6 at Powell’s Bookstore. Note: Ten percent of total proceeds will go to benefit the Beaverton Education Foundation.
