The masses descend on San Diego! The mad-dom (far beyond 'madhouse') begins! Friday, after I sat on the "LGBT Comics for Young Readers" with creators like the writer for the LumberJanes (Boom! Comics) and Kevin Keller (Archie Comics) artist, Dan Parent, I had the pleasure of taking respite with steampunk and swingtastic deejay Willow Leafstorm of Krypton Radio in the SDCC press room.

THERE, she asked me all sorts of keen questions about Charm School's world and Artifice of my Dark Victorian series. It was a jolly pleasant tyme, I say! ^,.,^

SDCC

Get your geeek on! EVENT! I will be a Guest at MIGHTY CON 2013, this June 22-23, in Chicago, IL! I usually don't come out yonder (ha ha) so come by, say hi! Get comics, books, toys, do your cosplay, Enjoy!

And yes, I'll be bringing me books, Dark Victorian: RISEN and BONES.

Friday is Preview Night, but I get the feeling I won't reach the con until very late (due to a late flight). But certainly come and score your goodies. 

Saturday I'll be on a panel with Paul Erickson, author of the Hobbit parody, The Wobbit, talking about publishing.

Sunday I'll be at my table, meeting You. :)

I won't be surprised if I'm the only Steampunk or chick wearing a top hat there! ;) (But hey, all expenses paid, so I'm not complaining!).

See you THERE.
