Springing into Spring

 March was fun, with some new to me events. 

We started the month at Mona Shores Comic Con, which was great because it was free for vendors, and also, many of my fellow author and vendor friends were there so we got to catch up. This one was put on by a high school so we met many students as well as some of the general public. I've been informed that next year, the chicken should also be in attendance. 🐔

 I even had a few early copies of Nugget for Fantasticon.

Next, I ventured over my first Ohio event in Toledo. Fantasticon was full of new to me vendors. New friends were made and I got to chat with a few old ones too. It was great to get to meet a new audience and introduce them to my books.

I had a tiny table for Third Coast so we had a book 
mountain instead of my usual spread.

Then came the inaugural Third Coast Book Festival near to home. The short travel time was much appreciated after the trek over to Ohio. Stationed throughout Grand Haven, 140 authors sold books to the public and then we dispersed for a few hours, during which, my local author gang hung out at one of the breweries for a tasty beer. We spent the evening at a Gala where we made lots of new author friends and also got to chat with readers and enjoy delicious snacks from local restaurants. Much networking was accomplished.

Author friends, old and new

I wrapped up with month with my annual across the state college con in Alma, MI. Attendance was down this year due to a lack of advertising, but I did meet some new readers, as well as visiting with a few fans and I got a lot of reading done.

There are lots of places to find me in April on the list -->

Now that Nugget the Space Chicken is out in the world, I'm onto the second project of the year, I9. I closed the window on beta comments on Monday so now comes the fun of compiling feedback and digging into revisions.

Audio narration of Sahmara is also in the works. I'm guessing I'll have a few more chapters in my inbox at some point this month.

Interface is making slow but steady revision progress and going well with my critique group. 

I also may have started writing the second Nugget book.

Can one have too many projects going at once? Nah. Ok, maybe, but I'll do it anyway because that's how I roll.

Onward to this month's Insecure Writer's Support Group Question: What fantasy character would you like to fight, go on a quest with or have a drink with?

Have a seat, Vlad, we're gonna have a few beverages and see what happens.

It would probably start as a drink, then we'd get talking and either end up in a fight or find ourselves on a quest or a combination of the two because really, what's a quest with a fight in there somewhere?
