The Nightmare Before Thanksgiving

Posted on November 26, 2021December 11, 2021 by Frog

As an urban fantasy action-adventure author, I’m always trying to draw from my real life experience to fuel my fiction. I’m not sure if Esther and I’s voyage to LosCon is making that list–but it may end up in a horror story at some point. So it’s Wednesday, November 24, and the two of us…

What’s up, Orycon?

Posted on November 13, 2021December 11, 2021 by Frog

Life’s been rough for us fantasy authors these last couple of years. A convention – a live, in-person, science fiction convention – is, for me, the equivalent of Geek Church. It’s where I come to re-invigorate myself. To work with other authors, and find authors to work with me. To interact with my fans directly,…

On Going Home to Spocon

Posted on July 27, 2018 by Frog

For the last seven years, Esther and I have watched our writing career lift off the ground.  We’re under solicited submission to Baen, we’ve got a well-loved urban fantasy series, we’ve got stories in anthologies from a whole host of different publishers.  We’ve appeared as pros and dealers at WorldCon, World Fantasy, and Westercon in…

The Pain of Reentry

Posted on June 1, 2016October 7, 2021 by Frog

I’m not going to do a con report for Miscon.  Miscon was easily the greatest con experience Esther and I have had yet. This wasn’t because of the con staff (who were still great), or the hotel staff (who weren’t).  Miscon is the con where, for lack of a better term, the fact of our…

Final Thoughts on Sasquan, The World SF&F Convention 2015

Posted on August 25, 2015October 7, 2021 by Esther

Frog and I had a wonderful, amazing convention.  We got to meet fans we didn’t know we had, sell many books, hang out with authors and friends, find more people who share our interests, and even attend a few room parties.  It was a beautiful, smokey, unforgettable experience. Conventions always remind me why I started…

WorldCon Report, Day 3: Into the Smoke

Posted on August 22, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

So, day 3 was supposed to be simple.  I had one job to do.  That job, by the way, was to drink beer, an activity that I perform on occasion with no obligation whatsoever. Well, that and work sgt-at-arms for the Business Meeting, which was fun but uneventful (wait for Day 5). No, Friday was shaping up to…

WorldCon Report, Day 1: The drumbeat begins

Posted on August 20, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Alright, day one of Worldcon was a slow start. Jessica Rising was awesome enough to show Esther and I a sneaky way to get in the registration line before the doors to the convention center opened, thus insuring that we did not actually have to wait in said line for more than a couple of…

Orycon 36:

Posted on November 9, 2014October 7, 2021 by Frog

Just got back from Orycon 36.  Interesting con. To begin with, Esther had to take a different car entirely.  She got last-minute notice of a job interview.  Now, as much as we’d like to blow off having a day job in favor of being rich and famous authors, we’re not exactly there yet.  So she had to…
