Swancon is Coming!
Originally published at tansyrr.com. You can comment here or there.
My one big trip of the year, and it’s finally heeeere! Only a few days to go now, lalala! I arrive at Perth only an hour or so before the opening ceremony, and I’m on a panel pretty soon afterwards - or as my darling Girlie Jones tweeted to me “just a spritz of Evian water in the green room and you’re away”.
Utterly delicious of course that this long planned convention appearance just happens to coincide with the release of The Shattered City: Creature Court Book Two… and is just a gnat’s wing away from Love & Romanpunk (which may have preview copies at the con, check out the TPP stall in the dealer’s room). New books and conventions make such a perfect combination.
I’m excited about seeing everyone, and also about the many program items I’m on! Check it out.
