MYSTICON CONVENTION SCHEDULE
Okay...it's that time of year again, where at least once a month I'm on the road heading to a hotel somewhere to talk on panels and shill my books, so there are going to be at least one of these posts a month letting you know where...if you are going to said convention...you can find me. This one is for Mysticon, a really awesome convention in Roanoke, VA. The highlight of this year's con (well, if you are a Dr Who fan, anyway) Peter Davidson!
So. If you even care about tracking me down after that, here's my schedule . When I'm not in the below panels you can find me in the dealer's room...or the business center desperately trying to make progress on my novel!
