So, I probably ought to tell you that I have a new book out. It's pretty ridiculous, as you may guess from the title Cracked! A Magic iPhone Story.
More than that, though, I'm holding a launch party for it next week. And I have no idea what I'm doing. I've never done a book launch party.
Right now, I'm working on my speech (AKA, where I tell everyone about the ridiculous experiences that helped make this book the work it is today). Speechwriting is hard, and not helped by the fact that I'm going for "loose collection of bizarre anecdotes" rather than "purposeful collection of information intended to inform or convince."
In utterly different news, I did my first dealers' room at a convention two weekends ago. And I'm going to be at Redemption (in Coventry, UK) in a few weeks if you wanna hang out. I'm on some serious Blake's 7 panels, and I'm loving doing "research" to prep for them. I'd forgotten which episode you could find "Vila weighs 73 kilos" in.
