Hi, y'all! Brushing some dust off of this to say that book 4 of The Hollow Sun, Crossed Paths, has been released! Should everything go well, I'll be bringing copies of it to DragonCon. As always, you'll be able to find me in the Tairen's Lair booth in the vendor hall. I'll also be on a panel for the YA Track, on LGBTQ+ YA, on Sat at 2:30PM.

If you can't catch me at DragonCon, I'll be back in Atlanta in Oct for Multiverse!

Just realized that my first event for the year is in a few days and I haven't updated on social media about ANY of my confirmed events this year. Been a bit distracted trying to get Paper Lanterns out...

In any case, here's what's confirmed so far:

Dayton Book Expo --- April 29, Dayton, OH
http://www.daytonbookexpo.com

Balticon --- May 26-29, Baltimore, MD

Fandomfest --- July 28-30, Louisville, KY

Dragon*con --- Sept 1-4, Atlanta, GA
http://www.dragoncon.org

It's been out for a few days now, available in print through Amazon and in digital through Kindle and Nook. Soon it will also be available for purchase from any retailer.

Book 2, Fractured Masks, is going to be out within days. DAYS!

Having lived a good chunk of my life in the Atlanta area, I tend to make Dragon*con a yearly pilgrimage of sorts. (I love it so much, it's even mentioned in the book!) This year I won't be running around in cosplay, but hanging out all weekend in the dealer's room peddling my book!

Join me and other authors at OutWrite LGBT Book Festival, as we celebrate LGBTQ+ representation in literature.

OutWrite takes place in Washington DC July 31 - Aug 1.

For more information, visit their website.

The Hollow Sun series features quite a few LGBTQ+ characters in primary roles. Representation is not only important, but something that I don't feel we see enough of in scifi/fantasy works. I'm looking forward to attending this event, with other authors who also understand the importance of representation, of showing that heroes don't just come in one flavor, and that everyone deserves to see themselves in the stories they read. I hope to see you there.

I'll be at a table in the Artist Alley of Balticon, May 22-25. Print copies of The Hollow Sun will be available for purchase, and there will be a few other goodies. More info to come!
