DragonCon 2024 has come and gone…

Wow, I’m behind on posts! The time between DragonCons seems to be how I measure time, and the period since last year’s DC was full of writing deadlines, respiratory illnesses, and minor catastrophes, but also a fabulous trip to Barcelona (only my second overseas trip) and two short story publications.

And this year’s DragonCon was as great as ever! I had fun talking about women in STEM, real-world
