Where I'll be next year

From late January through the end of April, I'll be housesitting in Tipperary, Ireland. Doesn't that sound lovely? Of course, it will actually be during the tail end of a North Atlantic winter, but the Guinness will be good.

Starting in mid-May, I'll be in Washington State until December, just a ferry ride across the Strait of Juan de Fuca from Vancouver Island. I'll be able to observe the American election at close range and I can run for the border if civil war breaks out.

Since I'll be close to BC, I'll visit family and friends. I'll also attend the Creative Ink Festival, a writers conference, in Burnaby (where I went to high school) May 6th through 8th. I've give a presentation, probably on story mechanics, and do some blue pencil cafe sessions.

And, god help me, I will attend the 50-year class reunion of Burnaby South High School's class of 66. The only reason I attended BSHS that year was because I was thrown out of Burnaby Central for unacceptable behavior, but I actually do remember some of the people I went to school with.

In August, I'll be at WorldCon in Kansas City, if the aforementioned civil war hasn't broken out yet. If you're going and you've got books you'd like signed, bring then along.
