Etsy

Did you know I have an Etsy store? I make bookmarks, jewelry, sun catchers, and all sorts of crafty things when I’m not writing and when I’m thinking about writing things, like dreaming up new and different ways to torment my story characters. Since I make far more things than I could ever use, I sell some of it in the Etsy store, mainly so I can buy more craft materials. I also sell signed books over there, so those transactions can be safe and secure. You can check out the store at https://www.etsy.com/shop/FineSkylarkStore.

Going to Gaslight Steampunk Expo? Me, too!

Buy TicketsI look forward to this event in San Diego every year, and this time I’m particularly excited because I’ll be moderating a panel with two incredible authors: this year’s author guest of honor, James Blaylock, who helped pioneer the steampunk movement in the 1970s, and Vernor Vinge, a five-time winner of the Hugo Award.


Titled “PC & Prejudice,” the panel will take place from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 7, and will explore whether it’s possible to depict accurate 19th-century racism, sexism, and homophobia in steampunk literature, or are steampunk characters merely moderns in Victorian dress?


It’s a timely topic, and I think it’ll make for a lively conversation.


Also, I’m bringing some charming trinkets with me to give away. Hope to see you there!


For more information on or to get tickets to Gaslight Steampunk Expo, please visit gaslightexpo.org.

California Readin’ This Weekend! #CalReadin #CalDreamin #amreading

The Cal Readin’ reader appreciation event is only 4 days away, and I’m getting super excited!


The gifts for the readers at my table are all packed up and ready to go, and I just put the finishing touches on the prize I’m giving away. I have to admit, I was tempted to keep all these treats for myself!


If you are one of the lucky ones with a ticket, I can’t wait to see you there!


If you don’t — but you live in or around Orange County, Calif. — come check out the book-signing after the event. It runs from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., it’s free and open to the public, and it’s a great way to meet the event’s 60 featured authors!


Here’s the link for more info: https://caldreaminwriters.com/readers/


Hope to see you there!
