I had so much fun at the official launch party for ODD MEN OUT this past weekend. We had authors, editors, readers and steampunk enthusiasts out for a great celebration at the Thurber Center in Columbus, Ohio.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

Had a great time at Capclave in Maryland. It was my first time at this one, and it was wonderful! There was a great attendance, partially because the guest of honor was George RR Martin. He was a very gracious guest and spent tons of time with his fans. This is definitely a con I'll consider attending in the future!

I'm excited to be attending Stokercon this year in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The last time I was able to go was two years ago when it was held on the Queen Mary in California. It was one of the best professional and social conferences I've been to. Tons of writers, editors, agents, and readers were there and all of them were friendly and approachable. The panels and workshops were helpful, and not too intimidating.

I highly recommend it!

I write speculative poetry in addition to novels. Speculative poetry is a lot like any other poetry, except that the poet can occasionally use a zombie, an alien, or a vampire to help get their point across. It doesn't have to be quite so heavy as that, the poem can stem from a new scientific discovery, space exploration, or something else firmly grounded in reality. It generally covers science fiction, horror, and fantasy, but I've also seen science fact included in some definitions as well.
