I’m at Just-A-Con this weekend. It’s a tiny local “relaxacon” where attendees can roam around and spend time catching up. I’m bringing books and doing a reading, but the emphasis isn’t on sales. (Although I did sell well last year.)

The important thing will be the catching up with friends. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a lot of us are worried about the direction of our government, turning sharply toward control and destruction. Keeping our community together is more urgent than ever.

In fact, my first program item will be a check-in to see how everyone is doing. I’m also on one about DEI and why there’s such a backlash. But in a more fun vein, those of us who were at Worldcon will give a recap of our impressions, and we’ll be talking about trends in gaming (table top, rpg, video).

I hope you all have a chance to rest this weekend and reconnect with your friend group. We’re going to need each other in days to come!

Have you read one of my books? Then it would be great for you to leave a review! Meanwhile, if you’d like to learn more about me and my work, check out my website, Bluesky, Facebook or Pinterest.
