Dragon*Con 2012: Part III -- Mobile App

Hello Beardies,

For all of you that are already--or soon to be--at Dragon*Con, I found a great FREE mobile app to help you navigate your way around the streets to Atlanta, stay up to date and on schedule, read more information about the speakers and performers, find documents, et cetera.

If you are on your phone, simply tap on the image below; if you are on your computer and have a QR Reader, scan the image with your phone to download the app!

Hope this helps all of you Con-goers!

Dragon*Con 2012: Part II -- Fan Tracks

Hello Beardies!

In my last post about Dragon*Con, I discussed attending authors.  With only one day left until the big day, I want to discuss one of the greatest features of the convention: Fan Tracks.  The events covered within the tracks include panels, seminars, workshops, film previews/showings, gaming, auctions, et cetera.  They are extensive, and nearly every aspect of Speculative Fiction is covered; whatever you're into, you'll most likely find it at Dragon*Con!

Hello Beardies,

I do apologize in the delay of this post, but I am sure the wait is worth it for the lucky Contest Entrant... Before I reveal it however, I want to describe the process for determining the winner.

Thanks and best of luck to all who entered!

Happy Scribing!

Literary Spotlight: Agent Sara Megibow

Hello Beardies,

For a while now, I've been trying to secure an interview with a literary agent to be able to share with all of you.  After several "Tweets" over several weeks, I finally received an agent who was kind enough to agree to one.

Salutations, Beardies!

Last weekend, I was in a state of bliss, enjoying a rare, quiet evening visiting my parents, watching the Olympics and looking forward to an uneventful week to come. My tranquility was shattered, however, by the arrival of the following text from Joshua.

Joshua: Would you like an assignment? Just forwarded you an email I received from Cidney with a proposal…
