As any reader of this blog (let alone my novel Traveler) would know, I am a lifelong Sci-Fi and Fantasy fan.

Another busy weekend of shameless self promotion, as a part of the 38th annual ICON Sci Fi and Fantasy Convention in Cedar Rapids.

“Oh, too bad your reading is (insert date and time here). I can’t make it that night.” In doing my best to take away all possible excuses for not buying Traveler, I am pleased to announce that the book will be launching on TWO consecutive nights in Cedar Rapids. On Wednesday, Nov. 6, The Writing […]
