Ho for the DragonCon

So, Bubonicon was a tremendous success.  I’d take a lot of time to tell you all about the panels that we did on Future Trends in Fantasy (don’t try to follow them), State of the Art of Covers (it’s good), how I nearly got into a fistfight, how I got to judge a masquerade, how I had a pleasant, fireside chat in which we both agreed the Sean Bean’s name should be pronounced Seen Been (or Shawn Bonn).  But to be honest, I’m tired as shit, despite having come home two days ago.

Besides, I’ve always been a strong adherent to the idea that we must leave the past where it is: dead and buried under mountains of sand and crumbled pyramids.  We must instead, look to the future, which involves people in various states of undress, absurdly packed crowds, bison meat and books upon books upon books.

I speak, of course, of DragonCon.

Tomorrow, a mere three days after I returned from Albuquerque, I leave for glorious, sweaty Atlanta to take part in probably the biggest mothereffing Con I’ve ever been a part of.  I don’t have any particular paneling going on there and while I love panels, I also greatly enjoy doing what I did last year: being in our lovely Pyr Booth and talking to people that walk by (and hopefully getting them to buy one of my books).

And that’s precisely what I, and a few other peeps, will be doing this year.

I (and we) will be at the Marriott Marquis Ballroom Exhibit Hall pretty much all goddamn day for this weekend.  We will be signing such great books as Tome of the Undergates and Black Halo and AWESOME SHIT HOLY CRAP.

Don’t have a book?  BUY ONE FOR BUTT CHEAP AT THE BOOTH!

Don’t have money?  COME BY AND I’LL SIGN ANYTHING. Babies, bare flesh, sandwiches, kittens, butts, commemorative 2021 Brent Weeks bobbleheads, ANYTHING.

Already have a book? BUY THE OTHER!

Have them both?  GET A BOOKPLATE (totally free!)

NONE OF THAT APPEALS TO YOU?  NOT EVEN IN BOLD FONT?

Well, come on down, anyway, and check out our booth.  Stop in and say hello to me, Jon Sprunk, Andrew Mayer, Ari Marmell and the rest of the gang!  We really are a nice bunch of people, as some people have told us.

Limited Time Offer: Come to our booth and use the code word “Your tie looks nice” and I will make Andrew Mayer and Jon Sprunk arm wrestle.

DO IT.

DO IT OR I WILL KILL THIS KITTEN.

BALL’S IN YOUR COURT, BUDDY.

See you there!
