Clydesdale for “tax.”

I will talk about my vacation, but I can’t yet, because I have too much news!

First the miscellaneous list (I know links would be good, but Buttondown doesn’t like links):

“The Exotics” will be out in Tales from the Crosstimbers on June 1.

eSpec Books has a kickstarter running for the charity anthology A Heart For Hounds. All proceeds over and above print costs will be going to dog rescue, mostly to an organization that helps rescues get the supplies they need.

Kyx is currently available on Itch.io as part of the May The Fourth Scifi Bundle. There are 23 books, so this is a great deal if you’re looking for new science fiction authors to try out.

Parsec Ink is also doing a kickstarter for the Bad Romance anthology, which contains “Hyperstorm.” That one starts on May 19 to help cover print costs. I don’t know what the rewards are yet, but if we make a lot of money I get paid more, so if you’re interested in this anthology, consider getting it through the KS.

Balticon Ho!

I also have my Balticon schedule. As usual, subject to possible change.

Friday, 4pm - When Han Wasn’t Solo - Writing the Support System (not a Star Wars panel)

Friday, 5:30pm - How to be a Good Moderator

Saturday, 10am - Signing

Saturday, 2:30pm - Romanticizing the Monarchy

Saturday, 4pm - Our Favorite Monsters

Saturday, 5:30pm - Characters Who Get Better

Sunday, 10am - Writing the Gods and their Wars

Sunday, 7pm - Reading

Monday, 11:30am - Censorship and Reading - hopefully this will go better than the last book banning panel I was on, but looking at my panelists, it definitely should.        

I may even have a few (I stress a few, as eSpec aren’t there) copies of The Mists of Cairngorm. It isn’t technically released yet, but I am allowed to start selling them. I’ll be reading from it on Sunday.

Also as a note, I have two schedules. Same items, different times. I believe this one is the most recent/accurate, but please check on the day if you’re coming and looking for me. Thanks!
