Hello, friends. Buttondown tells me I haven’t sent an email in two months and I believe it. I have been extremely busy with school. I have been taking a lot of fluff courses which require me to write essays which steals away my writing spoons. However I am in the final stretch of these fluff courses and then I’ll have just math-based classes which require no writing essays (I hope). So hopefully I’ll have more energy and time for writing going forwards.

But! I also have news for upcoming events as well!

Snapdragon Books

If you live in Cincinnati, I will be at Snapdragon Books and Gifts (4471 Bridgetown Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45211) on Saturday, Febuary 21st from 11 to 2. I’m also hoping to have USB drives with ebooks on it available for purchase as well.

Other Events

I have four other big events planned for this year stating with CONington in April. If you’d like to by tickets you can do so here: https://conington.org/

June is promising to be busy with the Big Ohio Book Con the first weekend. This is an absolutuely huge event and is being headlined by Leigh Bardugo which is pretty cool. Even if I probably won’t run into her. https://www.bigohiobookcon.com/

After that I’ve got the Chicago Steampunk Exposition. This is a favorite event of mine run by some very dear friends. I’d love to go to other steampunk events but unfortunately I can only afford one this year. https://chicagosteampunkexpo.com/

Finally in October I’ve got Con on the Cob. I don’t know what to expect with this event but it was recommended by a friend so I hope that it turns out to be a good time. https://tabletop.events/conventions/con-on-the-cob-2026

I do have some other event applications pending so stay tuned for further updates. If you know of any bookish events within a couple hours of Cincinnati be sure to let me know!

Your friend in books and trains,
