I wanted to share the notes that I used at AnomalyCon 2016 in Denver, Colorado during my featured hour. Remember, this isn't meant to be a formal article. It's a collection of information. If you find something in particular you'd like to know more about, I encourage you to hit google and I'm betting you will find dozens of articles on anything mentioned here. I did!

I'm going to write more focused AnomalyCon blog entries as soon as my squirrel brain calms down, but in the meantime, here's a handful of memories. I'm still catching up on all the sleeps and figuring out how to get back into the routine of life in Michigan.
Recently a friend who quite aptly goes by the nickname "Bookworm" purchased four copies of The Flight To Brassbright. She donated them all to Little Free Libraries in South Minneapolis and Richfield, Minnesota. What a delightful act of kindness!
Last month I gave a talk at the Aether Salon in New Babbage, a virtual steampunk city in Second Life. There was a record crowd of avatars representing published writers, hopeful writers, and other interested folk. The transcript, along with the graphics from my slide show presentation (yes you can run a slide show in a virtual setting) has been posted.
The Octo-Fairy pictured in this post would like to welcome Denver-area kids (or intrepid travelers coming from afar with their grownups) to a special day of programming at AnomalyCon on March 25th, 2016.
Welcome, word wranglers! If you’re here, odds are that you’ve written a story, or are thinking about writing one, or you really like to…
I've received assorted encouragements during the past week, and am spending my Saturday reflecting on them. I'm very grateful for all the wonderful folk I'm encountering on this crazy writing journey.
Excitement! In March, I'll be attending my first-ever con as a guest author. No, I'm not nervous, why do you ask? *casually snaps pencil in half without noticing*.
I'll be participating in eight panels alongside lots of wonderful authors, including some of my own personal favorites. I'll be trying very hard not to go all fangirl on them. I'll also be judging a costume contest and co-hosting the Grand Tea.
As we all relax and enjoy Coal Week, in anticipation of Refueling Day, I suppose it would be nice if you knew more about the biggest holiday in all of Industralia. The children of Industralia all know the story well. As my New Year's gift to you, I offer a short story for the season.
