Norwescon Recap

| April 23, 2019

I spent the weekend at Norwescon, and for the first time in years, I was simply there as an attendee–no vendor’s room or author’s row table, not speaking on panels, and basically no obligations except as part of the Broad Universe reading. So I got to attend a bunch of panels and take some writing […]

Norwescon Is Coming!

| April 11, 2019

I’m not on panels at Norwescon this year, nor am I vending in any capacity, but I’m attending the convention. This is the first time in a long time that I won’t be “working,” which is especially good because our niece is going to be visiting and attending the convention with us. So you might […]

Punk in Science Fiction and Fantasy

| April 16, 2018

At Norwescon, I spoke on a panel about punk in science fiction and fantasy. At first, I was pretty sure that I didn’t have very much to say on the subject, especially in comparison to my co-panelists. But it wound up being a great conversation about punk music, the punk aesthetic, and the many, many […]

Norwescon General Recap

| April 9, 2018

Easter weekend in Seattle always means Norwescon to me! I attended a little bit sporadically the first few years I was in Seattle, but now I pretty much go every year. In many cases, we have a table for DefCon One Publishing, my Scary White Girl Designs craft business, or both businesses in the dealer’s […]

Quiet Monday

| April 2, 2018

I’m back from Norwescon, and I’m working on getting my head around all of the things I saw and did while I was there. There will be posts about that soon, but for today, I’m trying to have a bit of a quieter day, despite needing to catch up on a great many things!  

Don’t Forget: Norwescon this weekend!

| March 27, 2018

Here’s a reminder that Norwescon is this weekend, Thursday through Sunday! And if you’re going to be there, you can find me on the following panels, readings, and autograph session. I’ll be at the DefCon One table in the Dealer’s Room most of the rest of the time! Thursday The New, New Doctor 2:00pm – […]

My Norwescon Schedule!

| March 13, 2018

For the first time, I’m a panelist at Norwescon! I’ve been attending this convention most years since I moved to Seattle, where I’ve sold crafts, books, some combination of the two, and done some of the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Readings. And a lot of cosplay. But this year, I’ll be sitting on panels as […]

Norwescon!

| March 24, 2015

Norwescon schedules have begun popping up. I figured I’d add mine to the mix. On Friday, I will be in the dealer’s room, helping out my friend Friday by selling tea at her booth (Friday Afternoon) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. (with a short break to go listen to Jeremy read at 10:30 a.m.). […]
