Hello, my lovelies! Returned from Baltimore Book Fest , wet and not unscathed — darn cold fingers and steel corset snaps! Pictures will be up…soonish (and not of the thumb injury, because I will not have you guys all freaking out on me again. Suffice it to say it’s bad). Came home to exhaustion and HERO’s edit letter, which…
It’s the time of year again — can you believe it? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it’s time for the 2012 Baltimore Book Festival! (Sept. 28-30) I will be making appearances on Saturday and Sunday at both the Maryland Romance Writers Stage and the Science Fiction Writers of America tent.

A bunch of us are over on Twitter (@aletheakontis) chatting about free books, swag, and the downsides of being generous. But don’t concentrate on the bad…let’s think about the good stuff! Like always, I will have lots of free swag to give away at Dragon*Con. There will be the 48 bags of freebies for Princess Alethea’s Traveling Sideshow, as…
Hello, everybody! It’s that time again — Dragon*Con 2012 is almost upon us! (I know because I’m already haveing anxiety dreams about packing.) Here’s my programming schedule for the convention.

Casey and I loved…

Much geekery will abound, ALL DAY LONG. Please join us! Here is a handy flyer for your reminding pleasure: I hope to have…

The trouble with going on book tour when your book comes out is that all these wonderful things happen online when you’re on the road! So, in no particular order: ******************* Look Ma! I’m on stage directly after Neil Gaiman! Here is the online recording of the Nebula Awards Ceremony — I show up around 1:12:00, right after Neil…
Things to remember for future book tours: * Eat as well as you can. Stock the car with granola bars, gum, and water. Stay away from spicy foods.
