So I do a bunch of panels (and a reading) and talk about the geeky stuff we all love to packed rooms. It’s a deep-dive into geek with folks who appreciate that - and often out-geek me. Naturally, the biggest reason I go to conventions is to help make people aware that I’ve written books, and that they might like reading them. (So is con-crud, but that’s a different story.) DragonCon is one giant celebration of all things geeky, and the positivity is contagious.

This will be my first repeat con, and there’s a reason for that. Folks there really are friendlier, it seems.īut I’m about to head south to another friendly place - DragonCon. Maybe it’s a grass-is-greener thing (though the drought in California has done a number to said grass), but more likely, it’s just an attitude thing. Every time we head West, coming back East seems like a let-down. I’m back home for something like three full days, having spent the past two weeks in glorious California.
