GoH gig in NY!

Mar 22nd, 2010

As revealed at Lunacon 2010, I have been tapped to be the Author Guest of Honor at the 2011 Lunacon in Rye Brook, NY. While I've had the honor of being a GoH at conventions numerous times in the past, it has always been for my efforts with the Klingon language and not because of my work as a writer. I am, as my British friends would say, extremely chuffed!

Another piece of this news that makes it all the more special is that Lunacon's Artist GoH or 2011 will be the very talented Rachael Mayo, who has provided the covers for all three Amazing Conroy chapbooks, as well as that gorgeous wrap-around cover from my novel Buffalito Destiny. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the convention committee doesn't entice Rachael to do some promotional art for the convention, and that it will include a buffalo dog or two (possibly one sitting on -- or eating part of -- a crescent moon).

Yes, it's going to be all-buffalito all-the-time at that convention (well, okay, expect Rachael to slip in a dragon here or there too).

HUGO DEADLINE

» Sat, 31 Jul 2010 21:18:38 GMT

The deadline for submitting (or altering) your vote for this year's Hugo Awards is mere hours away (23:59 PDT).

That means there's still time for you to redress a grave injustice and cast your vote for my short story, "The Moment", and help make history in the process.

What history?, you ask?

Well... beyond the simple event of my winning the Hugo for the first time, it would also mark the first time a Klingon speaker was recognized for such a contribution to the field of science fiction.

Okay, okay, now you're asking WTF? Is he serious? and no, not really. But I'll happily take your votes anyway, and should I actually win (by some fluke of the universe), although I won't be present to accept, the convention will have a video of my very short acceptance speech in Klingon.

And there's your moment of history, folks. You've still got a few hours to make it happen. Thanks.... (more)

It's been more than two weeks since I swore off bread and drastically reduced my intake of flour and sugar. And, despite the lingering effects of some qep'a' con crud, I feel amazingly good. Empowered, actually.

I may give some thought to cutting back on diet soda next, and seeing if I can actually enjoy drinking water and/or fruit juice instead.

Of course the big test of all this will be to see how I fare during the NASFiC next week...... (more)
