The C2E2 Experience

The Joy of connecting

C2E2 was once again a wild and interesting time. As a newer author, the joy of C2E2 is in meeting up with other writers and geeking out together in our fandom. I love my fellow Harper Voyager Impulse peeps and we attended each others panels and generally supported each other - enjoyed a drink together after the festivities.

My Panel was on Sunday, March 20th, and was on Sidekicks in literature and popular culture. It was a fun discourse between writers and was well attended. Was thrilled that fellow Impulse writer Lexie Dunne was on it with me.

We signed books after - and then I was free to wander around drooling over the floor displays and admiring the excellent cosplay. Sunday is kid's day at C2E2  and there was so much joy in my heart watching all the beautiful girls portraying Rey from Star Wars. What a great, strong role model to see girls emulating!
        My husband and I enjoyed wandering around Chicago. I rewarded myself with some deep dish pizza and a visit to the Field Museum to do some research on my next series. All in all a fun weekend!

I've added a new tab to this website. Click on Appearances and it will list the book panels, fairs and signings I'll be attending in the next year. Keep checking back and I'll add as get more information!

On that score - here are a couple of spring appearances:

I'll be in Chicago in March - back at C2E2 this year, Sunday March 20th
Ode to Sidekicks

March 20, 2016, 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Speakers Kelley Grant, Lynne M. Thomas,  Judd Winick, Christina Henry, Jaleigh Johnson and Lexie Dunne
Frodo wouldn’t have made it to Mordor without Samwise Gamgee, and Daenerys Targaryen owes her success to her fire-breathing buddies. Harry Dresden & Bob, Rachel Morgan & Jenks, and Batman & Robin--they work so much better together than separately. More often than not, sidekicks are the ones responsible for getting our heroes across the finish line, so join a panel of authors as they shine a spotlight on some of the best unsung heroes of SFF: the humble, yet completely essential sidekicks. Book signings after from 1:15 - 2:15 at the back of the showroom floor.

I'll also be at the Ohioana Book Fair on Saturday April 23rd, the weekend after The World Weavers releases in digital! HV Impulse friends Laura Bickle and Alison Stine will also be there.
