Rose City Comic Con!

What's going on this weekend? Well, Rose City Comic Con in Portland is going on of course. So here I am with my spocky eyebrows and crazy hair to tell you what we're up to at the Convention Center.
 

It's the UNIPIPER! I couldn't think of it in spite of saying Unicycle guy with Flaming Bagpipes! Gargh! Want to see the cover for the newest addition to the Red Slipper Series? Here it is. :D

Come by to chat Werewolves, and get yourself a tin of the Wizardly Summer Pudding Tea!

Rose City Comic Con -- be there or be square like a minecraft character.

Teasers aplenty!

I'm trying to up my social media game, and that means posting teasers. I've been making them pretty consistently for a little while, but I thought I'd share them here.

Teasers for the Trilogy of Tinna (my favourites!)

The Red Slipper Series

Book 1, The Wizard King: 

Book 2, A Problem of Ghosts

 Book 3; The Beast With Silver Eyes (TBR in September)

There you have it so far. These are really fun to make!

And lastly, here is a little peek at what the costume for the cover of The Beast With Silver Eyes (a very subtle peek). Sumptuous velvet trimmed in silver (which looks a little gold in the yellow light).

Post-Comic-Con Recovery

Yes, it's taken me this long to recover from Wizard World Portland Comic Con. It's a pretty epic con and I sold SO MANY BOOKS, and met SO MANY AWESOME PEOPLE! I love the conventions so much, I can't stop doing them. I'm really looking forward to the Rose City Comic Con coming up in September.  I hope you'll drop by and visit!

Problem of Ghosts is off to a lovely start. I'm really having a great deal of fun with the Red Slipper series (Regency, With a Twist!)--and I think I'l be doing more of these books. Regency with wizards; Regency with Ghosts, and coming up soon (I hope) Regency with Werewolves and Regency with Giants! There are so many fun places to go with this one.

I also have some other genres on the cooker, and am slowly pecking my way through them. I've tried to refine my production process and stick to one project at a time. Being a Fly-By-The-Seat-Of-My-Pants kind of writer, with a healthy dose of attention deficit disorder, I tend to go Squirrel too often. But my mentor Shéa MacLeod is teaching me that focus is what works, and Problem of Ghosts is evidence of that. So apart from stopping to write down the new ideas that come along while on a project, I have been working exclusively on the book tentatively called Magpie.

Will I go back to epic fantasy, and possibly Tinna's world? I don't know yet. Tinna's trilogy has sort of burned itself through me and left me breathless. So now I am focusing on lighter fiction.  The time may come when I go back to check in on Tinna, her two husbands, Avria and the baby Istvan.

In the meantime; I sold MANY of the trilogy at Comic Con this year.  I even snagged a Lady Sif who was so reminiscent of Tinna in book 2, I had to have a photo op.

My table assistant cosplayed at Tinna from book one, but would you believe I didn't get a decent image of her? I'll bug her and see if she got one.  She spent the convention like a little embassador, roaming wildly and spreading the word of Tinna and her world.

I'm plugging along! I'll have a fabulous giveaway to offer soon, so stay tuned!
