Out and About

I’m going to be moving around the country a lot this year so I thought it would be cool to let you know where and when.

March 16-21, 2009 CSUN Conference Los Angeles CA

Unfortunately, CSUN may be a “no-go” — the organizers, after accepting our paper, now can find no record of its even having been submitted.

Oh, oh, oh, oh! Can I tempt you to come to Canada! I’ll take you whale watching and show you those dolphins that Ish is connected to. My favourite dolphin is the world’s largest dolphin, orcinus orca, otherwise known as “orca”, “killer whale”. Every summer since 2003, we’ve journeyed to visit the Northern Resident orca population. This year is planned for Aug. 23 - 30. I know it might not fit into your schedule but you can go most anytime between late June and late Sept. and most be guaranteed of seeing them. And everytime you mention whelkies in your stories, I always think of the pebbles that line special beaches that the orcas use to rub against. They are smooth and satiny and evoke a feeling of connectedness to the world when you touch them.

Yea .. I’m missing Canada. I haven’t been north of the border for a couple of years. Back before I needed a passport. Got the passport, but haven’t managed a northward trip for too long. Someday, before too long, I hope.

How a about coming over to the UK? Now you have a passport there is nothing stopping you. We can show you the sights and a pub or 2, all you now is to get here and bring ‘Double Share’. :-)

Thats a ditto. Come up to the North Bay and visit Sebastopol, CA. My wife and I will put you up and feed you as well. Love your tales. I have just started Double Share and when finished with that I’ll start South Gate. Thank you for your talent and sharing it with the rest of the world. Can’t wait to meet you.

No worries, George. It’s the nature of the beast.

Ken, I usually get to LA about once a year, but the convention I attend there has moved its home city to San Diego for next year, but I’ll certainly let people know when I’m traveling.

Kirk and Steve, I get to SF so rarely, I can’t predict when I might be traveling there again.

Ojak, the UK is on my List Of Places to Get To. I have no idea when/how that might happen but there’s several people and places I want to see and if I ever head across the pond, know that I’ll make much of it here.

Meantime, I’m at BaltiCon at Hunt’s Vally, MD and starting Saturday with a writing workshop run by Mur Lafferty. This should be a blast.
