Hunted across a Japanese hellscape, a desperate First Lady must face murderous zealots, crazed abominations, and unholy magic to gain an audience with the shogun. But when speaking the truth spreads a literal plague, is resistance worth the cost?
It's fourth of July weekend. More importantly, it's CONvergence week! Yes, I will once again return to my old stomping grounds of Minneapolis and St. Paul (mostly Minneapolis, stomping is frowned upon in St. Paul, especially after nine p.m.) in order to attend the Convergence Science Fiction and Fantasy convention in Bloomington, Minnesota.
And lest you think I'm going empty handed...
That's right con goers, prepare to find one of these bad boys on counter tops, taped to walls, and shoved under the doors of your convention hotel room, because I ordered a lot of them and my apartment isn't that big.
I won't just be going person to person promoting my book, however. I'll also be be promoting my book to groups of persons, a practice known in convention parlance as "paneling." I will be discussing "Building Worlds for Fiction" on Friday at 3:30 and finding ways to write jokes into the malevolent future societies that await us in the "Dystopia in Humor/Humor in Dystopia panel at 9:30 Sunday morning. Because nothing says comedy, like an AM panel on a convention weekend. There will also be stacks of postcards for all who attend.
And don't miss my fellow writers and performers from Our Fair City as they perform our live radioplay "The Archibald Funnypants Variety Hour" at 4 PM on the mainstage before the closing ceremonies. Music! Molepeople! Live foley! You might even see me onstage, very briefly.
It's going to be a big weekend. So if you or anyone you know or might have known or will might have known in an alternate timeline that was currently erased from existence are in Minneapolis this weekend, swing by CONvergence and say hi. Who knows, there could even be a postcard in it for you.
