Writers Conference and Book Expo

Next weekend I'm off to a writers conference and Book Expo America in Los Angeles for work. Should be exciting to connect with other writers. I'll be making posts on my work blog The M-Word (about Marketing for Writers).

The conference is a great place to meet agents and editors, so I hope to get a chance to pitch a couple of my own book ideas.

I've never been to LA before, so I'm a little nervous/excited about that. I'll try to post some pictures while I'm there.

My Weekend

Busy weekend for me. Lots of work around the house, a black belt ceremony at the school where I take Tae Kwon Do, and a booksigning at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY where I met a nice woman named Jennette Fulda who wrote a weight loss memoire called Half-Assed. Jennette started her blog Half of Me in 2005 and has since gained a large readership, written her book and recently appeared on The Today Show. Check it out... it's an amazing story and she has a hilarious voice.

As for me, I talked to lots of folks about monsters and sold several copies of my book.

Now it's back to the work week. My wife is out of town for a design conference so I've been spending a lot of time hanging out with the dog and our 3 cats. Can you tell I'm lonesome? I don't post a whole lot of "here's what I'm doing" blogs. But, yeah. Last night I started working on a book idea so I'm getting a bit of writing in, which is good. Anyway, that's what I've been doing. Now I'm off to a TKD class.

Hi Everyone,
Wanted to let everyone know about an event I have coming up.
Next weekend I'll be attending the Bluegrass Festival of Books at Joseph Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY where I'll be signing copies of my book Monster Spotter's Guide to North America.

There's lots of authors scheduled covering a wide range of topics both fiction and non-ficition. Come check it out if you're in the area. Please stop by my table and say hi. I'd love to talk to you about writing, monsters or whatever.
