Four Days With My People (GENCON 2018)
GENCON. Man. Part of the reason I’ve taken so long to do this AAR is that I was having trouble trying to put the experience into words. It’s been two weeks since I loaded out of Indianapolis and began the long trip home…and I still find myself having a goofy smile for no good reason. …

Writer Resource
Friend and fellow author J. R. Frontera has started cohosting a podcast. It’s aimed to helping indie authors who are parents with tips. I know this is approaching from an entirely different axis than your humble narrator (whose kids are furry), but I figure it may utility for readers of this blog.
