The Cosmic Chuckling Continues

March 15, 2020 by James Young Leave a Comment

News From the Con World

December 3, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

This mirrors what a lot of other vendors have said about the 2019 season and concerns about 2020. While I will be potentially doing as many shows, I’m definitely leaning towards new markets with proven performers. This is also something to consider for the larger author community. One may have to take a deep breath […]

Music Monday: A Classic Gets the Epic Treatment and Some News

September 16, 2019 by James Young Leave a Comment

It’s the third Monday, and you know what that means–SCORE DAY! A big trend in trailer music lately has been to update classic, recognizable songs and give them the “Epic” treatment (i.e., soaring instrumentals and drum tracks).  If you can hear the “Trailer Voice” guy narrating your book trailer to one of these songs, that’s […]

The Write Up That Was Foretold…

February 28, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

So about a year ago, when I was talking to several of my fellow indie author friends, they mentioned a convention known as “LTUE.”  When I asked what the acronym stood for, I was told, “Life, The Universe, and Everything.”  Being familiar with conventions overselling and underperforming (and shamefully not recognizing the Hitchhiker’s Guide to […]

February 19, 2019 by James Young 1 Comment

Hey Everyone!

Four Days With My People (GENCON 2018)

August 19, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

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.  […]

August 6, 2018 by James Young Leave a Comment

GENCON was amazing.  But, it’s late, and I have to go to work.  Just like to give a shout out to all the staff, volunteers, and attendees who made it a great four days. If you’re into fantasy, check out my booth neighbor J.J. Sherwood and her Steps of Power series!
