Time for the annual "announcement too late to be useful" announcement

MicroCon is this Sunday at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul.

For the first time in several years, I'll be an attendee instead of a guest. It's been a while since I published my last book, and competition for space at MicroCon is fierce. I've been honored that they have invited me back year after year, and have felt like I was skating on their largess. I think I'll actually have more fun this weekend because the pressure's off... especially the pressure on my butt in those chairs for six hours! It'll be great to stop in, stay as long as I want, see all my friends, scout out some talent, and then vamoose.

By this October, I'll have a new book printed and more in the works, and hopefully they'll invite me back as a guest for FallCon.

I know I say this every time, but the guys who run this con are simply some of the nicest people in comics. It's a thrill to go, it's a treat to be a guest, and I hope you all make an effort to get out here for at least one MicroCon or FallCon.

(Did I just say "new book printed"? Yes, I did. I guess I haven't really mentioned it here yet. And I still won't. However, plans are to have this book ready by Wizard World Chicago. So...more soon!)
