So this is all official now, and we've booked flights and such...would you like to come say hi and hang out with, er, me, and a bunch of other AMAZING romance authors (C.S. Pacat!) in Melbourne, Australia in April?



Also! I have made a pre-order form for people to order paperbacks, so I have some idea of how much to bring along (and to avoid business visa messiness) - and I suppose this also works for everyone else, too - if you might like signed copies of some of my books?

You can order those here!

(I absolutely have this creeping fear that I am a very little author in a very big pond and no-one will want any books or even to come say hi! Oh, well; at least I shall get to visit Australia...?)

So the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention is happening in two weeks! June 20-21! And I'll be doing an author reading, and also on a panel about outlaws! And it's free!

Some more details: the Rainbow Space Magic Virtual Convention is designed for LGBTQIA+ sci-fi & fantasy creators and fans - here's the description from their website:

"...an online LGBTQ+ science fiction and fantasy convention designed to help fill the terrible empty place of canceled in-person conventions during the current crisis as well as offering an SFF convention to those readers and writers in the queer community who struggle to travel or attend physical conventions. Free to participants and convention-goers, RSM seeks to bring like-minded people together, providing LGBTQ+ readings and panels from a safe social distance."

It's in part being run by a lovely author friend (and mastermind of the Queer SF website) J. Scott Coatsworth, and so when they were putting it together, I got asked if I wanted to join in! So...here's my schedule:

1) Outlaws & Adversaries Panel Discussion, Sunday June 21, 1:00pm-2:00pm EDT (or 10-11am if you're in California like me): Angel Martinez, Kim Fielding, K.L. Noone, Vance Bastien
2) Author Reading Panel, Sunday June 21, 7:00-8:00pm EDT (or 4-5pm if you're in California like me): Chloe Spencer, K.L. Noone, Kellie Doherty

Come join us and hang out with a group of LGBTQIA+ sci-fi and fantasy fans and authors! Again, totally free, but they will ask you to register to receive the web links for the panels and such! Here's the home page link, here's the registration link, here's the overall schedule, and here's the Facebook event link!

Feel free to share and invite people! We're hoping for an awesome (fantastic?) turnout! (You'll notice some other awesome people involved...Scott, as I mentioned, but also kellyscams will be doing a reading and also on a panel, and Antonia Aquilante, and more!)

I haven't quite decided what I'm reading yet - might be the opening of Cadence and the Pearl, or maybe something new...or both - whatever I can manage in 15 minutes! We shall see...

And one more small piece of news: yesterday I signed a contract with JMS Books for a flash fiction lesbian high fantasy erotica short! It's called "Honey Witch" and it'll probably be out in August, priced at 99 cents (or 79 cents for pre-orders)! It's about, well - an earth-witch who specializes in divination with honey, and desires, and a princess with a question, in need of some...help...

And I hope you'll like it!
