SciFi Saturday, August 2, at the York Emporium in York, PA, delivered everything it advertised and a lot more.
The whole weekend qualified as “a lot more”, which is ironic considering I thought I cleared my calendar for SciFi Saturday. But three days before I left for Pennsylvania, Greg and I learned some of our favorite relatives would be visiting from Florida, and [profile] pds_litand [personal profile] realthogwould be in the area on business. To top it off, on Friday, Greg learned his best friend’s daughter was moving in down the street…as it was happening. 
I never got to see the relatives. :-(  But I was able to join real pds_lit and realthog for brunch earlier today. :-)  And the great thing about new neighbors is they obviously plan to stick around for a while. The question is would an offering of homemade baked goods inspire them to stay or flee? Remember, I am the daughter of the worst American cook of the 20th century.
Thank heavens for bakeries!
Finally, teh cute. The Duz takes his duties as a writer’s cat seriously. Here’s the basis for my latest LJ icon. As you can see, he’s filled out considerably from his December 2006 portrait.  Greg thinks he's growing up to be a fine panda.  Of course, Greg is the one who sneaks him the cream.  I, on the other hand, reserve it for special occasions, like mouse presentations.
Duzie has us so well-trained.
Cheers and smiles,
Jean Marie

Because if you don't, you'll miss the York Emporium's SciFri Saturday with author signings, blooper reels (with popcorn!), a visit from NASA, stand-up comedy, an art show and meeeeee!  I'll be one of the authors signing.  I don't think I'll be contributing to the comedy or the bloopers, but you never can tell.  More details can be found here.
I'll also be appearing at DragonCon, August 29 - September 1.  It remains, in Teri's immortal words, my favorite summer camp for wayward adults.  I don't know my final schedule yet, but it looks like I'll be on at least three tracks.  
In addition, I'll be signing books with six other authors at the Fort Meade Post Exchange and Borders in Columbia, MD, on Saturday, September 13.  I'll be talking more about these signings later, but at the moment it looks like we'll be at the PX from 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. and the Borders from 2-4 p.m.  There will be giveaways and prizes, and wild and crazy writers.
Oh wait.  Wild + Crazy = Writers.  Guess it can't be helped.  ;-)
Finally, you may have noticed a new link on my LJ page.  A few weeks ago a friend introduced me to BookTour.com.  It's a great resource for finding author signings and events in your neighborhood.  I'll be using it to keep my calendar until I can get my new web site up and running.
Yeah, I'm behind on that too.  LOL
Cheers!
