Copies of Mortal Touch and both editions of Gideon Redoak will be available from Aradia in the Dealers Room. As always, I will sign any copies of Mortal Touch that you buy, and all purchasers of By Light Unseen Media books are entitled to a free 3-card, 5-minute Tarot reading, redeemable before the end of the convention. Hope to see you there!
I’ll be doing panels, a reading and generally hanging out at 3Pi-Con in West Springfield, MA this weekend, August 22-24.
On Friday night, I’ll be reading from Mortal Touch at 8:00 p.m.
On Saturday, I will be in a panel on “How to Get Published” at 1:00 p.m., a workshop/panel on “Tarot and Writing” at 2:00 p.m., and “Could Literary Vampires Exist in the Modern World?” at 11:00 p.m. (and that’s not the latest event on the schedule for Saturday!) At 5:00 p.m. I’ll be participating in the Broad Universe Rapid Fire Reading, along with my sister Broads Morven Westfield, Phoebe Wray, Elaine Isaak, Trisha Wooldridge and Michelle Murrain.
Otherwise, I’ll be going to events, hanging out, and helping with the Broad Universe table. I’m offering my usual Convention Special of a free, five-minute, three-card Tarot reading for every copy of Mortal Touch that you buy. 3Pi-Con has at-the-door admission, so if you’re in the area, check it out!
