Eee! I had the wrong time. This Saturday’s event with me and Tamara Kaye Sellman at Saltwater Bookshop in Kingston WA will start at 5 PM, not 3:30 PM as I had previously said. Still: a good time, a tasty bakery next door and plenty of writer shenanigans, I’m sure. Hoping to see you all there! Check out the Event Page for more info.
This Saturday, November 23, at 3:30 pm I’m going to be reading, talking and signing books at Saltwater Bookshop in Kingston WA along with Tamara Kaye Sellman—another Kitsap area writer and the author of Cul de Sac Stories, which came out earlier this year from Aqueduct Press. Get details on my event page.
Saltwater Bookshop is a new independent bookstore just up the road a bit from the Kingston ferry terminal (both car and fast foot ferries) and at this time of year, Kingston is already starting to put up their over-the-top light display around the marina, so it’s going to be festive and slightly weird as only a Northwest tiny town can be (I can only say: festive fish made of lights…). And of course it’ll also be fun, because Tamara is delightful and we love indie bookshops! There’s also a tasty bakery next door, so now all we need is some cool folks to come hang out with us and enjoy some author shenanigans, books, treats, and a (hopefully) pretty view on the way to and fro.
See you all there!
New information for Squatchcon, and Left Coast Crime has been posted to the Events Page.
Pretty exciting stuff for me: teaching a Magic Systems Workshop at SquatchCon, as well as hosting a Writers Meetup there and speaking on some cool panels. Some small changes to a reading at Norwescon, and updates on the Left Coast Crime panels I’ll be on in April. Check it out!
So, due to some personal stuff, I had to ask for a change to my reading schedule at Norwescon. I am still going to read an excerpt from Storm Waters, but it’ll be Thursday night instead of Friday afternoon.
Change info: Reading (Storm Waters novel excerpt) Thursday March 28, 7:00PM-7:30PM in Cascade 3. Because this is later, the reading will be R-rated so, now you know.
See the Event Page for additional information.
If you miss it and really really wanted to hear me read, drop a comment and I’ll see if I can work something out to create little “extra time with Kat” thing during the Con.
I’ve received information and posted what I can confirm of my Spring Convention and Events schedule. So if you want to catch up to me in March or April this year, visit the Events Page! I’m really excited to be teaching some writing and editing workshops, chatting with writers and fans, moderating and speaking on panels, and hanging out with some really cool folks around Western Washington! Hoping to see some of you out in the Wilds of Western Washington this Spring!
So, I’ve gone and registered for two upcoming genre conventions in my area: Norwescon—Seattle-area’s longest-running Science Fiction and Fantasy convention, which happens over Easter Weekend (March 28-31 this year) at the Hilton-Doubletree near SeaTac airport; and Left Coast Crime—a wandering Mystery Literature convention which will be hosted at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue On Seattle’s Eastside (what a mouthful), in mid-April.
I’m already talking to the programming folks at NWC, so I will be on at least a few panels and I might be holding some workshops. LCC is a bit of a different beast, since the programming folks essentially look at who wants to be on programming and what they are good at or interesting to hear talking about, and then stick them on a panel that fits. Or don’t. Because you don’t attend Mystery conventions as a pro the same way you attend SFF cons. Panel selection is based on the programming folks knowledge of the genre and the attendees, so the panels are likely to be created to showcase the writers and other pros that the attendees are most likely to want to see or hear from, plus a few smaller names to round out the panel and give the newer or lesser-known folks a hand up. Therefore, I have no idea if I’ll be on anything at all. But it’s always fun to hang out with the Mystery Fans and writers regardless.
So if any of you are hoping to catch up to me in person before the my next book comes out (sometime next year) that’s a couple of places you can find me. Hope to see some of you around!
