It’s true, I will be on two Panels at LOSCON.

  • 55. Fairy Folklore – Time travel, dimension hopping, the different aspects of traditional fairy folklore and how they can be used in modern stories.
    Catherynne M. Valente, Jonnalyhn Wolfcat, Allison Lonsdale (m), E.E. King, and Robert Seutter – SAT 10:00 am – 11:00 am, Marquis 3
  • 127. Mythpunk as a Genre – What is it, why is it relevant? We’ve all heard of steampunk, how is this different?
    Catherynne M. Valente, Allison Lonsdale, E.E. King, and Robert Seutter –
    SUN 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm, Marquis 1

Come check out the panels and have some fun at the Con!

So, how is everyone doing out there? For all those who are competing in my contest, I hope you are passing on the link to the books and getting a lot of friends to take a peek! Because you know you want a cameo for yourself or a friend in a Brass Jack short story, right? Right!

By the way, I heard this from my Editor.

Ohmygosh, I just read the coolest passage ever. I have chills from the sheer coolness. Robert Seutter… I am so so so proud to be part of this. #amediting

Always a nice thing to hear from someone working on your book! (Grin!)

Awesome-est thing about #editing is having the privilege of telling the #author exactly how much a passage affects me. #amediting @huntpress — @LaureenH

Short Story Contest

How many times have you read a novel and said, “Man, it would be fun to be in a story like that!” Well, now you can! I’m running a competition!

I will write a character inspired by you (and with your input) into a short story based on the Brass Jack universe. To be that lucky character is really easy: Ask your friends to check out either Brass Jack: Little Lost Princeling or Brass Jack: A Fine Insurrection. Keep track of how many friends have participated. Whomever has the most friends do this by the end of the November wins! After the short story is finished and approved, a link will be posted online and a signed copy sent to you.

So, what will it be? Deadly Psi-Knight? Imperial Powered Armor Trooper? Mysterious sword-wielding Scrat?

Second place prize: You will have starship named after a person of your choosing. Third place prize: You can die in a fascinating/comical way in a future novel. Please pass this on! So, who is in?

(Counting is done on the honor system. You can keep track of emails, tweets, Facebook comments and/or likes. I trust you, you trust your friends, everyone wins!)

Would you buy a book from this bear?
