2012 Appearances and Signings

So, last year was a crazy and emotional roller coaster. We had the housing disaster, lots of conventions, and a few challenges we hadn't been expecting. This year, we're trying to spend more time actually working. Still, conventions are always fun, and all work and no play makes Jack a dull author. We'll be attending several new-to-us conventions, and hopefully meeting lots of awesome people and new friends. It's going to be a great year (at least until the world ends . . )

Feb 17-18, 2012: Springfield, Missouri
Patty has been invited to VisionCon as a guest of honor. We don't often go this far south, so we may need a little coaching on our southern manners. This looks like fun, and we're looking forward to it. See you there!

May 4-6, 2012: DesMoines, Iowa
There's a lovely little convention in DesMoines, DemiCon, which we've heard about but never attended. This year, they've invited us to attend, so naturally we accepted! We're looking forward to a wonderful convention!
May 16-22, 2012: Czech Republic
Our wonderful Czech publishers invited us to come spend a few days with them and meet some of the local fans. We carefully explained that we don't speak the language, but would love a chance to come visit. We don't have a detailed itenerary yet, but I'll post more information as I get it.
May 25-28, 2012: Missoula, Montana
As always, we'll be making our annual pilgramage to beautiful Missoula Montana to attend Miscon. The hotel is lovely, the town is almost-home, and the attendees are as dear as family to us.
Aug 10-12, 2012: Spokane, WA
We're taking a short drive north to an another amazing convention, SpoCon. This is a young-ish convention, but run by some of the kindest and most dedicated people anywhere. This is also the home of my absolute favorite bunch of filk singers, InFilk. We're bringing guitars and songbooks!
Nov 1-4: Toronto Canada
We attended our first World Con last year in Reno. I was expecting pandemonium, and found something quite unexpected: a quiet and extremely informative convention. This year, Patty's been asked to attend World Fantasy Convention as a special guest. This will be another first, but we're excited. Actually, I'm not sure what special guest means — are those the folks that get thrown in the volcano to appease the earth spirits? Hmm, maybe some additional homework is in order. . .
