Out & About

A few months ago I was introduced to Lon Safko at a local Phoenix event. The details are fuzzy, but through a series of mutual acquaintances, it was decided that Lon and I needed to get together. He was (and still is) busy compiling data and gathering “experts” for The Social Media Bible, due out [...]

Fred Casteneda has just posted an interview with me on his show, The Struggling Entrepreneur podcast. We talked a lot about Expert Podcast Practices for Dummies, Podiobooks.com and my life as… a struggling entrepreneur! Props to Fred for asking me to be on his show.
One of my other co-authors, Tee Morris, was interviewed on [...]

As the Lovely Wife is upstairs packing for the event, and I sit here trying to finish my presentation, it occurs to me that I need to post the “official” agenda of where and when I’ll be at the Portable and New Media Expo, happening the for three fun-filled days in Ontario California. Here’s the [...]

For those of you interested in the Fantasy side of life, check out this interview I did with my friend Kurt on the official World Fantasy 2008 podcast. Thanks for having me on, Kurt. You Calgarians sure know how to make a guy feel welcome. I always love a good excuse to go to Canada, [...]

Hear me spread the gospel of Podiobooks.com far and wide! I recently guested on View from the Quad, and the interview is now live. I’m really interested to hear how this turned out, as both Cian and I were having horrible connection issues before and during the interview. I think we tried at least five [...]

When we were out at Balticon, we stayed with the incredibly generous and cool Paul Fischer and Martha Holloway. They let us crash at their place and explore the D.C. area, saving me tons of cash in hotel charges. To top it off, they were awesome hosts!
While we were there, I recorded an ADD [...]

Moments ago, I received my schedule for LepreCon. I thought I had requested Saturday times, but maybe I said Friday. Whatever. I can make it work. However, there seems to be a conflict with the last two. Think I’ll go to the second and then head to the third, assuming they are holding it in [...]

On more than one occasion, someone has lamented the fact that we attended the same event but managed to miss each other. Even more frequently, people want to meet with me at these events, yet don’t know my full schedule.
I aim to change both of this right now with my Schedule of Appearances calendar.
As the [...]

Once again I’ll be making an appearance at the Arizona Book Festival on April 14th.
I’m not exactly sure what I’ll be doing, as the organizers have asked me to again host some author panels (easy enough) and perhaps do a signing (groan). I’ll skip the last part.
But they’ve also asked my Lovely Wife Sheila to [...]
