Singing schedule for Chicago’s C2E2 convention

My signing schedule for C2E2 at Chicago’s Lakeside Center at McCormick Place has been finalized. I’ll be signing Mass Effect, Knights of the Old Republic, and any other books you might bring — so be sure to stop by the Dark Horse booth if you have the chance. I’ll be signing on Friday April 16th at 2 p.m., and again on Saturday, April 17th at 3 p.m. Hope to see …

Knights of the Old Republic: The countdown begins!

An exceptionally busy week here, as mentioned. A few housekeeping matters: • I’ll be attending the new Chicago convention, the Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo, in April. I don’t know yet whether I’ll be making the Wizard show in Chicago in August, given its proximity to Star Wars Celebration. • Jazma Online has an interview conducted with me before the Knight Errant announcement. • I now have the name of …

Star Wars Celebration V announced for Orlando, Aug. 12-15

Good news! Star Wars Celebration V has been announced for August 12-15 in Orlando Florida. The official site is here. And in what is even better news (for me, anyway), the conflict between those dates and those for Wizard World Chicago, which I usually try to attend, has already been resolved. Wizard is moving its show to the following weekend, citing Star Wars Celebration. I’ll definitely be attending Star Wars …

Fun at Baltimore Comicon, Diamond Summit

Well, Baltimore Comicon has been over for a week, but the Diamond Retailer Summit has only been over for a few days, so hopefully a few notes on it now won’t be too late. This was my first time at both events, and it was a lot of fun. I met some old friends and new ones, and got a good look at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor area after years of …

JJM on Facebook and Twitter

My Baltimore trade show and con notes will have to wait until my head stops pounding — wouldn’t be a convention if you didn’t catch something — but for those looking for updates on my work, I’d note there are two ways to get them now: I have a Twitter feed for my fiction site, and after a trial period I’m opening up my Facebook page to visitors of this …

I’m also Dark Horse’s featured guest later at the Diamond Retailer Summit — I’ll be appearing …

January 2010: Dual duels from Dark Horse

Dark Horse has released its solicitations for January 2010 — a month that includes two comic books from yours truly. First there’s the premiere issue of Mass Effect: Redemption (my script on a Mac Walters plot, with art by Omar Francia and a cover by Daryl Mandryk); that should be in shops on January 6. Here’s the first look at the cover with the logo… And, why not, here’s some …

Chicago Comicon 2009: Back to the Past

This weekend was my eighth consecutive Chicago Comicon, although in a sense it was my first. Chicago Comicon is the name it was known by before its purchase by Wizard Entertainment in 1998, and Wizard changed the name back this year presumably to preserve its trademark against the new show arriving in town next year, or perhaps to capitalize on the increasing popular awareness of the name after San Diego. …
