Chicago Comicon — no longer Wizard World — is this weekend, and I am there but not signing — (Dark Horse is not exhibiting this year). Still, there’s a chance for Star Wars comics fans to contribute to a good cause by supporting the Comix4Sight auction for fellow Star Wars creator John Ostrander. As mentioned earlier, the benefit is to help defray the costs of John’s successful glaucoma surgery, and …
Attended my first WasFEN Con yesterday — the convention of the Wausau Science Fiction Enthusiasts — and had a great time. A growing local convention, I got to meet a lot of readers and do a couple of panels, including with Tim Seeley from Wildcats and Hack/Slash. Author Pat Rothfuss, organizer Evan Cass and I were interviewed by the local CBS affiliate — the report is here. No real sign …
For those of you in Wisconsin, I am signing this weekend at WASFen, the annual convention for the Wausau Area Science Fiction Enthusiasts. It’s held at the The Plaza Hotel Conference Center, 201 N 17th Ave., from 9 to 6. The website is here. I have a panel on my work at 2:30 — and also signing will be Pat Rothfuss (author of The Name of the Wind), author Kelly …
I am pleased to report that I have posted some notes on “Skyborn,” the second chapter of Lost Tribe of the Sith, my new e-book available free from StarWars.com and from Amazon. And I’m ecstatic to report that the exodus from Comic-Con International: San Diego is ongoing — that I’m not in it! Don’t get me wrong — I do enjoy San Diego a lot, and regret not getting out …
A benefit auction has been organized and planned for Wizard World Chicago on behalf of fellow Star Wars comics writer John Ostrander, following his glaucoma surgeries. A website has been set up, Comix4Sight.com, with details on how you can support this worthy cause. Mike Gold and Adriane Nash of ComicMix have set up the auction with the help of the convention. John was guest of honor at Midsouthcon this year …
Very busy of late, but a few additions to the site: pages for September’s issue of Knights of the Old Republic (#45), and for the seventh of the Knights trade paperbacks, named Dueling Ambitions and including issues #36-41. Preorder from your retailer or from Amazon. I’ve been asked about San Diego, and no, the convention isn’t in my plans this year. It’s strictly a local convention summer for me — …
This past weekend was something like my eleventh or twelfth Midsouthcon since the mid-1980s, and as usual it was a blast. This time, the big change was in venue — at the Whispering Woods Conference Center in Olive Branch, just outside Memphis — and in the number of Star Wars-related folk in attendance. Above is Cullen Johnson‘s photo of registration — which I liked because it got in the “CSI” …

Very busy week coming up here. I’m in Memphis for Midsouthcon — panel schedule when I have it — and also Knights of the Old Republic #39 is set to go on sale this week. Plus, our new storyline just started at Sword & Sarcasm, and there are new posts up at The Comics Chronicles. What? Fill out my NCAA brackets? Sure. Can I do it after the games, when …
Working non-stop, but I finally had a moment to get some pages set up for my game work. There’s a page for my Dawn of Defiance module for the Star Wars Role-Playing Game — it’s not released yet, but that’ll be where the notes go (and where there will be link to the Wizards download page). And, yes — ye cats! — I finally got around to writing up some …
