Later this week, I’m excited to attend NorWesCon, the largest Sci-Fi/Fantasy conference in the Pacific Northwest. While I’ll mostly be in the writing panels, I am ducking out a bit here and there to play some Munchkin, Magic, and whatever other board games I find appealing.

For me, conferences are one of the funnest things a writer/author gets to do! And when its my genre (SF/F), I’m double psyched! In between panels, I can also duck into the dealer’s room, artist’s alley, and watch the interesting cosplay!

If you’re going, and you’d like to know my schedule, or you’re just curious or stalkerific, I’ll post it here, behind the cut.
