Ascendio 2012

This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Ascendio convention. Now, this is a convention for Harry Potter fans (which I am, and forever will be) but what actually drew me there was the "Quill Track," a schedule filled with author/agent panels, author readings/signings, and agent pitch sessions. It was truly an amazing experience.

 I attended with one of my critique partners, Amy Christine Parker. Er, Voldermort was there as well.

 This was one of the author panels I attended.

(l-r, Mark Oshiro, Carlie Webber, Lindsay Ribar, Libba Bray, Joanna Volpe)

I went to Libba Bray's reading where she read the beginning of The Diviners. Can. Not. Wait.

Then, she turned into a zombie.

Oh noes!

I also met Beth Revis, who was awesome and funny and really nice.

Of course, there was all sorts of fun merchandise. These were my favorites. They had Harry Potter too, but I'm posting the Doctor Who ponies because the middle one is just scary.

Don't blink.



And then there was karaoke.

And dancing.

Yep, that's Quirrell and Tonks swing dancing to Johnny B. Goode. Sadly, I did not get a picture of Snape and James polka dancing.

I did however get this picture.



And this one.

The later it got, the sillier everyone got, which was a beautiful, beautiful thing. Unfortunately, my phone died, along with my ability to take pictures, so you'll just have to trust me on that one.

Book Giveaway

Check out Natalie C. Parker's awesome book giveaway including copies of The Blood Keeper and Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton, The Curiosities by the Merry Sisters of Fate, and fabu swag!

Aren't they pretty?

Indiana 2012

I spent the week of July 4th visiting family, going to parks, and just having fun. First, there was the playground of awesomeness.

This is a K-2 playground that is open to the public. It has two zip lines, seven slides, a treadmill, and a barrell roll, and that's only about half of the awesomeness.

Then there was the Indianapolis Zoo.

And King's Island, the very same place where Jan lost Dad's plans on The Brady Bunch.

Do you think you have pantophobia?

This is how I like to start my manuscripts.

But mostly we did a lot of this.

And this.

Until it was time for this.
