Another July, another InConJunction!!
This will be my… I don’t know…. several-eth year at InConJunction SF Convention as an author, and nearly thirty years since I attended the con (my first ever) on an early date with the future Mrs. RJ! For all these reasons, and more, the con holds a special place in my heart. If it’s not the biggest, or fanciest, it is the WARMEST con of the year, and I’m not talking about July weather. This convention is run by the sweetest bunch of awesome nerds in the galaxy, and I say that from the bottom of my heart. So without any further ado, let’s get to the details.
InConJunction is on the east side of Indianapolis at the Marriott off Shadeland Avenue Fri, July 5-Sun July 7. Here is the website with all the details.
I will be sharing an author’s table with John F. Allen this year. Many of our Speculative Fiction Guild authors will be in attendance. I’ll be fully stock with my books, priced to move, and should you show your amazing taste to pick one up, I’ll happily sign something in it. Autographs are as always FREE and worth every penny you pay.
My books with prices:
Haunting Blue $15
Haunting Obsession $12
Virtual Blue $15
Darkness with a Chance of Whimsy (short story collection) $12
Commanding the Red Lotus $12
I also have special pricing on multiple book purchases or if you catch me in a good mood.
When I’m not at my table, I’ll most likely be at a panel. I’ve taken on a “full load” this year, in part because I like discussing science fiction in all its forms, but mostly because I really love hearing myself talk. Because I know you really care, here’s my panel schedule.
