New experience — the author preparing for the con

If you are reading this as it posts — I am in Hunt Valley, Maryland, attending the Farpoint con.

This is a sci-fi and fantasy convention featuring various vendors, performers, celebrities, discussion panels, and authors participating on those panels. Also, authors reading, selling, and signing books.

Guess what I am doing there?

I will be sitting on a couple of different panels, doing a reading from at least one of my books, and signing and selling books.

Despite a somewhat similar experience at the Steampunk World’s Faire several years ago, this is a new experience for me.

I can hardly CONtain my excitement (please note my terrible pun, now used twice). But it is that giddy feeling that’s a mix of genuine excitement, anticipation, and fear.

Because there is a truth that might — for many who know me — seem a little hard to believe.

I’m really quite shy

For real — despite the Meyers-Briggs test assertions that I am an extrovert — I’m not.
