Today the conference fun begins. I checked into the hotel yesterday afternoon and played hermit while I caught up on e-mail, and did other online chores. I’ll be pretty busy from 11:00 AM today until about 1:00 PM on Sunday.

Be sure to stop by The Blood-Red Pencil today for more tips on self-editing your manuscript.

In addition to tonight’s booksigning event at the conference, I now have appearances or signings scheduled at:

Writers Block at Poudre River Public Library District in Fort Collins — Saturday, September 26th 12:00-3:00PM

Brief signing session after Bouchercon Panel in Indianapolis — Saturday, October 17th

Barnes & Noble Centerra in Loveland, CO — Saturday, October 24th tentative time 3:00PM-5:00PM mystery event with other authors

Old Firehouse Bookshop in Fort Collins, CO — Saturday, November 7th 12:00-2:00PM with mystery author Cricket McRae

Holiday Market at the Senior Center in Fort Collins, CO — Friday and Saturday, November 27-28 10:00AM-5:00PM Author’s Nook with various authors.

I still haven’t scheduled an official launch party…can’t decide what, where, and when. And I’m still debating the blogbooktour project. The thought of churning out an extra 7-10 blog posts when I could be working on my current novel project makes me feel anxious. But that’s a decision for another day. Now it’s conference time. Gotta get out there and do my assigned chores, meet lots of new people, connect up with old friends, and have a ball.
