Catching up: Comic Con & stuff
I know NY Comic Con was about two months ago, but it’s been a VERY busy two months. So busy, in fact, that I haven’t even had time to post about my Australia trip which was way back in September! I promise to get to it soon, but in the meantime, here’s a quick run-down on the awesomeness of NYCC.
Friday, Oct. 8: I was on a panel with Jim Butcher, Joe Abercrombie, Naomi Novik, & Brandon Sanderson, as well as debut author Deborah Harkness. Thanks to all the fans and loved-ones who showed up, and made it into the standing room-only meeting room. Apologies to the dozens of folks the fire marshals turned away.

Afterward, I went drinking with a bunch of publishing folks, and showed Joe Abercrombie how to really wear a blazer. Needless to say, we got into a minor disagreement about which of us pulled it off better:
Saturday and Sunday were spent doing a host of interviews and roaming through the throng of nerds with friend and soon-to-be bestselling author Myke Cole:
And having fun with my own little nerdling:
I also did a couple of signings, accompanied by my favorite groupies, Dani & Cassie:
And here’s just a couple of adorable photos for fun:
Note Green Arrow’s arrow in the Black Canary’s tush. Now THAT’S how you get a woman!
Love Cassie’s t-shirt. She’s a smart one.
You were so warm and friendly at NYCC (my 1st btw). And that was a dream panel, but the room was small and one hour was ridiculously short.
I use warmth and friendliness to hide the fact that I am usually scared shitless at appearances like that. 🙂
Especially when I need to sit in front of a crowd and debate some of the real heavy hitters of the genre.
That panel would have been unreal if it had been two hours in a room twice the size. So many of my own favorite authors at the table.
