Worldcon Signing and New Cover Art

Hi All,

Still have a bunch of Cosplay Contest entries to post (just a few hours left to enter!), but I wanted to give a quick Worldcon update.

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I will be attending the 2011 World Science Fiction Convention in Reno, Nevada (AKA Worldcon or Renovation), Aug-17-21, 2011. Because of my shoulder surgery in June, I was not able to commit to the con until after the author panel track was confirmed, so I was not assigned to any official panels.

I was, however, invited to crash an epic fantasy panel by moderator Brandon Sanderson, and I will try and do that and pull other strings as available. I’ll also be attending most of the panels my friends and fellow fantasy authors are on, like Brent Weeks, Gail Carriger, Brandon Sanderson, Mur Lafferty, George RR Martin, Pat Rothfuss, etc.

In the meantime, the convention did assign me a autograph session, so if you’re planning to attend and would like to meet up without having to stalk me at the bar, you can find me here:

Friday, August 19, 5PM-6PM, Hall 2, Reno-Sparks Convention Center (RSCC)

In other news, The Desert Spear has now been translated into Estonian under the title Kõrbeoda (which Google is unable to translate). Publisher Varrack has given it a pretty awesome cover. Check it out and let me know what you think. I’m not positive if the figure is supposed to be Arlen or Jardir, since the wards on his skin look more like scars than tattoos, but frankly, it’s an awesome cover either way. The spear looks kickass as well:
