Convention!

[seawasp]

I will be at Genericon in Troy, NY (RPI college) this weekend (Friday and Saturday; sunday, maybe or maybe not). Who knows, I may be on a panel, as well as offering to sign my book to anyone I can rope into buying one. If things look boring, I may run a game, too.

Pete Abrams of Sluggy Freelance (www.sluggy.com), Ian of RPGWorld (www.rpgworldcomics.com), and the terrifying author of Something Positive (www.somethingpositive.net) will be there too.

Re: publishing

[seawasp]

Baen's Free Library has demonstrated that fears of electronic books stealing sales are just that, fears with no foundation. In fact, so far it appears that the effect is to INCREASE sales of the book.

I doubt, personally, that this will hold once electronic book readers reach the point that they actually equal or surpass real books in reading quality experience. That won't happen for another several years yet, though. Hopefully the book publishers will have learned from the music/video industry and won't end up doing the idiotic "bail back the ocean with a fork" maneuvers that the RIAA and MPAA are trying now.
