If you'll be in the Columbus, Ohio area on April 14 and want to talk nerdy about books, writing, or my latest trash ship (there are so many), I hope you'll stop by the Ohioana Book Festival to chat. I'll be selling and signing books, as well as participating on a panel with some truly excellent writers of fantasy and science fiction, including Laura Bickle, Linda Robertson, and Susie Newman.

I plan to throw money at other authors and bribe readers with candy and stickers, because I am an adult.

But really, it's a lovely and free event for book devourers of all ages. And if you don't want to eat words, there are food trucks.
