After what seems like forever attending as a fan, and at least a decade of being an Eternal Member, it’s finally official: I’m a “guest” of Dragon Con:<\/p>\n

Anthony Francis<\/a><\/p>\n

\n By day, Anthony Francis works on search engines and robots; by night, he writes science fiction and draws comic books. He’s the author of the Dakota Frost, Skindancer<\/i> series including Frost Moon<\/i>, Blood Rock<\/i>, and Liquid Fire<\/i>, and is the co-author of the 24 Hour Comic Day Survival Guide<\/i>.\n <\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Technically I’m an “Attending Professional” as I am at San Diego Comic Con, but at least now I will appear in the program, which will hopefully make it a bit easier to find out where I am supposed to be.<\/p>\n

Last year, I was about to head to dinner with a friend and recalled that there was an interesting sounding panel. “Hang on a bit,” I said over the phone, “let me see who’s on this panel.” I checked. I was listed as one of the panelists. I quickly excused myself from dinner and ran down to the Writing Track, about a minute or two before the panel started. “So,” I asked, “who’s moderating?” All eyes swiveled to me, and I quickly pulled out the program to figure out exactly what I was supposed to be moderating.<\/p>\n

It was a great panel. But I like a little warning, and hopefully being a bit more official this year will help.<\/p>\n

See you at Dragon Con Labor Day weekend, or if you’re in the Bay Area, at Clockwork Alchemy this Memorial Day weekend \u2026 if you bring me a copy of LIQUID FIRE, I’ll sign it for you. I might even sign other books too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
