Stoked for CONduit and a sneak peek

CONduit starts tomorrow in Salt Lake City, and I am so stoked!

This will be my third year in a row, and it looks like all the usuals are going to be there: Dan Wells, Howard Tayler, Dave Farland, L.E. Modesitt, Tracy and Laura Hickman–in other words, a whole bunch of awesome people.  It’s gonna be fun!

As usual, I’ll be recording all the panels I attend.  Shoot me an email if you want the mp3s.  I’ll also try to give a report on this blog, though it might be a bit sparse.

This year, I’m hoping mainly to get the ball rolling for the ebook release of my novel Genesis Earth. Local cons are great for networking with other writers, and hopefully I can get a few more people to sign up on the blog tour I’m trying to get started.

If you’re a blogger / blogging writer and you’d like to participate, here’s how it works: you give me either a topic for a blog post or a list of interview-type questions.  I’ll write it up post and send it to you, along with the cover image for Genesis Earth. In the post, you include the image and a link to amazon where people can find the novel.  When the post goes live, I’ll mention it here and put up a link so my readers can find it.

You get a free guest post, I get publicity for my book, and we both cross pollinate readers and build our blog audience.  Win-win-win all around.

So yeah, shoot me an email if you want to participate.  Genre-wise, Genesis Earth is a YA science fiction romance; basically, it’s a coming-of-age love story with starships, wormholes, and first contact.  If you think your blog readers would be into that kind of thing, I’d be more than happy to put you on the tour list!

Finally, I have some eye candy for you: my cover artist, Hideyoshi, just sent me the final proof and it looks pretty friggin sweet.  Check it out:

Aaahh!  I’m so stoked to get this book out!
