My Totally Awesome WorldCon / Chicon 7 Schedule

If you’re going to be at Worldcon 2012/ Chicon 7 in Chicago, I hope you’ll drop by, bask in my radiance and wisdom (or at least the delicious scent of my new shampoo), and share a few laughs with me.

    Hey Ryan,

    Going through the edits on your Chicon panel “Creating Vivid Characters” to be posted on Adventures in SciFi Publishing. I’ll let you know when it’s up. Any upcoming releases that you’d like this posted around?

  2. Other than my name being Randy, no ;). Thank you for checking.
