I know I have been MIA for the past few weeks. I've been preparing for Awesome Con. It was awesome. Golden Fleece Press had a booth there this year in the Artist Alley. We had a great spot. We were at the end so we managed to get a lot of traffic. We sold some books and gave out our business cards. I'm hoping people will submit. The conference was huge and wonderful. I didn't go last year, but I'm told it almost tripled in size. My legs were exhausted on the first day. I spoke to so many people that I'm going to need a week to recover. I did see Mark Pellegrino. He was at his booth and I was walking around talking to the vendors about Book Lover's Bazaar, and I saw him. I stopped and he looked at me. I smiled and waved with a stupid look on my face. He laughed and waved back. I ran back to my booth. I also went to the most amazing panel ever. It was a TMNT reunion with all the original voice actors from the show. Those guys were just so....so.....I can't even describe it. I managed to get a video of them singing the TMNT theme song. I also went to an Alice in Wonderland panel with Kate. There were people from the Lewis Carrol Society there talking about Alice through the years and the impact she had on pop culture. It was really interesting.
Golden Fleece Press is signed up for next year. I'm excited. Even though I'm exhausted, I had a blast. I think next year will be better. We will have more books on the table and now that we know what to expect we can plan accordingly. We know what works and what doesn't. For example, we need a small cooler for drinks and I need my own room. I don't share very well and I'm a real grump. So I will be paying for my own room. Even if my husband doesn't come along, I'm going to have my own room. I have to have a chance to decompress and I can't do that with people in the room. Husband knows to leave me alone and do his own thing when I tell him I need to introvert. Also, it takes a while to wake up. I wake up in stages and if I don't have a chance to do that before people start talking to me, I get very angry and bitchy.
Hopefully, by next Awesome Con, I'll have more than two books on the table. I'm aiming for three. Two Abby books and one of my own. I just need to get off my butt and actually finish the WIPs I have.
So that is about it from me. I have about a three-week reprieve and it is off to Capital Con.
