Yesterday I mentioned two possible cons I could visit this year. Last night I found out that my friend in Cincinnati will be out of town the weekend of Utopia Con, meaning I really would be alone if I went, so I canceled those plans. Today, I realized I can't afford the Akron con in June, even with my sister agreeing to drive and my editor Danielle agreeing to let us stay at her home. If I start saving after all my bills are paid (after the Akron con), I might be able to swing going to Dragon Con on August 31st... but I would be as a spectator only. Danielle said last night that next year, the Firefly & Wisp group will be headed to Dragon Con as guests. That's awesome since it's in Atlanta, which is only a 3-hour drive away. So sadly, I won't be going to any cons as an author that I know of this year, which kinda sucks, but there's always next year. Also, I can do some promoting at our indie bookseller downtown. I'm going over there with a bag of trades tomorrow, so I'll bring it up then.

I am hoping to go to Xcon in Myrtle Beach weekend of May 19th. I was hoping to have my book done by then and maybe rent a table. I know, Xcon is supposed to be a big comic book convention primarily, but it seems this year they are really branching out. There is some big secret author who will be presenting! Still gonna try and go even though I won't really have merc for the occasion, just cause I'm a total geek and love all cons!

After checking their website, I'd very much like to go to Xcon, but there's no way I'd be able to afford a hotel room for 3 or 4 nights, which I'd need, as my sister wants to go and she wouldn't want to go to the beach JUST for a con. She loves the beach. hehe If it were in June and I had time to save the money, it would work... but alas, as is, it does not. =(
