Looking for November and December venues for book vending.

Here’s my tentative schedule:

  • August 14-17: Once Upon a Con (National Harbor, MD)
  • September 13-14: FrightReads (Howard County Fairgrounds, MD)
  • October 4: RisuCon (Montgomery County Fairgrounds, MD)
  • October 31-November 1: Doxacon (tentative) (I fully expect to be going to that one, but my registration is still pending.)

As you can see, I still need a good venue for getting some Christmas sales in. If you happen to know any good areas in Maryland, let me know! Or, hey, just get people to buy my books on Amazon. That works, too.

Note that it’s going to be in first-draft form, and that you’ll be able to read it if you subscribe to the Patreon at the dollar/month level.

Live-action AKIRA not happening.

I dunno about disappointing: “According to a new report from THR, the Akira live-action movie at Warner Bros. Discovery is officially not happening. The movie studio has reportedly let go of the movie rights, reverting them back to Kodansha, the manga publisher that originally released Katsuhiro Otomo’s story in 1982.”

…Taika Waititi hardest hit, I guess. The guy’s passed the apex of his directorial arc, huh? I don’t say that with any meanness, mind you. I actually like his flicks. But I hope for his sake that he socked a lot of that sweet, sweet Disney money away.
