Midsouth Con was great. I met quite a few other authors and some editors and publishers as well. It was very instructive. I sold and signed fourteen books in all. It's a paltry amount in the grand scheme of things, yet it is a beginning. At the current pace of sales, I should be on the best sellers' list in about two thousand years. I don't much care. I'm thrilled that fourteen people might be reading my stories now. I'd like to be a fan of some of the authors I met at the con. I would like to have bought about a dozen books while I was there, but I only had the funds to purchase a gift for Ana and a book for myself. I bought a first novel from the author in the booth beside me, Nick Valentino. His first novel is titled Thomas Riley. It's in the genre of Steam Punk, with which I was largely unfamiliar. I've been reading it, and it's entertaining for sure. I'll write a review later.
I'll likely be at Midsouthcon again next year.
More later,
