Just a reminder: It’s okay to leave comments!
The Shore Leave convention have listed a few new celebrity guests for next year's convention. They have announced Laurette Spang and Herbert Jefferson Jr. of Battlestar Galactica fame and also Marta Kristen of Lost in Space. I've attached the latest flyer with more info for those interested. Other than the author list, there isn't any info yet on writing panels. That won't be available for a while.
Still haven't decided on whether to attend the Farpoint convention yet. They have author and screenwriter David Gerrold listed as attending, but he has a GoFundMe for health problems (why does it seem so many writers have health problems?) so I'm wondering if he'll actually be there.
And I've posted a few things on Medium!Last updated: December 22, 2025

As far as I know, author Michael Wombat is still hanging in there, but there is no good news to be had. About a month ago, he posted this on Bluesky:
Some of you know this already, but I see no reason to keep it a secret. My oncologist told me on Friday that they had done all they can, the cancer is still growing, and that I have months, maybe weeks, left to live. I have no idea what's to come, but I'll be on here as long as I can.
You can cheer him up a little by putting in an order for his latest book (a collaboration with Miranda Kate, Lisa Shambrook, and Victoria Pearson ) titled Agents of Secrets and Lies (The Summer Realm Book 1).
With those four writers, it's bound to be good.
