It felt like it would take forever to get here, and then BAM! Can-Con is here! This weekend!!! And I’m so excited to be going again!
How excited am I? I’ve roped half my family into not just going with me, but participating, too. My youngest daughter will be streaming the event live on TwitchTV — if you’re too far away to attend, you can check out some of the panels and catch interviews with authors on her stream. Wave if you see me! 😉
Hubby is also coming along this year to do a workshop on Sunday about getting the police details right in fiction. For those of you who don’t know, he’s a 33-year veteran of Canada’s national police force, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and regularly acts as story consultant for me with regard to the police procedural part of my books. (So you can thank him for Alex carrying a pistol rather than a revolver, and other such small but important details. 😉 )
And I’ll be there, too, of course, so if you’re planning to attend, this is where you can find me over the course of the weekend:
