Posted April 13, 2011 at 2:17 pm in Travel, Writing | Leave a comment
SXSW has released the audio from my panel, “Why New Authors Should Think Like Indie Bands“. I’m so grateful that Amelia Gray, Alan J. Porter, and Timothy Willis Sanders took the time to sit in front of microphones for an hour with me to talk about writing and publishing.
Here’s a direct link to the MP3 in case you’d like to take the session with you and listen to it at full blast in your car with the windows down.

A gentleman by the name of William Hertling from Portland, Oregon took detailed notes and posted them on his blog. Seriously impressive! Thank you, sir, and I hope you enjoyed the panel as much as I did.

Posted March 17, 2011 at 2:15 pm in Travel | Leave a commentI could not be more proud of my NASA tweetup friends Phylise, Sophia, Andy, and Stephanie. They had a wonderful panel discussion about the NASA tweetup, social media, and the future of space travel. These are some of my absolute favorite things and people all wrapped up in an epic SXSW package.

Follow along as I write stories and finish my Creative Writing and Publishing Arts MFA at the University of Baltimore!
December 2011
It's the end of the semester time for me to dig into my manuscript and whip it into shape. Over the next five months, I'll revise, edit, design, and publish my (yet unnamed) collection of short stories in May!
