Really cool link...

Courtesy of madwriter, this link about we are not originally part of the Milky Way is not only fascinating (I've always loved astronomy; unfortunately, my math skills weren't up to my love), but is already starting to bubble in my brain. I"m sure I'll have another locked plotbunny very, very soon.

Readercon.

So, I'm looking over cons in my area, and I run across the website for Readercon. And now I defer to those professionals among my friends.

I'm a small press author. I didn't sign up to be a presenter, and I can only make it for Saturday. Is this worthwhile for me to go to?

Also, can anyone suggest any others that it might behoove me to go to? I'm going to be having the 2nd book of the Apocalypse Cycle out next year, so I'm looking at promoting. However, I'm working on a limited budget, both monetarily speaking and time speaking, so I'm not looking at travelling all over the US (although I would love to!).

Any suggestions? And yes, if there are online courses on promotions that you can recommend (free or otherwise), I'd be interested.

Thanks!

Way cool!

Too cool.
