In an attempt to get my books in front of an enthusiastic sci-fi audience, I\u2019ve signed up to sell at the LI-CON2<\/a> conference in Ronkonkoma, Long Island this August 14-16.\u00a0 I attended this conference the last time it was held, two years ago, and met many like-minded individuals.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately manning a dealer\u2019s table means that I won\u2019t be able to attend many of the other exciting events this time.
\nThe last time I signed my books was after a presentation I gave at a local library.\u00a0 Those in attendance got a lecture on self-publishing, which was just catching on at the time, and a good introduction to what my first novel, The Fifth Prophet<\/em>, was about.\u00a0 This time I will only have a minute or so to pitch one of the five novels in my Family of Man series.\u00a0 I\u2019m still practicing what I will say. \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 My protagonists are all human, and the Fifth Prophet wore flannel shirts and blue jeans, so I won\u2019t be able to attract much attention amidst the hordes of aliens and super heroes attending the conference.
\nIt should be an adventure, and I am looking forward to meeting some interesting people and of course, selling a few books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
