Hypericon 4 is over, and I am back at the office.  I think I'll be bound to my mouse and keyboard for a while!
 

The 2008 Hypericon in Nashville is over.  It was three days of fun wrapped around events tied to areas of speculative interest--comics, books, movies, etc.  Fantasy and science fiction seemed to take backseat to the horror genre, so Double-Edged Publishings's Fear and Trembling Magazine was shared widely!

Our presence in the dealers' room resulted in a number of book sales and interesting discussions.  Our approach to publishing received the approval of quite a few fans.

I met a bunch of nice people.  A big hello to John Horner Jacobs!  (He and I traded business cards at least twice!)

I can't list everyone I met, but let me at least give a nod to a few folks whose cards made it into my collection.  Cynthia Cantrell is a romance and horror writer.  Shane Moore, a former football player, former police officer, had a dealer's table across from ours that he shared with Jon Klement, who writes about a fantastic place that includes his Smerdiverse.  M. M. Buckner dropped by and we chatted for a few minutes.  She is a writer/editor/consultant (Google her and find out!)

I really met a LOT of great people, and wish I could mention them all.  If I'd been on my game better, I'd have some contact info, at least.  My loss.

I would be terribly remiss if I didn't say a HUGE thanks to the Kerlak Clan, who let me hang out with them and bought me more than one dinner!  Also to Elizabeth Donaldson and Sara Harvey, whose table was beside my booth and who baby-sat my stuff when I had to leave the room.

It's going to be a busy week clearing up the quarterly bookkeeping and all that kind of stuff.  I have some WNS work to do, too.  So, to it!

See you all at the next con--Looks like I might be going to BabelCon in July...
