I just returned from Con*Stellation 2008!  Anyone who likes great fun and great people should put Con*Stellation on their calendar.
 

I just came back from Huntsville after a weekend of tremendous hospitality from the organizers of Huntsville's Con*Stellation.  This con was extra special--my wife Susan accompanied me!

Susan and I arrived in Huntsville around 5:00, a couple hours after the dealers' room had opened.  We got the Double-Edged Publishing booth set up in a few minutes and--seriously--we started selling books, tee-shirts, and candy right away.  Sales throughout the weekend were steady and sufficient to make this DEP's best outing to date.

My panel appearances were great, too.  Although I often felt the most unqualified among those on the panels, I gave it a go.  I was invited to take part in a reading that I wasn't scheduled to be in, which was a kindness I really appreciated.  It was a great honor to be included among the guest, one I'll savor.

In the down times, Susan and I were lucky enough to spend a good amount of time with the gang from Kerlak Publishing.  Talking shop and dreaming big!  Who could as for more.

I also passed a couple of great moments with Tyree Campbell of SamsDotPublishing.  How great it is to have people of experience willingly share what they know!

I already agreed to return next year.  This is a complication, because it is the same weekend as next year's FenCon.  However, I have a plan that will put me in Huntsville, but allow DEP to be in both places.

Fantasy and science fiction fans anywhere reasonably close to Huntsville, Alabama, hear this:  Put Con*Stellation on your calendar for 2009!
