Obi got some repairs made.

11,000 on Vamp apocalypse.
finished spoiler chapbook
Quarterly bonus on my paycheck, so I ordered Four-play
and the side-show rubber ducks from Oriental Trading.

OutLanta is coming together.

Will need to get the trading cards made.


Convention going folks, if you went to a panel and an author offered you a collectible trading card and said "Attend other panels of mine or drop by my dealer booth for more" and the top card in the envelope had a list of prizes, would you be more or less willing to at least look into a second card?

The top card reads like this:

There are five different cards. Cards 1 and 2 have ultra-rare designs.
Collect in these combinations to win:

Cards 1+2: chapbook, original unpublished m/m story
Cards 1+2, 1 ultra rare: chapbook + spoiler chapbook for the third Nikolai book
Cards 1+2, both ultra rare: Both chapbooks and rubber duck
Cards 2-4: Giftbag (w/ ultrarare: +spoiler chapbook)
Cards 1-5: Gift bag with paperback
Cards 1-5, with ultra rares: Flashdrive with backlist and teaser

All participants get a free sticker and tarot reading.

For OutLanta, I'm going with some fanart of the characters in the Nikolai series. If I run it at RomantiCon, it will be solely Ellora's Cave covers. For Fandomfest and DucKon, I'm thinking general book covers and a small summary.

I'm using the Nikolai cover for the back of the card, and then on the front, the name, the artwork and a quote by or about the character.

The art is being done by a friend who is also a big fan and is going to OutLanta as my flunkie.
