Event Report - ECSE


This past weekend I attended the Emerald City Steampunk Expo in Wichita (in my neck of the woods!).

There wasn't a huge turnout, but I did okay. I sold 8 books. For the Expo I created a brochure listing my ebooks, with prices, titles, and a few covers. I handed out about a couple dozen of the brochures. I don't know if that will result in any ebook sales, but the feedback was positive. I'm going start carrying them with me to events.

I saw several familiar faces, including someone I hadn't seen in over 20 years. Sadly I had to miss the two Doctor Who panels the local group put on. The first went on while the dealers room was open; the other started at 9 PM Saturday night, and I was too tired to stay. I was able to do a bit of networking at the con. I also was able to talk to a couple of the other authors there about ebooks and Amazon's Create Space Print-on-Demand service. I hope I was helpful.

Overall it was a good weekend for me.

The weekend after next is my last book event of the year. I'm pondering some post ideas until new works are published. See you soon!
