The Journal of Michael Merriam

Rather than bother with the re-formatting LJ seems to want, I'll just post a link.

Just what the title says. I will read from my works and sell some books.

This is my Q&A session.

Joseph Scrimshaw and I will be giving a small performance, discussing spoken word and storytelling performing, and taking questions from the audience.

Now that it is up on the website and all official and stuff, I am pleased as can be to announce that I have been invited to be Author Guest of Honor at CoreCon V.



CoreCon is a science fiction, fantasy, horror and anime convention in Fargo-Moorhead and it looks like a bundle of fun. Other Guest of Honor include Patricia Tallman, best known as Lyta Alexander from Babylon 5; the always charming and funny Joseph Scrimshaw; and SF/fantasy/comic book artist and illustrator Terence Brown II.

While I am cheerfully looking forward meeting as many people in Fargo-Moorhead fandom as possible, I'd love it if some familiar faces were there as well. Registration is currently a mere $35. They are still taking room requests, so you could totally drive up and stay at the hotel all weekend.

I am thrilled. And honored. And a little freaked out because this is my first Guest of Honor invitation and I have no idea what to expect. But mostly I'm thrilled.

I hope to see some of you at the convention. Come up and say hello. I'm pretty easy to spot, being a 6' 2" blind man wielding a 56" white cane.
