RE: Needleworkmonday- Monarch Scarf progress
I see we are connected now on Goodreads and have perused your books. So I will mention the following-
At MisCon next May 23-24-25, 2020 the guests of honor will be- Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Patty Briggs. I have met Jim Butcher and Patty Briggs before as they came to this convention in years past. Diana Pharoah Francis is a regular attendee as well and is expected to be there. Past guests you may be familiar with are Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, George RR Martin, Robin Hobb, and Steven Brust.
Yes, yes (jumping up and down) I found your book shelfs. I am already listing which I will start to read next 😁😁
And you are fortunate to live in the US, so that you have the possibility to meet all these authors ( I may be a bit envious) I am still a big fan of Rothfuss (although there seem to be a very negative mood on Goodreads against him - but I think a author is allowed to write as fast or slow as he wants). Steven Brust I do not know (or remember - I will check later) and Harris I only know through film. But the others authors are in my favourites.
Sometimes I feel a bit ashamed, that I read so much “easy” literature.... but I cannot stop, I am addicted 🤪
How was it to meet Butcher and Briggs... I guess there is always a slight risk that one do not like an artist as a person and that this could mirror back on their work/book...?
Butcher is very down to earth and genuinely nice, I liked him. He has a great sense of humor and seemed to enjoy hanging out with the other writers at the convention.
Briggs I only met in passing, she seems pretty nice as well. I was sad when her husband passed away, he was very nice to all the volunteers at the convention.
Oh noooo I didn’t knew her husband died. This is so sad.
I guess I am more a reader only :-D I never met an author of one of my favourite books.
Mike was a neat guy, he was a chemist and did a great panel at MisCon about casting Silver bullets one year. A totally smart and sweet guy. Her assistant Ann is really nice too, I talked to her about the art auction a little this year as she used to buy lots of art years ago and I am certain that she has more fantasy art than anyone else I know.
Remind me next May and I will try to get you something signed!
