The Balticon Experience

Balticon is now over, but the experience was wonderful.  This was the first time presenting myself as a fantasy author. Mostly people recoginzed me as a YA mystery author, but soon after made the connection. 

Networking, making new friends and meeting such creative people was a blast.  I now have connections for authors looking for amazing editors, proofreaders and cover designers.  Feel free to inquire.
