poplitiko: Going to the Quantum Con

My Next Convention

QUANTUM CON 2025

I am a guest at a convention that is entering its third year, and have hopes to sell many of my new works. As any media guest likely has similar hopes, my hope is, also, that many people attend, support the con, visit my table and chat my books, and buy them. Note as well, please the image shown, and check out my archive of work on my Poetry blog.

I did works that focused on short prose stories with friends who can write well, perhaps better me. I respect them all as humans, friends and writers, so it isn't about whoever I can wrangle, much more than that. It is joy to gather and create, even if it is hard, and I make only a little after all the costs are tallied. The genres of books are science fiction, AI, Sasquatch encounters, Cthulhu horror, and two full size books, one of Viking era poetry, SIGR and the other, Tales of Lost Kingdoms with Peter Urkowitz, focused upon the lost worlds and those great stories from myth and legends, such as Atlantis and Mu. This work collects both poems and images of the those lands, in both public domain images of that subject but also, those created or gathered by me from public domain free sources.

I think there is potential in this convention, it is held at a incredibly comfortable and lovely setting, with people who have interest in pop media, paranormal, gaming, and literature. I hope it does well, as it is a rare place that digs arts, poetry, and fantasy, pop culture media as much as my diverse tastes also share.
