Dax Deliverd #13 : Live from ReaderCon!

dax: delivered.

Hello amazing subscribers!

I am writing this from the lounge at ReaderCon! It’s been an amazing weekend and I wish it could go on forever. I’ve sat in on some awesome panels and fantastics readings and met tons of wonderful people! Exclaimation point!

Dax in a dress looking very tired standing next to a sign that says "Welcome to Readercon!" I look really tired here because I am really tired here, but definitely very excited, too!

One of the coolest things was seeing my book on the bookshelf at Larry Smith Booksellers!

An illustustrated front of a business card with a humanoid figure sitting under lights that say "ignored" or "denied" with text at the bottom that says "rejected by clarkesworld"

the back of a business card, black text on white background, that says "the bearer of this card has been officially rejected by Clarkeworld. Please be nice to them." and a link to clarkesworld.com

I also got a cool card from Neil Clarke that says “Be nice to this person, they were rejected by Clarkesworld.” Overall, amazing con and I am looking forward to attending next year!

I’ve managed to get a lot of writing done, mostly poems! So that’s coming along!

giveaway

I’ve got FOUR winners for you today! FOUR. A winner for A REAPER AT THE GATES, BRUJA BORN, and two winners for NO MAN OF WOMAN BORN. I’ll be emailing with the winners in the next few days to arrange for shipping of the books!

Congrats to Elizabeth C for winning A REAPER AT THE GATES, Meredith G for winning BRUJA BORN, Katie H for winning 1 copy of NO MAN OF WOMAN BORN, and Erica D for winning 1 copy of NO MAN OF WOMAN BORN.

For August there are two AMAZING books coming out and, once again, I could not choose just one! So August 15 I’ll be announcing winners for a copy of DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY by Adib Khorram and SEAFIRE by Natalie C. Parker!

Two young men on a roof overlooking a city, projected over them and the city is large text that says DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY

“Darius doesn’t think he’ll ever be enough, in America or in Iran. Hilarious and heartbreaking, this unforgettable debut introduces a brilliant new voice in contemporary YA.”

A cover with a starburst on the front with curly text spellig out "SEAFIRE" over top. At the top is text that says SISTERHOOD IS SURVIVAL

The first in a heart-stopping trilogy that recalls the undeniable feminine power of Wonder Woman and the powder-keg action of Mad Max: Fury Road, Seafire follows the captain of an all-female ship intent on taking down a vicious warlord’s powerful fleet. “

Both come out at the end of August, so I’ll be getting the books to the winners as soon as I can!

Cats are liquid, I swear. This is Didi taking up most of the bed the night before I left for ReaderCon!

Thank you so much for sharing this journey with me! Until next time!
