When I attended #BayCon2023 someone gave me a little package as a Random Act of Crochet Kindness. ❤️ https://boingboing.net/2023/05/10/group-spreads-random-acts-of-crochet-kindness.html

I attached the little crocheted heart to my computer bag and have enjoyed it ever since. But someone else has been enjoying it more recently and is getting so much pleasure from it that I will joyfully accept its ultimate demise when it happens. #DogsOfMastodon

I was interviewed by @briancebuhl for the Small Publishing in a Big Universe podcast for their "Live at BayCon" feature. It turns out that if you put a mic in front of me, I can babble inanely for as long as you let me! https://spbu-podcast.com/podcast/live-from-baycon-2023-part-2/ #BayCon2023

I wrote a post about making a 'zine to hand out at #BayCon2023 https://stevendbrewer.com/islands-of-revins-heart-zine/

The post includes the PDF file and directions so you can print out the 'zine yourself, if you like.

#ZineLibraries are welcome to print and include the 'zine in their collections.

Islands of Revin’s Heart ‘Zine - Steven D. BREWER

As I was writing Revin's Heart, I had created a map (in Inkscape) to show the relative positions of the islands where the stories are set -- mainly for my own use, to keep track of directions and orientations. But I rather liked the map and wondered how I might share it with readers. On

Nice! I gave away a 'zine at #BayCon2023! https://wandering.shop/@stevendbrewer/110578491054627376

A friend shot a video of me folding them out that turned out really well and should be up on youtube soon. I should post the PDF so people can print mine out too.

BayCon 2023 - Steven D. BREWER

BayCon was a thing! My younger son Daniel and I drove about 5000 through 14 states over 14 days to get there. It was an amazing road trip. And, at the end, we spend four glorious days at the Santa Clara Marriot enjoying BayCon. As I've written, I'm rather introverted and I find attending conventions

Selling Revin’s Heart - Steven D. BREWER

At BayCon, I spent a fair amount of time in the Dealer Room selling copies of Revin's Heart. And sales were brisk. I sold all of the bundles of printed copies I had and could probably have sold twice as many. I am not certain, but it may have been the most popular item at
