THE WRAP UP-- NEXT CHAPTER CON!


I was a guest at the first annual Next Chapter - a Books and Author Convention on Saturday, September 7, 2019 in Ringgold, GA. The event ran from 10a.m. - 4p.m. and featured authors of all stripes, an impressive kid's corner, and fun panels. You can find official photos from the event HERE.

I was on these three panels and had fun on each. The panelists were a lot of fun to chat with and the topics were interesting. :
11:00 - You've got the write Stuff, baby! How marvelous stories take form.
1:00 - A Peek Into Publishing
3:00 - Don't Kill My Favorite Character

A big thank you to Kenyon Henry, our host for the event. Kenyon and his team put on a great event and took good care of the guests, including feeding us, which is always a good way to an author's heart.

It was also great seeing friends like Dan Jolley, James Palmer, Ellie Raine, Seth Tucker, Stephanie Osborn, and more. The event supported local libraries and I am thrilled to say that a couple of my books will now be in Ringgold's library and available for checkout.

On a personal level, my Dad joined me for the day to help watch the table while I did panels. This is the first convention my dad has attended and I think he enjoyed himself. At first, I was afraid he would be bored as this is not really his kind of event, but R.O. is a charming, guy and, in typical fashion, found plenty of people to talk to at the event. I think he enjoyed it. We also had a nice ride up and back, which was fun.

I understand that there will be a Next Chapter Con in 2020. I would definitely love to return for that.

THE WRAP UP-- HOMETOWN NOVEL NIGHTS!


I had an amazing time at tonight's Hometown Novel Nights at Roger's BBQ in Hogansville, GA. Good food, good conversation, and a fun time talking writing and meeting new people. T. M. Brown and Angie Gallion Lovell put on a great event. It was nice meeting authors Larissa Reinhart and David Coppage as well. You should check out their books.

Sadly, my efforts to live-stream the event did not go so well, but here are some photos from the evening.

THE WRAP UP - TIGERCON!


I attended the first, of what I hope are many more to come, TIGERCON, an all-ages event held at Tucker High School in Tucker, GA on Friday, May 3rd from 1:30 - 5:30. During school hours, (1:30 - 3:30), the event was or students only and I answered a lot of questions about writing, publishing, and various questions about creativity and the creative process. It was an absolute amazing day.

Things slowed down for the after school part and the panels did not happen because of the low attendance, but I think the students had a ball. I know I did. It was amazing.

A big thank you to Adam Minott, Roberta Barber, and the Tucker high school librarians and teachers  for hosting the event and for inviting me to be part of it.

INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY!


Even though I was out of town for a funeral, I found an independent bookstore to visit for Independent Bookstore Day. I picked up a couple of cool items; a copy of Planet of the Apes, which I've never read, and a copy of Armor for a friend of mine who collects as many different versions of this title as he can get his hands on. 

I also saw books by my friend, Ellie Raine on display as well. That's always cool. None of mine though. They were probably sold out. Yeah. That's the story I'm going to stick with, if it's all the same to you.

Thanks, Walls of Books in Ellijay, GA.

MEET ME THIS WEEKEND AT CONCAROLINAS!


Join me this weekend at ConCarolinas (June 1 - 3) in Charlotte, NC. I will be set up at Table #2 in Author Alley and will also be doing panels. Stop by and say hello.

My panel schedule:

FRIDAY, JUNE 1
9:00 pm - Superheroes in the Modern Day
Superheroes have been popular for decades, but society changes and our heroes need to, as well. What do we want from our superheroes now, that might be different from decades ago? How can superhero writers create characters that reflect the diversity of the population?

SATURDAY, JUNE 2
11:00 am - Live Action Collaboration
Come watch our writing teams collaborate on a character and topic the audience throws at them.

2:00 pm - The Novella Strikes Back!
The novella fell out of fashion several years back, but is now making a comeback in this time of e-readers and digital publication. Let's explore the benefits and costs off novella writing, and why it is an option novelists should consider.

3:00 pm - Being Prolific or Is Rapid Release Bulls&%t?
How fast do you NEED to release books to make a living? Once upon a time it took years for books to be released, but these days, readers are demanding we write as fast as they can consume. Our panel talks about whether or not you need to release a book every fifteen minutes to make money.

4:30 pm - Author Reading with Bobby Nash

9:00 pm - Off With Her Head!
There’s no way around it – sometimes a character has to die. Should you use poison, a blade, fire? What’s the surest method? How long will it take for him to die? Let’s talk about the nitty-gritty of killing off characters.

I hope to see you there.

THE WRAP UP-- SATURDAY'S ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY LIBRARY'S INDIE AUTHOR DAY AND SUNDAY'S ATLANTA COMIC CONVENTION! BUSY WEEKEND!


This was a busy weekend for this road weary author, but I had an absolutely amazing at two wonderful events, one of Saturday, March 17th and one on Sunday, March 18th. I'm thankful I was able to make it out to these events. On the Friday before the events, I threw out my back and hip, which caused a fun sciatica flareup that kept me pretty well immobilized that day and unable to walk easily. Thankfully, I was feeling better on Saturday so I was able to attend. I was moving slow, but I was moving.

Saturday's event was the Athens-Clarke County Library's Indie Author Day in Athens, GA. The event ran from noon until 5 p.m. I arrived around 11 a.m. to set up and look around the library as it was my first time visiting this particular branch. Panels ran from 12 - 2 with book selling and meeting the authors from 2 - 5. I met several authors and reconnected with some friends I haven't seen in a while. It turned out to be a great networking weekend as well with some future opportunities coming out of it. Never a bad thing when that happens.

A Big Thank You to Ashley Shull for being a gracious host and panel moderator. I had a great time and hope to be back next year.

Schedule:
My best Carnac impression
12-1 PM My Self-Publishing Journey: a panel discussion with self-published authors (I was on this panel and it was a lot of fun. I'd like to thank my co-panelists Mokah Johnson, Katherine Cerulean, and Eric whose last name I can't recall, sorry, for such a great conversation.)
1-2 PM How to Market your Self or Indie Published Book: a discussion with Bob Babcock of Deeds Publishing (I enjoyed talking marketing with Bob and Pam. I picked up a few ideas to try.)
2-4 PM Indie Author Marketplace: meet and mingle with indie and self-published authors as well as purchase their titles!
4-5 PM Reception/Clean-up

I capped off Saturday by having dinner with my friends, Jeff and Berni. It's always great hanging out with them. Berni and I are co-writing a novel together so it was fun to catch up on that as well. All in all, a fun day, but boy was I tired and sore when I got home.

On Sunday, I was a guest at the Atlanta Comic Convention Atlanta, GA. This is a 1 day comic book show that happens 4 times a year. I've been attending since the early days, which is like 26 years or so. WOW, that makes me feel old. ACC (for those of us too lazy to continually type out Atlanta Comic Convention) runs from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., although it starts slowing down around 4 p.m. for some reason.

ACC is a shopping show with a few guests and is always a fun time. I enjoy hanging out with local creators, finding great deals, and just relaxing and talking. It doesn't get much better than that. There is usually one main guest at the show and this time it was my friend, Drew Geraci. Drew is an artist who inked many of your favorite characters including Batman, the Birds of Prey, Guardians of the Galaxy, and more. He's also written a couple of novels featuring a rock band who runs afoul of the Russian mob called The Demands. A fun read.

My table at ACC.
It's always great seeing friends at the con. Way too many to mention here (and I fear I would inadvertently leave someone off the list by mistake), but it was great hanging out and talking with you all. Capped off the day hanging out with my buddy, Ben Eller and then dinner with Drew. It was a fun day talking comics. As with Saturday, I was tired and sore when I got home, but I had a great day. I even managed to ell a couple of books, which is always a nice bonus. Big Thanks, as always to Wes and Dave Tillander for taking such good care of me.

The next ACC is July 8th. I hope to see you there.

THE WRAP UP-- DCPL AUTHOR EVENT 2017!


I was honored to be a guest for the first in what I hope will become an annual event, the 2017 DCPL Author Expo. The Expo was held on Saturday, August 19th in Tucker, Georgia at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library. It was my first time visiting this particular library and I had a great time. I will definitely have to return for a visit.

The Author Expo featured a rather large selection of local talent with books ranging from spiritual to children's literature, fantasy to sci fi, mystery to religious, self help to crime fiction.

There were no panels, but each author was given a two minute window to introduce themselves and their work. I got a nice life when I opened my time with "Hi. My name is Bobby Nash and I kill people for a living... in books." I also had a moment to take a couple of questions from the audience before my time was up.

All in all, I had a fun time, sold a few books (Hollis P.I. was the biggest mover at this event), met some incredibly talented men and women, and showed off my books and passed out business cards with purchase links for those who might like to pick up a book later. I even set up a couple of author interviews and book reviews out of it. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

A big thank you to Teresa Totten and the staff at the Tucker-Reid H. Cofer Library, and the DeKalb County Public Library system for having me and for putting on such a fun event.

Let's do it again next year.
