I post online constantly, but I keep doing it on FaceBook, which is dumb since I pay for the existence of jamesvanpelt.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheesh! Here’s what’s been going on lately: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I attended World Fantasy in New Orleans in early November. World Fantasy is my favorite major convention. Huge number of pros to talk to, and New Orleans is a great place to visit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I attended MileHiCon in Denver in October. This is my local convention. I have so many friends that I only see there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I’ve sold 8 stories this year, including ones to Asimov’s<\/em> and Lightspeed<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The paperback edition of The Best of James Van Pelt<\/em> <\/a>has been released. It’s also available as a Kindle book.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The Western Colorado Writers’ Forum<\/a> interviewed me and broke the long talk into two separate episodes. I find it interesting to chat into a microphone. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It’s Christmas, almost! What better gift can you give them a book. If you are interested in mine, you can find them here,<\/a> complete with extra info and reviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Happy holidays, all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
