Glad to see you as always. Have some great ideas for next year

Capclave 2026 is winding down and Rosie is taking a well earned nap. Do not wake up napping dodos, they get very cranky Capclave will return September 24-26, 2027 to the Rockville Hilton in Rockville, MD with Alix E Harrow...

Glad you had a great time, be careful lifting your bag

Again, I am so honored to have been chosen as the winner and I’m sorry I can’t join in the celebrations. Party hard for me, everyone!

Shout-out to Agatha, Naomi and Smriti for telling me, and for giving “Guardians of the Well” a home! My only regret is that I was unable to attend Capclave in person. My warmest congratulations to everyone who was able to attend, and I hope it was a wonderful event.

I am honored and delighted to have won the WSFA Small Press Award. I am also amazed to have won a contest with such talented and brilliant authors. I still remember my surprise when the editors of In Another Time Magazine informed me that my story was a finalist.

Good morning, Capclave. Still some great panels and last chance to buy your membership for next year and find some treasures in the dealer's room

Overheard at Capclave on a Sunday morning "I'm impressed by your ability to double fist mountain dew"
