In just one week, I head to NYC for BookCon 2017. I've been working like crazy getting ready for the event. It's the largest one I've ever done, and wow, did it feel overwhelming 95% of the time I was plowing through prep work.

But, it's finally (almost) here.

I'm getting some last few things ready, but I have books, posters, keychains, t-shirts, and plush all ready to go. What kind of plush you ask? Arkin plushies, of course!

Arkins are a species that appear in my science fiction novels. I have the 5 bigger plush shown above, plus 30 beanies, so 35 in total (... in case you couldn't do the math yourself). They took a shitload of work, but they are done and ready to be purchased at the event.

So, if you're a fan of reading and/or conventions, check out BookCon in NYC next weekend. Tickets are on sale now. If you're attending, stop by Booth #2677 and come say hi / snag a book / adopt an arkin / give me a high five.
