BUSY DAY!

Today was a busy day.

I did some writing on my Fight Card novel, Barefoot Bones, some promoting, and some other writing-related work. Plus, The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil was released for Kindle today and an interview with me was posted on-line to boot.

Whew. You can see links to all of that in the posts below if you'd like to check it out.

More work on Friday before heading off to Con Carolinas on Saturday and the Marietta Comic Con on Sunday. Looks to be a busy weekend too. However, it’s going on 3 a.m. so I think it’s time to call it a night.

Until tomorrow…

DARK OAK UNLEASHES THE BIG BAD!

Dark Oak Press’s The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil is now available on Amazon for your Kindle. Created and edited by authors John G Hartness and Emily Lavin Leverett, The Big Bad Anthology features stories from a host of authors (will post a full list as soon as it becomes available).

About The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil:
Everybody loves bad guys, and these are some of the baddest of them all. Forget the rules. There aren't any heroes. No one is going to save you from the wickedness in the darkness. Monster hunters can easily become the hunted. Twisted perverts can find themselves on the receiving end of their own deviant desires. No matter how big and bad someone or something may be, there is always something bigger and badder just waiting. Even the classics like a dragon, werewolf, or supernatural being can fall victim to something even more evil. Take a peek, if you dare, inside the malevolent world of super-villains, monsters, demons and just plain evil folk. Be careful, what you see there might be disturbingly familiar...

My story in this volume is called “Lowlife.”

When Jack Sebastian walked out of prison there was nothing waiting for him but a long stretch of empty road and a long walk in triple digit temps under a blazing sun. When the old man offered him a ride he dared not refuse. That decision was the start of the longest ride of Jack Sebastian’s life.

The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil is now available on Amazon for your Kindle. Get your copy here for only $2.99.

The official launch of The Big Bad: An Anthology of Evil will be this weekend at Con Carolinas in Charlotte, NC. Several of the authors will be on hand for the weekend. I will be there on Saturday to share in the festivities.

CHARLOTTE GEEKS: AUTHOR BOBBY NASH ANSWERS 5 QUESTIONS

Charlotte Geeks’ Joey Paquette asked me 5 questions and I tried to answer them seriously, I really did. Check out my answers here.

HERE A CON, THERE A CON... BOBBY GOES ON THE ROAD AGAIN!

Bobby and his book!

The past four weeks have been a whirlwind of activity -not to mention a lot of miles on the ol’ Con-Wagon- as convention season has kicked into high gear. My last convention wrap up was from the new Alabama Phoenix Festival in Birmingham, Alabama. You can read all about that one here.

Although I had originally planned to stay home the next weekend and write, I was invited to ride up to Con Carolinas in Charlotte, NC and hang out with Starship Farragut’s Michael Bednar, Michael Day, and Frank Parker. I drove up to Charlotte on Saturday, June 2nd and spent a fun day chatting with friends, fans, and many of the guests at the con. It’s always fun chatting with John Hartness, James R. Tuck, Tally Johnson, Jer Alford, and more. It was a fun day and I had a great time. Only took a few photos and sadly didn’t get one with the Farragut guys. Darn it.

A cool Star Trek crew. They were great fun. Photo at the Farragut booth.

On June 9th I took another ride, this time toward Rome, Georgia, along with my pals, writers Sean Taylor and Michael Gordon, for a book signing at Gordon Lee’s Legends of Rome comic shop. Legends has recently moved into a new location inside the Mt. Berry Mall and I was excited to visit the new location. I loved the wide-open space int he store. It was very warm and welcoming. There was a small crowd and I sold a few books, met some new folks, and had a great time. We even ended up staying a good hour and a half longer than our scheduled signing time. Thanks again to Gordon Lee for inviting us out to be a part of the fun.

After the signing, Mike Gordon and I headed over toward Knoxville, Tennessee for the Knoxville Comic and Anime Con. The con ran June 9 - 10, but we arrived after the show closed for the day on Saturday. After meeting up with our Earth Station One co-hosts, Mike and Judy Faber, we had a fantastic meal at a local Knoxville eatery then traveled to McKay Books, an amazing used bookstore in the area. I stocked up on some reading material and only spent a few bucks. I’ll definitely have to get back out there again.

On Sunday, June 10th, Mike and I sat up our individual tables at the Knoxville Comic and Anime Con and also manned the ESO table after Mike and Judy returned to the Atlanta area. The convention had quite a large attendance on Sunday, and although it was a bit smaller than Saturday’s crowd, there were a lot of folks in costume as well as folks just there to take it all in. I sold a few books and had some fun conversations with the other guests like Don Hillsman, Joe Linsner, Rodney Hall and other zombies from The Walking Dead. It was a great day. Thanks again to Marc Ballard and Wes Tillander for inviting us out to be a part of the show.

Capped off the day with dinner with friends, Charles and Beverly Conner and Mike Gordon before hitting the road back to Atlanta. Lots of laughs were had.
