JORDANCON 2020 CANCELLED!

Sadly, but not unexpectedly, JordanCon has announced that they are cancelling the 2020 JordanCon convention due to the coronavirus restrictions and will be back in 2021. I hope to return to this amazing con in 2021 as well.

CHANGES TO THE 2020 SCRIBE AWARDS...

The International Association of Media Tie-In Writers president, Jonathan Maberry announced that The Scribe Awards will not be presented at San Diego Comic Con as in previous years due to Covid-19 Coronavirus concerns. The Scribe Awards will be announced via Facebook Live instead. The date will be revealed soon. I have two books that were eligible so I am understandably curious to see if they made the nomination list. I will share more information on The Scribe Awards as I get them. Read Jonathan's statement below.

And now a word about Coronavirus and the Scribes…

For years now we’ve been presenting the IAMTW’s annual Scribe Awards at the wonderful San Diego Comic Con. Because of the growing danger of contagion from Covid-19, we will not have a presence at SDCC. Our Scribe Award nominees and winners will be announced via a real-time video event on our Facebook Group.

We will announce the nominees as well as the winner of the Faust Award in a few weeks.

The date of the awards will be announced at the same time.

Stay tuned for updates as they become available.

PULP FACTORY AWARDS UPDATE!

The Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention has been postponed from April until September due to Coronavirus limitations. This is the con where The Pulp Factory Awards are handed out. Instead of delaying announcement of the winners until September, The Pulp Factory's Ron Fortier released the following statement today.

PULP FACTORY AWARDS 2020
In lieu of the Windy City Pulp and Paper postponement until Sept., this year’s Pulp Factory Awards Winner will be announced via a special video and Press Release. Once the actual awards have been made and addresses for the winners obtained, regular hosts Ron Fortier and Rob Davis will do a short video announcing the winners of each of the five categories. At that same time, the actual awards will then be mailed out to each recipient. Again our thanks to Van Plexico and Gordon Dymowski for a great job handling the voting. As soon as the video is up at You Tube, we will circulate the link and Press Release everywhere on line.

I will post more details as soon as I have them.

NIGHTVEIL: CRISIS AT THE CROSSROADS OF INFINITY NABS NEW 5 STAR READER REVIEW!

WE LOVE READER REVIEWS! A huge thank you to Tony Lorenz for his kind words and 5 STAR review of my novel, Nightveil: Crisis at the Crossroads of Infinity. Thanks again, Tony! I'm glad you liked it. I had a great time playing in Nightveil's world. Hopefully, I'll be able to do it again.

"I just read the book, Nightveil: Crisis at the Crossroads of Infinity. I LOVED IT!!!! FIVE STARS!!!!! The book started out a little slow at first, mainly because I knew of the character but really didn't know anything about the character. It took a couple of chapters for me to get into the swing of things. The epic story flowed seamlessly. What amazed me the most is how well you making each character so unique to themselves, even though they were the same character from different Earths. I never once got confused which character was which, well done. Once the action started to pick up your ode to Crisis On Infinite Earths came into full effect. You characters were so well written, they felt real. The story was very complete start-middle-conclusion, but leaving me wanting more. Great job Bob, if you wrote another Nightveil book I would buy it for sure. Oh yeah the packaging is very nice and a beautiful cover art by Nightveil's creator Bill Black."

Available in paperback and ebook. You can read this novel for FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

CONVENTION UPDATE: ASFE POSTPONED AND MORE NEWS...

Due to the current health advisory concerning the COVID-19 virus, this weekend's Atlanta Sc-Fi and Fantasy Expo event at North DeKalb Mall has been postponed. I do not know the new dates at this time. As soon as I hear this information, I will share it here.

If an event you were planning to visit has been cancelled, reach out to those creators or vendors you were hoping to meet and/or purchase items from and see if they are offering them through their website. This will help all of the creators and vendors who are losing out on money they were expecting to make at an event. In most cases, they already spent money in preparation for the event. Buying original art, prints, books, etc. from their site is a great way to keep the spirit of conventions and events alive even if you're doing them remotely.

In my case, I sell autographed books at https://bobbynash.square.site and I take commission requests for art through the site and also payments through Paypal. Want a book not listed? Reach out and ask. If I have copies on hand, I can sell autographed copies no problem. Plus, all sales from me directly gets free envelope art. Whatta deal, right? Hit me up through social media or at www.bobbynash.com www.ben-books.com and/or www.abrahamsnow.com

At this time, I have not heard of cancellations of my other March events, The Southern Pen Writers Conference on March 21st or Coosa Con on March 28th. If that changes, I will post it as well.

Stay safe out there.

Bobby

Here's the announcement from The Atlanta Sc-Fi and Fantasy Expo:

Our Greatest Concern Is the Safety of Our Community

At its core the Atlanta Science Fiction and Fantasy Expo is a labor of love by fans for fans. As the Expo grows, we have been able to keep the event admission free through the generous support of our volunteer staff, event partners, and vendors. We all love the community we have built together and are committed to the safety and well being of everyone involved. In the last twenty-four hours, there has been increased focus on the role public gatherings could play in transmission of the COVID-19 virus. Many of you reached out to express your concerns and inquire about our plans for this weekend. Although we have established revised sanitation and engagement protocols for the Expo, we decided to seek direct consultation from professionals familiar with the virus and its spread in the Metro Atlanta area. We have been advised social distancing is an increasingly necessary and key component to reducing further transmission. Based on these discussions and an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s event.

We ask that our guests, panelists and friends of the show remain patient as we continue to monitor the situation and determine alternate dates. Our combined efforts have created an amazing experience for this year’s Expo (seriously, did you see the lineup?!!!) and we are absolutely committed to hosting a 2020 event.

Please continue to visit www.atltantascifiexpo.com and follow us on social media for updated information.

I don't know who needs to hear this...

I posted this in response to a creator's post today, but I think there may be others out there who need to hear it.

"Having people actively looking to see you fail means you're probably moving forward and leaving them behind."

I have seen a couple of instances this week where people were actively discouraging people from pursuing their creative endeavors. That just irritates me.

Stay creative, my friends.

SNOW FALLS ON A NEW 5 STAR AMAZON READER REVIEW!

We love reader reviews! Big THANKS to reader Mary Elizabeth for her kind words and 5-STAR Amazon review of Snow Falls.

"Great action thriller! The story opens with our main character, Abraham Snow, deep undercover. His cover is blown and he is left for dead. After a lengthy recovery he heads to his grandfather’s home to rest and decide what to do with his life. Instead of a little rest he becomes involved in a dangerous situation thanks to his family business. Relying on instinct and training he proves to himself and others that he still has what it takes to get the bad guys."
