The Worlds of Michael D'Ambrosio

Welcome back everyone. I hope to have a new release date soon for Queen of Pain, the Princess Pain sequel. We anticipated a January release but my publisher is working to make this novel as awesome as possible; so, I’ll let you know once we have a firm date. Coming up on February 17th is Farpoint Sci-fi convention in Timonium, Md., just outside Baltimore. I’ve been assigned several panels and I will have a table in the dealers room so come on down and see what’s happening. On April 7th, I’ll be participating in Amazicon in Wilmington, De. on Rt. 202 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Amazicon is a comicon style convention. I’ll have more on this convention as it gets closer.
Recently, I’ve been focused on marketing my screenplays. I’ve had great feedback but the market is tough right now with the Star Wars/Star Trek movies and DC Comics & Marvel steady stream of films. Every good story has its time though so I’m not deterred in my enthusiasm. Meanwhile, I’m still working my new novel, Space Truckers, adapted from my latest script by the same name.
In May, I’ll be part of Sci-Fi Saturday at Carlisle High School, hosted by Carlisle’s Kathy Schock. I’ll be speaking there as well as working a table in the gym to sell books. This event has been a lot of fun each year that we’ve attended. If you can attend, I highly recommend it.
Coming up in July is WesterCon and I’ve been invited again to join them in Tempe, Arizona. This is a well-run convention that offers a lot to the fans. It’s a west coast convention that alternates from northern cities to southern cities every year. The Phoenix area has always treated me well and I look forward to returning every chance I get. Join me again soon for more information on my projects and appearances.
