As I mentioned in my last post, I am attending DragonCon for the first time this year! I’m so excited because I’ve heard raves about this event, and now, I get to experience it myself. And look at the amazing panels I’m on! I will try not to fangirl over the other authors, but I might not be able to restrain myself.
Before we get to the schedule, though, allow me some silliness. As I also said in a previous post, I loved the movie BARBIE, so I had fun buying a Barbie that looked like Cat and posing her with my books. Here’s my latest “photo session,” and it also shows why I am a writer instead of a graphic arts designer, lol.
(Yes, that’s an abbreviation for “Chapter 32 times two!” on Cat Barbie’s dress because I was asked SO many times if I was re-doing that chapter in BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE. Think the answer’s obvious now *wink*.) As a reminder, you can get BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE at #Ad Amazon,* B&N, Apple Books, Libro, Audible, Indiebound, or Kobo.
And now, Dragon CON!
If you’re also attending, I hope you can stop by one of these events and say hello!

If you’re new to DRAGON CON and want more information, here are some details:
DRAGON CON, Aug. 31 – Sep. 4, 2023 in Atlanta, GA. GET TICKES HERE.
“Dragon Con is the largest multi-media, popular culture convention focusing on science fiction & fantasy, gaming, comics, literature, art, music, and film in the universe. Call us a phenomenon, call us one of the most well attended pop-culture conventions in the country, call us the most fun you can have in five days!”
I apologize, I don’t know what the redoing of Chap. 32 in BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE is in reference to. I compared the chapter in both books – it’s the one where Cat first meets Mencheres, and Bones tells him of his plan to leave Ian’s line. For those of us who may be out-of-the-loop, would you recap the issue?
That is chapter 26, not 32.
Chap 32 is the R or XXX rated one. 🙂
I originally thought that was the chapter Jeaniene meant. In the print version of ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE, it is Chap 32. But then I looked at the blog, again and noticed Jeaniene said, “… that chapter in BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE.” In my Kindle, Chap 32 of BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE is the VA Tech/Mencheres chapter, and Chap 39 is the “… blisters [Annette’s] ears” chapter. It appears that my Kindle has the BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE chapters numbered differently. 🙂
Thanks, btw!
