January is here and that means TBRcon21 is on its way. TBRcon21 is a free, streaming Speculative Fiction convention hosted by FanfiAddict with over 85 authors involved on 15 panels. It’s going to be streamed on YouTube, Twitch, and Facebook.

As stated above the convention is free but you are encouraged to check out the following charities and consider a donation instead of buying a ticket.

Attending conventions in person has obviously been impossible this year and with no real end in sight, TBRcon21 is the perfect opportunity to participate without turning us all into a ship full of plague rats. Instead, sit back, enjoy, and participate at a distance.

TBRcon21 spans six days with two to four panels and events per day. I’ll be a part of the author panel titled World-Building and Your Place with fellow authors Angela Boord, Brian D. Anderson, Angus Watson, Dale Lucas, and Travis M. Riddle. It takes place on January 25th at 5:00pm EST/4:00 CST or for me and those of us in Euhrope, 11:00PM CET. I can’t wait to take part and hope you’ll join us.

We’ve got another one folks! My buddy and ye old college dormmate Don dropped this new copy off near Lou Lodati Park in Queens. If you’re in the area, looking for a great read, and want to help out with the #WheresRADIO project go grab it while it’s still there and follow these easy steps.

  • Give RADIO a read
  • Consider leaving an honest review on whatever bookish site you prefer
  • Take your copy of RADIO to any new free book location. If you can’t find one, then it can just go back where you found it.
  • Either way, take a picture of that location then post the location and picture on Twitter or Instagram. Be sure to tag me @jrushingwrites and use the hashtag #WheresRADIO and I’ll repost the books new location along with a big thank you.

I’m loving how quickly this is rolling out and I can’t wait to reveal new locations. Stay tuned in the coming weeks here on this site, on Twitter, and Instagram for more.

With a little help from my amazing editor Amanda Spedding, the second free copy of RADIO to hit the little free library circuit is now up for grabs. For those in the Sydney, Australia area, head on over to the Street Library on Bardwell Road near the Charles Daly Reserve in Bardwell Park. This is great opportunity for Sydneysiders to have a go at RADIO and, if interested, help out with the #WheresRADIO campaign.

The steps are simple.

  • Give RADIO a read
  • Consider leaving an honest review on whatever bookish site you prefer
  • Take your copy of RADIO to any new free book location. If you can’t find one, then it can just go back where you found it.
