In the immortal words of the Blues Brothers, "We're getting the band back together!" The Traveling Circus and Snake-Oil Show is reuniting for a glorious blow-out at Borderlands Books in San Francisco, California, where they'll spend the evening of March 9th celebrating the release of A Local Habitation, book two in the October Daye series.

With live music from SJ Tucker, Betsy Tinney, Michelle "Vixy" Dockrey, Seanan McGuire, and more, a reading, and a raffle, this is sure to be the kitchen party to end all kitchen parties. The festivities begin at five and end at nine. Be there!

Seanan will be appearing at the Belmont Library in Belmont, California (near San Francisco) on Sunday, March 14th, at 2:00 PM. There will be a reading and a Q&A session. Seanan will also be signing things, although she won't be selling things herself. This is her first library appearance, and we'd love to see you there!

Seanan is ecstatic to announce that she'll be appearing as the Music Guest of Honor at Marcon 45 in Columbus, Ohio. The convention will be held May 28th through May 30th, 2010. Why was Seanan a natural fit for this year? Why, because the theme is Necropolis: A Year of Horror, of course, and what could be more horrifying than our very own pretty little dead girl?

Online registration is $35.00 through January 1st, 2010, when rates start going up. Please check the convention website for more details. We hope to see you there!

In the misty future, Seanan will definitely be attending Aussiecon 4 in Melbourne, Australia in 2010. Seanan vs. the LAND OF POISON AND FLAME. Because sometimes the world is awesome.
