During D&D last week I made a doodle of some of my very favorite characters, from some of my very favorite books. It’s Nita and Kit, young wizards extraordinaire! Someday I’m gonna do a whole series of them. .

I usually read several books at a time, with one main book and other side books. A side book may be promoted to main book from time to time.

Take a look at our new merch and premium badge tier for CrossingsCon’21!

Our t-shirts this year, in addition to being absolutely fabulous, will be offered in both fitted and unisex options.

This year’s posters give you a glimpse of far-off destinations - or should we say far out?

And finally (for now), offered for the first time, take a look at our Custom Wizard’s Knot Dice! You can get: a D10, D6, or a full set of 7 dice! On the D10s and D6s, the 10 and the 6 are replaced with wizard’s knots, and if you get the full set, you choose between the D6 and D10.

Our premium badge package includes:

An exclusive badge design

A con t-shirt in your choice of style (via coupon code in our preorder store)

A pass that lets you go first in the autograph line

Access to an exclusive hangout with Diane, Mark, and Ursula

The premium badge package costs $130 and there are only 6 of them available.

With the convention right around the corner and the announcements of our exciting new guests, we hope y'all didn't forget about everyone who's gonna be there! We can't wait to hang out with both Diane Duane and Ursula Vernon next week.

Diane is the creator of the Young Wizards YA science fantasy series (now up to volume 10) and the Middle Kingdoms LGBTQ adult-fantasy series (three main-sequence novels and various long and short interstitial fiction), and has also worked in comics and computer games. She has also written extensively for television and film, working with characters ranging from Jean-Luc Picard to Batman and from Siegfried the Volsung to Scooby-Doo. She has picked up various awards for her prose and screen work over time, the most recent of these being the Faust Grandmaster Award from the International Association of Media Tie-In Writers. She also served as a writer guest of honor at the World Science Fiction Convention in Dublin in 2019.

Ursula, an author and illustrator, has written over fifteen books for children, several novels for adults, an epic webcomic called Digger and various short stories. She publishes children’s books under her own name and adult books under the pen name T. Kingfisher. She has received numerous awards, including the Hugo Award, the Nebula Award, and the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for her work in various mediums. Having moved across the country several times, she eventually settled in Pittsboro, North Carolina, where she works full-time as an artist, writer, and creator of oddities.

We hope to see you all in the virtual convention space this Sunday!

"Believe something and the Universe is on its way to being changed. Because you've changed, by believing. Once you've changed, other things start to follow. Isn't that the way it works?" -- Diane Duane. #dianeduane #quoteslover . Imagine if a fortune teller told you what your life would be like in 10 years. And for whatever magical reason, you knew for sure that this person was right. . Think about how just KNOWING that information would change how you live your life today. For good, or bad, it would change things. . Now imagine having that power already. Because you do. You can imagine a future. Like, visualize it in every juicy detail. Now, every day, make choices that match that future. . Magic is real. You have the power to create it. . #wabisabi #storyteller #lifeisastory #lifeiswhatyoumakeit #synchronicity #findingmyself #trustingtheuniverse #intuition #shesawitch #witchywoman #strongwomen #magicisreal #makeyourownmagic #magiciseverywhere #magicalgirl #magicallife #makelifebeautiful #createyourfuture https://www.instagram.com/p/COeT6SrsjPY/?igshid=1f1kd216lq63y
