Virtual Guest at Opus Fantasy Fest this weekend!

I’ve been invited to be a “virtual guest” for the Opus Fantasy Fest in Denver. I’ll be here in Phoenix, but will be participating in panels and doing a reading at the convention over the Internet. I’ll be doing this via Second Life.

All events and tours will take place here. Just click that link and you’ll get a link directly into my office in Second Life.

Opus Fantasy Fest is going to set up a feed from the convention, so we’ll be able to see what’s going on there while folks at the convention will be able to watch all of us in Second Life. It’s an innovative program and will be a lot of fun. I’m looking forward to it.

Getting into Second Life is easy, and doesn’t cost a cent. Set up an account, download the software, and then you can click here. That will take you to a spot in the Third Life and Farpoint Media area where we have a lot of free stuff for new folks.

This is going to be a ton of fun. Please join us!
