Podcast appearances and mentions of jessica brawner

Jessica Brawner is an author of fiction and nonfiction, spanning topics from topical books on improving social interactions to urban fantasy and steampunk tales. She has experience in both traditional publishing and self-publishing but prefers the latter. We met through a common friend, now her husband, Steven L. Sears, who has been a guest on this podcast. She recently released her latest novel, “Tattoos on Dead Tree Flesh,” which I thoroughly enjoyed and am anxious to discuss. What a title! (Pay attention and you will have an ah-ha moment when you realize what it means!) www.jessicabrawner.com

Today on Chatting With Sherri will chat with author Jessica Brawner about her book; Charisma +1! It is a guidebook for fun, healthy, and safe Fandom conventions for everyone. We will chat conventions, writing and fandom. Join us!   Chatting With Sherri is now sponsored by Atelier Leseine  http://atelierleseine.com/

Charisma +1: The Guide to Convention Etiquette for Gamers, Geeks & the Socially Awkward is the rather long and descriptive title of the book by Jessica Brawner that aims to give pointers and share experiences at conventions for those who are less skilled at the social interaction. With all the recent – understandable – talk about the matter in the last few months, to have this book at hand is something a lot of people should consider. Never a bad idea to read a few pointers! I was indeed very curious about it and very curious to find out what was inside the book, as I was curious to find out how it’s been written to avoid being patronising or confrontational, so an interview was on order. And find out I did and I now can’t wait to buy that book and have a proper read! Hope you enjoy the show!
