Pigeonholes are for birds

Admit it: you don’t just read science fiction, you read mysteries too. And at least once a week you make a trip to the “other” bookstore across town so none of your friends will find out you have a book-a-day romance habit.

When you have guests, you pray they don’t look at your shelves, because you don’t know how to explain all the books you bought for their covers. Much less the Official HIGHLANDER Series Sword ™ hanging like the sword of Damocles over your bed.

You’d really like to attend a con or two or three, but you don’t know if you’d like it. The reports you’ve found don’t tell you what you need to know. Would it be too crazy? Would it be crazy enough? Is it a party where only “insiders” need apply?

You might know if you were an insider, but you’ve always had too many interests to be pigeonholed. We know. We feel the same way. That’s why we started Crescent Blues.

Crescent Blues will talk to favorite writers, and ask them the things you’d like to know, because we want to know them too. We will explore the side streets of arts and entertainment. We will look at cons from the inside out, and bring back the stories you want to read.

Think of Crescent Blues as your cross-over con, open 24/7. Like a con, we have a number of “tracks” to amuse you, and you can skip from one to the other at will without missing a thing.

But unlike a convention fixed in time and space, our programming isn’t limited to pre-scheduled events. Our tracks and features will grow with each update, because like you, we refuse to be limited by anyone else’s notions of what we should be.

Crescent Blues — like life — isn’t a niche; it’s a treasure trove.
