Possibly.  Remember, this is over a year away.  Nothing is confirmed yet.  I don't know if Jim will be doing an Aussie signing tour between the two convention appearances.

I most sincerely hope he is coming to OZ, I may have to go solo for a day trip to Melbourne to get him to sign "Sue In a Box".

Salt Lake City is hosting it's first Comic Con this Sept 5, 6 & 7.  Maybe Jim could keep this one in mind for 2014.  This year we already have William Shatner, Kevin Sorbo and others.  We're a great convention town.  We hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics, so we can handle a crowd.

Hope to see him here in the next few years.

Hi Priscellie,

Looking forward to meeting Jim in person at the Supanova shows in April 2014 :)  http://www.supanova.com.au/news/nostalgia-stars-launch-supanova-expo-april-tour-2014/

Supanova Gold Coast - 4-6 April 2014
Supanova Melbourne - 11-13 April 2014

And Swancon (Perth) - 17-21 April 2014 ( https://2014.swancon.com.au/ )

Warm regards,

Royd Burgoyne

Thanks for posting, Royd!

Yes, we're now permitted to announce Jim's trip down under this April!  In addition to the cons Royd listed, Hachette Australia will be touring Jim around between convention dates.  I'm not sure if Jim will hit any of the central or western provinces, especially as he doesn't travel well, but either way, this is sure to please a lot of Australian fans!

Hey Priscellie,

Jim will have the Western (almost) half of Australia pretty much covered with his attendance at Swancon in Perth, Western Australia :) (Most of Western Australia is desert with a population of 2.4 million in a State roughly the size of 3 x Texas!  The capital city of Western Australia, Perth, has around 75% of the state's population, around 1.55 million and there will definitely be keen fans to see him at Swancon.)

The Supanova shows in Melbourne and Gold Coast will cover the Southern and Eastern parts of the continent and both shows have large attendances which include faithful and dedicated SF/Fantasy readers coming out to meet the Literary Guests! Warm regards,

Royd

Oh, crazy!  I have no idea what I googled, then.  For some reason, Google Maps put SwanCon in Tasmania. XD

Thanks so much for the geography lesson. Before yesterday, I had no idea how HUGE Australia is. I imagined it being maybe a third of its actual size.  I'm glad to know that Jim's con attendance will be balanced to give access to the biggest number of his Aussie fans!

It looks like Jim will be in Australia in April for three weeks.  Then he will only have a month off before he has to hit the road again for the next book signing tour.  Then there will be the various cons he'll do the rest of the year.  No wonder the books take longer to get done then in the early days of the series.  I never realized before I became a regular visitor to this forum how much personal marketing a successful author has to do.     

If Jim hits L.A. again or Las Vegas, Phoenix or Salt Lake, I will definitely go to a signing.

Jim is returning to WyrdCon in L.A. the weekend before the book's release.  His book tour hasn't been set yet, so this is pure guesswork on my part, but I'd be very surprised if he didn't start it somewhere in SoCal: L.A. or San Diego.

This is awesome! I'd seen the ConNooga post a while back, but disregarded it since i'm in California. Today I found out that my squadron is sending me out to Georgia for training, and i'll be only 3 hours away during the convention! I'll finally have a chance to meet Jim!

On another note, does Jim often do signings and cons out in the Sacramento/San Fransisco area? I try to keep my eyes open for any of them, but I haven't noticed anything since I was stationed out here a couple years ago.

When I saw that Jim was going to Phoenix I was like, "YEAH!!  THAT'S one I'll go to for sure." as I used to live in Phoenix and would LOVE to come visit again.

Then I looked at who all else was going to be there and I got even more excited.

Then I looked at the dates. 

DAMN!!

I'll be at Boy Scout Camp starting on June 5, so no Phoenix ComicCon for me.  Have fun all.

Added a bunch of events, including Kiama Library in New South Wales and Phoenix ComiCon!  A few of the places Jim will be hitting for his book tour broke the news early, so I've added them to the calendar, but this is NOT a complete list!  I'll share that as soon as I have the go-ahead from his publisher.

And, there's still more to be announced, including several more Tor Books and Del Rey authors (both publishers will be exhibiting).  Penguin/Ace will have a presence but aren't exhibiting.

Although, even with the others to be announced, I think it is a toss-up between Jim and Charlaine Harris as to who will draw the bigger crowd.  Charlaine will be in Scottsdale on tour in Mid-May, so Jim's signing lines will likely be longer at the convention.

As programming gets fleshed out, I'll post details in the Phoenix Comicon thread.

There's a rather conspicuous location missing from this tour so far... *coughChicagocough*

I've never been to any "Con".  Would love to try GenCon IF I could hear Jim B talk.
So far, I've seen that he will be at GenCon, BUT - Specifically - WHEN ?? 
It looks like it goes Thursday thru Sunday. 
IF I only go Sat & Sun will I get to hear Jim ??   :o
Please advise.     (former normal, converted to semi-nerd status by the Dresden-verse)

I mean "nerd" in the most LOVING, ENDEARING way.
Can I still be one IF I never really read comic books ??   Maybe a peripheral-nerd ? ? 
(periferal?) Oh  H***, now I have to look up peripheral to see if I spelled it correctly.   ;D
Can I be a nerd IF I like to read dictionaries for fun ?

Priscellie, is Jim's schedule pretty much done for the year or could there still be more events added?

I've finally gotten permission to announce that Jim will be returning to San Diego Comic Con! That's the only event that hadn't been announced yet. No additional events will be added to Jim's schedule.

Last year, I came 10 mins before a signing was suppose to begin and there was already a HUGE HUGE line.
One person had made a replica of Bob's skull as seen in the tv series to get signed.

If I'm not mistaken, he's taking part in two SDCC events, correct?  The Science Fiction Author cosplay on Thursday & the signing on Friday?

Then again, the Author cosplay might be something unrelated, but it sounds like that calendar that Jim promoted on Twitter a while back.

Also, I've never been to a Author signing at SDCC, do you have to pick up a ticket at the Sails Pavilion, or do you just wait in line near the booth?

As for Dragon*Con, that was kind of an impulse decision for Jim. He applied late, and he wasn't sure if he'd get in.  Surprise!

Details about SDCC will be in the SDCC thread when I get the complete listing.

Like any con would say no if Jim freakin Butcher was all "Hey, can i crash your con?" Especially after he was such a draw for every panel and signing he did last year. So glad we had already decided to return to Atlanta this year!

Are you kidding? Dragon*Con considers Jim a fire hazard, because his lines get so long. :D

Yeah, you have to show up to the unofficial pre-line line if you want to be sure to get something signed.  All of the staff at D*Con last year were pretty cool and realized Jim's a Big Deal, so while they couldn't officially recognize any lines until an hour before the event, they let us congregate out of the way and would slyly direct people to the back of our unofficial grouping.

At least they learned their lesson and didnt try to put him in the Walk of Fame - that would ve cause the fire marshal to definitely shut down the lines.

PS. is anyone going to gen con that would ask Jim a few of the questions in the Skin Games question thread I got going? Its up to 60 questions and if a few could get asked before DragonCon that would make things much easier.

Priscellie, 

Question, do you know if Jim will be in Atlanta the Thurs of DragonCon?
There is an event party going on and wanted to send a general invite out but wasnt sure the procedure - should we sent a twitter out, send the info to you, something else?

I think he'll be there the whole time, but I don't know what evening plans he's made yet. Send me your invitation and I'll make sure Jim gets it.
