Schedule

This is my second go-round at Readercon, which as I mentioned last year is a major fantasy/sci fi conference--but for writers and readers only. If you're in the Boston area, please try to stop by--I'll update the specific time for my reading when I have it. Word of warning--there is a day pass cost, but there are a whole lot of great authors who are going to be here, so it's worth your while to check it out.

I'll be venturing north of the border for the second time in less than a year to this convention in Toronto, where I'll be doing a reading (and perhaps some panels, not sure yet). The Ad Astra people work as hard as anyone I know in promoting their convention (they must have a table at every preceding convention in North America!), and I'm looking forward to attending for the first time. Stop by and check it out if you're in the Toronto area!

This will be my second go-round at the ICFA, and there's no truth to the idea that the convention's appeal has anything to do with being in Florida. (How cynical of you, really. ;) ) This was fun the last time, and I'm looking forward to a return visit--please stop by if you're near Orlando around this time!

I'll be reading from Icarus, and perhaps a bit of The Third Sign, at the World Fantasy Convention in Calgary--it'll be the first time I've gone in any capacity, and I'm looking forward to seeing what all the buzz is about. Drop me a line if you're planning on being there!

UPDATE: The specific reading time is Saturday at 9 p.m. Please stop by!

Since I met the guy who bought and edited The Third Sign for Five Star (John Helfers) here two years ago I'd feel kind of silly not to be going again...especially since there are, well, lots of other books, games, and similarly fun things there too. It'll be too early to read from TTS, but I'll be attending the panel to see John present...so he can have a real life example either of what to do or what not to do, I suppose. If you haven't been to GenCon in the past, I recommend it...it's always a good time.

From the "this just in" files, I've just found out that I'll be reading a portion of Icarus at Readercon 2008! For those of you who don't know, Readercon is a major fantasy/sci fi conference--but for writers and readers only. If you're looking to try out your new Klingon Battlecruiser Commander outfit on for size (and who wouldn't want to do that, by the way?), this probably isn't the place for you. But if you're really into the literature of fantasy and science fiction, everyone tells me it doesn't get much better than this. I'll be able to confirm that for myself in about a week. If you're in the Boston area, please try to stop by--my reading is Friday at 8 p.m., but what the heck would you rather be doing on a Friday night anyway? (Don't answer that.) Word of warning--there is a day pass cost (I don't remember the exact amount), but as I said, there are a whole lot of great authors who are going to be here, so it's worth your while to check it out.
