Leaving for Balticon 51 way too early tomorrow morning. It’s going to be a jam-packed weekend for me. And if you’re hoping to see me, my schedule includes:

9:30am Saturday – Kaffeeklatsch in room 8029

4-5pm Saturday: “The Art of the Pitch” in room 7029, with Meg Eden, Phil Kahn, K.M. Szpara, and Michael R. Underwood.

11am-12n Sunday: “Is the Past (of SF) Another Country?” in the 5th floor Mt. Washington room, with Jack Campbell, Robert “Bob” Chase, Meriah L. Crawford, and Kim Hargan.

5-6pm Sunday: “Writing Better Villains” in the 5th floor Homeland room, with Christiana Ellis, Dave Robison, Joy Ward, and S.L. Wideman.

And most especially, the book launch party from 1 to 3 pm Sunday in the 12th Floor Club Lounge. Join us as we debut Bud Sparhawk’s collection Non-Parallel Universes, Brian Koscienski and Chris Pisano’s novel The Biggest Bounty, and Fortress Publishing’s anthology TV Gods – Summer Programming (in which I have a story).

I’m also involved in the eSpec Books launch party Sunday night, 7 to 9pm in the hospitality suite. They’re launching several books, including If We Had Known, in which I have a story.

And as always, I’ll be spending all the other hours we’re open in the dealers’ room behind the Fantastic Books table. Hope to see you there!
