Welcome to the new year. With the changing of the calendar to January, comes the new crop of science fiction conventions, and the first for me, Arisia, is just over a week away (January 12-15, at the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel, in Boston, Massachusetts).

My schedule is a bit thin this year, only two panels, but if you’re at the convention and looking for me, you can find me at:

Friday, 10pm, Marina 2 “SF that Escaped the Genre” with Julie C. Day, Lisa Evans, Mark W. Richards, and Meredith Schwartz

Sunday, 7pm, Alcott “Ask an Editor: Five Minute Critiques” with Genevieve Iseult Eldedge, Tanya Gold, Alex Shvartsman, and Hildy Silverman

And, of course, I’ll be at the Fantastic Books table in the dealers’ room (it looks like I’ll have the same space as last year). We’ll be open 5-9pm Friday, 10am-7pm Saturday and Sunday, and 10am-2:30pm Monday.

Hope to see a bunch of you there!
