This weekend is Heliosphere, the second iteration of the new convention in Tarrytown (Westchester), New York. As always, I’ll be spending a lot of time in the dealers’ room (at the Fantastic Books table — the room is open Friday, 4-10pm; Saturday, 11am-6pm; and Sunday, 11am-3pm), but I’ll also be on three panels:

Friday, 5pm in Ballroom 4: “Solicited Advice: Editors Share Their Thoughts” with Bjorn Haessler, Mike McPhail, Alex Shvartsman, and Michael A. Ventrella.

Saturday, 11:30am in Ballroom 4: “Dealing with Rejection as a New (or Even Old) Writer)” with Keith R.A. DeCandido, John Grant, April Grey, Barbara Krasnoff, and Mark Oshiro.

Sunday, 12:30pm in Ballroom 2: “The Making of an Alternate History World” with Teel James Glenn, Carol Gyzander, and Elektra Hammond.

Hope to see some of you there!
