Science fiction convention (3rd of 2026)

This weekend is yet another science fiction convention for me. Well, that’s the wrong emotional weight. It’s actually only the third sf con I’ll be at this year—far too few compared to years past. At any rate, this weekend is Readercon in Burlington, Massachusetts. If you’re joining me there, look for me (first, foremost, and always), in the dealers’ room at the Fantastic Books table. The room is scheduled to be open Friday from 3 to 7pm, Saturday from 10am to 7pm, and Sunday from 10am to 3pm.

I’ll also be on programming, from which schedule you’ll see that the dealers’ room opening is not at the beginning of this convention, unlike most others. You’ll find me on the following panels:

Friday at 1pm in Salon C-D: “Sports in Speculative Fiction” with Carl Engle-Laird, Claire Houck, Marianna Martin, and Bethany Powell.

Friday at 2pm in Salon A-B: “Secretly Brilliant Strategists” with Elizabeth Porter Birdsall, Julie C. Day, Marissa Lingen, and Caitlin Rozakis.

Saturday at 1pm in Create-Collaborate [yes, that’s apparently the name of a meeting room]: “Rules Were Made to be Broken” with Kathleen Jennings, Bethany Powell, Robert V.S. Redick, and Gregory Wilson.

Saturday at 7pm in Salon A-B: “Miles to Go: The Vorkosigan Saga at 40” with Katherine Crighton, Kate Nepveu, and Meredith Schwartz.

I’ll have copies of the new anthology Resistance (which was so popular at its debut at Balticon) as well as my Punctilious Punctuation (which is new since last year’s Readercon), and of course a whole slew of other fantastic Fantastic Books books. Hope to see you there!
