Science fiction(-ish) convention (8th of 2025)

I’ve got my programming schedule for this year’s DragonCon. If you’re going to be part of the huge throng of people gathering in Atlanta the end of this month, these are the times/places you’ll be certain to run into me (I won’t have a dealers’ table, so everything else will be wandering about the convention):

I’ll be participating in the mass signing event known as The Gather on Friday August 29, from 8pm to midnight, in the Hyatt’s International Ballroom.

My panels include:

Saturday August 30, 5:30pm, in the Hyatt’s Embassy AB: “That Never Happened: Science Fiction as Alternate History” with D.J. Butler, Bill Fawcett, M.A. Rothman, Mark Stallings, and Ben Yalow.

Saturday August 30, 8:30pm, in the Hyatt’s Embassy EF: “Writing and Selling Short Stories” with Kevin A. Davis, Bethanne Kim, Violette L. Meier, Phillip Pournelle, and Sean H. Taylor.

Saturday August 30, 10:00pm, in the Hyatt’s International South: “Fantasy Dating Game: Will Our Characters Find a Match?” with Todd Fahnestock, Jen L. Grey, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Rachel Rener, Stacey Rourke, Daniel Schinhofen, Cisca Small, and Steve Wetherell.

Sunday August 31, 10:00pm in the Hyatt’s Embassy AB: “The Eye of Argon, Continued” with Keith R.A. DeCandido and Jean Marie Ward.

Hoping to see many of you there!

Massive media convention (ninth of 2024)

I’m leaving town Sunday for some Mensa business in Chicago, but I’ll be in Atlanta from Tuesday for my first DragonCon! If you’re going to be there, and want to see me, I gather running into people is very difficult (and Fantastic Books will not have a dealer table). But below are the program items I’m on (so I know I’ll be in these places at these times).

Also, I’m still looking for a place to stay Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Atlanta, if anyone’s looking for a temporary roommate.

Thursday at 8:30pm in Embassy AB Hyatt: “Time and Science Fiction: Time Travel Through the Years” with Griffin Barber, Bill Ritch, M.A. Rothman, and S.M. Stirling.

Friday at 5:30pm in Embassy AB Hyatt: “Time and the Telepath Time Travel Without Mechanical Means” with H.Y. Gregor, Darin Kennedy, and Jeffrey Falcon Logue.

Friday at 10:00pm in Embassy AB Hyatt: “Eye of Argon — Part 2!” with Keith R.A. DeCandido, Esther Friesner, and Gail Z Martin.

Sunday at 2:30pm in Overlook Westin: “SF Literature Track Group Signing: Time Travel” (a group signing, my first!) with D.J. Butler, Van Allen Plexico, M.A. Rothman, S.M. Stirling, and David Weber.

Hope to see many of you there, so you can help me be a little less overwhelmed!
