Updated and probably Final Boskone Schedule

[lagilman]

In case anyone reading here will be at Boskone this weekend in Boston, MA...



Friday 8:00pm Pictionary
Myself, Keith DeCandido and Craig Shaw Gardner, none of whom can draw worth a damn. SFnal themes, of course. Alcohol WILL be involved, on my part at least.


Saturday 2:00pm Shadows Over Baker Street: SF&F Tie-ins to Mysteries
Pretty obvious, there. Huge crossover -- why? And why do so many SF writers also write mysteries, and vice versa? (Walter Mosely, Dana Stabenow, Peter Heck, Kristine Rusch, etc)

Saturday 4:00pm Kaffeklatsch
Your chance to ask me all those questions you never had the nerve to in a larger setting. Also to see my pretty!shiny!bright! cover for Staying Dead up close and personal.

Saturday 5:00pm Tall Dark and Handsomoid: the Rise of Romance SF
I can't promise anything, but I suspect the term "interstellar smut" will be used at least once.


Sunday 1:00pm Writing Your SECOND Novel
Not that I know anything at all about this topic, oh dear me no...

I'm half sorry you're doing this panel @ Boscon, as we're having something similar at Farpoint (yes, I know I'm mad at them, but I still want the panels to work) called "Spaceships and Detectives." Fascinating theories; must bounce 'em into the air at our panel.

Would then the current fashion for historical SF/alternate history be a form of forensics crossover, in that the past is being examined and interpreted? Or does the forensics fad become part and parcel of world building?
