lagilmanStill busy, in a good way. This time, I give you my updated schedule for Dragon*Con (September 4-7)
Panels
What Women Want in Their SF-F role Sat 11:30 am
Plenty of panels discuss what women's roles are, have been, and will be in science fiction, but what do women really want when they read? [on the surface this panel sounds sexist -- don't we want what all readers want? -- but we should be able to own the topic within a few seconds, and make it actually useful for readers and writers -- and publishers]
Writing Paranormal Fiction Sun 11:30 am
Join Bob Blackwood and Gail Martin as they moderate a discussion with paranormal fiction writers. Bring popcorn and betting sheets.
Strong Female Protagonists: Sun 01:00 pm
How do you write strong female protagonists who are still vulnerable enough to seem real? The pros tell how to develop believable heroines. [again, the topic feels... odddly sexist. A female must be vulnerable to be real? I intend to mix this one up a little, if I can get the audience behind me...]
Other
Reading = Friday at 2:30pm
Autographing = Monday, 11:30am
I will also be signing at The Missing Volume (Exhibitor Hall 2, booth 614/615) on Saturday, 3pm
Hope to see some familiar faces (or phosphors) there!
