I’m so excited to be going to Readercon in person again this year! As I’ve said in the past, it’s one of my favorite conventions. But what makes this year noteworthy is that on Sunday, July 14th, I’ll be doing a special panel at Pandemonium Bookstore with John Wiswell, Elizabeth Bear, Scott Lynch, and Max Gladstone! (How cool is that?)

Here’s my Readercon schedule:

• Thursday, July 11th @ 9pm in Salon B – Writing Hope and Optimism – with Andrea Hairston, John Wiswell, Randee Dawn, Scott Edelman
• Friday, July 12th @ 5pm in Salon 6 – Autograph Session
• Friday, July 12th @ 10:15pm in Salon 3 – Meet the Prose
• Saturday, July 13th @ 12pm in Basalt – Kaffeeklatsch
• Saturday, July 13th @ 2pm in Salon 3 – SFF and Wanderlust – with Alexander Jablokov, Amal El-Mohtar, Greer Gilman, Robert V.S. Redick
• Saturday, July 13th @ 3pm in Salon 3 in Blue Hills – Reading

The Pandemonium Book store event is totally separate from Readercon and is open to everyone. It’s at 6:30pm on Sunday, July 14th. We’ll be having a Readercon-like panel, which basically means we’ll be geeking out about books and story craft for an hour. More information for that can be found here.

As always, I hope to see you at one of these events. Or if you run into me in the hallway or at the bookstore, please don’t hesitate to say hi.

My short story recommendation this time is The Spindle of Necessity by B. Pladek over at Strange Horizons!
