hrjIt occurs to me to mention that I'll be on some panels at BayCon this weekend in San Jose. (Well, technically in Santa Clara, but if we can use "San Francisco" to stand in for the whole Bay Area, we can use "San Jose" to stand for the South Bay.)
I was not, alas, able to get a reading slot. And most likely if you want to buy any of my books you'll have to buttonhole me personally rather than being able to find them in the dealers' room. (I'm still working on the puzzle of how to identify which booksellers will be at which conventions so I can contact them about whether they'll have my books in stock.) But if you're attending, please say "hi", and consider checking out these panels:
Saturday: 4pm - Write what you Care About or Write to the Market?
Is there a place for writers who aren't entirely market driven. Can one survive zombie, space war, vampire, and other trends? How does one find niche markets? What do you have to do to ride trend waves. Do changes in the publishing world mean more or less access to audiences for nonconforming writers?
Sunday: 11:30 am - Book Discovery: Biotech Fiction and Non-Fiction (moderator)
Are you curious about what inventive people are imagining in the field of biotechnology? Our panelists give you their recommendations for stories to read, as well as non-fiction material that may spark your imagination by showing you what's going on at the cutting edge of biotech.
Sunday: 1pm - Book Discovery: Histories and Memoirs
How important was the salt trade throughout history? What did it feel like to ride the Space Shuttle? Whether you're an omnivorous reader or a writer looking for inspiration, histories and memoirs can bring to life ideas, worlds, and experiences that were previously unknown to you. Our panelists recommend some thought-provoking books in these categories.
