\"\"Have I been horrible about posting lately or what? For that I apologize, but we are coming up on one of my favorite times of the year, ConQuest in Kansas City (and my birthday). ConQuest is a long-running science fiction and fantasy convention. As usual, I will be taking part in several panels, which I will list here. You can find the full schedule here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is my panel schedule:<\/p>\n

Friday (May 26th, otherwise known as my birthday)<\/p>\n

3:00 PM – So, You Want to Be in Pictures – Jim Yelton, Leanna Brunner, Bryn Donovan, and I will discuss screenwriting and the applicability of its skill set to writing prose.<\/p>\n

5:00 PM – Horror Novels\/Short Stories Everyone Should Read – Earline Beebe, Sherri Dean, Jonathan Mayberry, and I recommend the best in horror fiction.<\/p>\n

Saturday (May 27th)<\/p>\n

11:00 AM – I will be reading, along Donna Wagenblast Munro.<\/p>\n

1:00 PM – Comic Book Television and Film: Boom or Bust – Marshall Edwards, Brendan Beebe, Matthew Munro, and I will be talking about comic adaptations. Which are good, which are bad, and when the bubble is going to burst.<\/p>\n

3:00 PM – Why Write Short Stories? – Karen Bovenmyer, Sean Demory, Dora Furlong, and I will be talking about the short story genre and why it is still important, despite diminishing markets and diminishing pay.<\/p>\n

5:00 PM – The Running Man: The First Hunger Games – Craig Smith, Brian Pigg, Michelle Stutzman, and I will be talking about Stephen King’s\u00a0The Running Man\u00a0<\/em> and its influence.<\/p>\n

Sunday (May 28th)<\/p>\n

10:00 AM – Can Writing Be Taught? – Lynette Burrows, Jesse Pringle, Rachael Mayo, Paula Helm Murray, and I will be discussing a writer’s education and debating whether or not writing can truly be taught.<\/p>\n

12:00 PM – A Writer’s Library: Books Every Writer Should Read – Lynette Burrows, Brooke Johnson, Rachael Mayo, Paula Helm Murray, and I will be discussing a writer’s library and what books belong in every writer’s toolbox.<\/p>\n

It is going to be a busy weekend, but it should be a lot of fun. Hopefully, I will also get some homework done between the paneling and socializing.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t made plans to join us yet, check out the website: www.conquestkc.org<\/a>. There will be cosplay, gaming, a dealer room, and an art show in addition to the panels.<\/p>\n

I look forward to seeing everyone there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
