I just received my (hopefully) final con schedule, so I figured I’d share it here for the people who are going to be attending and want to come see me and/or the other panelists and participants.
Of course, I’ll also be on the floor and at the bars and parties all weekend long when I am not scheduled for anything else, so there’s a good chance you’ll see me around.

Wild Cards: An Ongoing Shared Universe
Format: Panel
18 Aug 2018, Saturday 12:00 – 13:00, 210G (San Jose Convention Center)
Who knew when Wild Cards was released in 1987 that it would grow to over 2 dozen books and still be going strong over 30 years later.
The latest installments are Texas Hold ‘Em and Knaves Over Queens. The eighth book, One-Eyed Jacks, is being reprinted and released during the convention.
Join the creators and authors for this discussion about how it all started, and where it’s going to be going.

Sciencing the Heck out of Exposition
Format: Panel
19 Aug 2018, Sunday 14:00 – 15:00, 212D (San Jose Convention Center)
One of the joys of hard science-fiction is the science itself. Sometimes you can gloss over the details of exactly how doubly uniparental inheritance of mitochondrialDNA works, and sometimes you need people to know about the package in the sperm’s tail. Sometimes the rocket just launches, and sometimes you need the reader to understand the details of orbital mechanics. In this panel, our hard SF authors will go over the ins and outs of handling exposition. For science!
Patrick Nielsen Hayden (M), Nancy Kress, Larry Niven, Catherine Asaro, Marko Kloos
So, you’re not coming to Pa.
