WorldCon Schedule!

AKA LACon V, But Whatever

The schedule is up and, barring being added to more panels, this is my (paltry) schedule. I’m going to see what I can do in terms of scaring up publicity for Horngard, as that’ll be published (eep!) a couple of months later.

Here’s my rubric:

The Jewish Horror one is interesting because, in my traumatized opinion, the whole Shmuley Myers series is one, long, drawn out horror show. But I’ve got From Generation to Generation (ebook/audio), a Jewish “Lazarus” tale with enough personal history trauma to make it qualify a bit as a horror piece. Speaking of which, if anyone’s interested in free listener codes and is willing to write a review, just contact me and I’ll see if I can make that happen.

I’m guessing the second will be an AMA, but I don’t know if anyone’s going to be moved, at the end of the Con, to come see… We’ll see.

2025 Olio

Writing

This is shaping up to be a busy year. The fourth novel in the Shmuley Myers mystery series, tentatively titled “A Measure of Mercy,” will be out in the fall. Two other under-wraps projects are underway as well. Or is it three?

Armadillocon

I’ll be attending and co-running this year’s Writers Workshop. It’s an excellent opportunity to get peer and professional critiques of your work. The ‘con is low-key, welcoming authors and readers of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Meet your authors, learn about the business, and attend fun panels (I hear there’s filking).

WorldCon 2025

I’ll be attending WorldCon in Seattle (August 13-17). Glasgow was a trip too far for me last year, but I’m jazzed to go. ArmadilloCon faves Nisi Shawl (whose talks on “Writing the Other” are an ArmadilloCon must-see) and Martha Wells (The Murderbot Diaries) will be there.

Social Media

While I have accounts on Meta and the site formerly known as Twitter venues, I do not use them. Find me at BlueSky (or, obviously, here).

ArmadillonCon 46 Approacheth!

I’ll be at the Austin-based con this weekend. There’s an amazing panoply of panels and events that are amazing. You can register on-line, and it’s reasonably priced. There’s no ComicCon hype and not much cosplay, but there are many Austin and area authors in the SF, F, Horror, and even a little MM space.
