Hi Everyone,
I am attending Awesome Con in Washington D.C. this weekend. It is a large convention that showcases celebrities, comic book creators, and of course writers. I’ll be there with the likes of Terry Brooks, TJ Klune, and others. I’m excited to attend and meet anyone and everyone who approaches me.
Here is my schedule:
Friday, June 16
1:30 pm to 2:15 pm | Room 209
Panel: All Grown Up
Authors discuss the science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture that shaped their childhoods and made them into the writers they are today.
Participants: David Ebenbach, EK Johnston, Mia Tsai
Moderator: Shawn Speakman
3:30 pm to 4:30 pm | Awesome Con Bookstore – Booth #2165

Saturday, June 17
1:45 pm to 2:30 pm | Room 209
Panel: Other Worlds
How do you first create a world? What are the building blocks needed to withstand the twists and turns authors put their characters through? What’s it like diving into a previously established universe and making it your own? Join these authors as they discuss the creation and destruction of fantasy and science fiction worlds.
