Here I am after day 1 of When Words Collide, a Canadian Readercon based in Calgary, Alberta. I'm sitting on 7 panels, attending 2 Steampunk-themed parties and joining the Tyche gang for readings and autograph sessions. I'm learning so much but it's only day 1 and I'm exhaused!
The first panel was called Meet the Public: Book Launches and Signings, a Guide to Social Interaction for Authors and Other Introverts. I was joined by Aviva Bel'Harold, Faye Reinberg Holt and moderator Mark Leslie Lefebvre. We were all from very different experience and genres but it was very dynamic and I think the audience had fun.
Here's a list of the panels I'm speaking on, and the times. If you're in Calgary this weekend (Aug 12-14), do drop by. I'd love to connect with a friendly face (although everyone's very friendly here!) The first run of Dragon of Ash & Stars is also available to purchase, as is Cold Stone & Ivy. I couldn't fit the cats on the airplane. Some rule about swords. Sheesh.

I'll try to post something tomorrow night as well.
I'll have done 5 panels by then. Old hat, really.
Now, getting ready for the first Steampunk
party.
Absinthe, anyone?
