I’m delighted to say I’ll be a guest at Conquest 2010 in Brisbane in early October. I’ll be there with other local guests Trent Jamieson, Andrew Warrilow, Rowena Cory Daniells and T. Danger Julius and international guest Richard Arnold. Check out their website for all the details.
The bad news is that I have had to cancel my appearance at the Logan Library SF mega panel due to some other work commitments. Many apologies to anyone coming to say hello, but know you’ll be well entertained with the fantastic authors who will be there on the day; Trent Jamieson, Rowena Cory Daniells, Lou Cusack and the pocket rocket, Kylie Chan.
The good news is that I’ve ordered two weird westerns on amazon:
| “How the West Was Weird: 9 Tales from the Weird, Wild West” Russ Anderson Jr |
| “The Big Book of the Weird Wild West: How the West was Really Won! (Factoid Books)” John Whalen Has anyone read them or heard of them? The Joe Lansdale books looked interesting too, and I wanted to get Cowboys and Aliens but it was soooo expensive. Dear Platinum Studios, please send poor writer a complimentary copy. |
I’ll be appearing on the following panels:
Thu 1500 Rm 212: Border Crossing: YA authors writing for adults and vice versa ( with Bec Kavanagh, Pamela Freeman and Cory Doctorow)
Thu 1600 Rm 213: Motherhood in science fiction and fantasy (with Helen Merrick, Helen Venn, Tansy Rayner Roberts)
Fri 1100 Rm 215: Reading
Fri 1500 Rm P3: The Author’s Straightjacket: switching genres (with Kim Stanley Robinson, Melinda Snodgrass, Ian Irvine)
Sat 1100 Rm 201: Kaffeeklatsche

Sun 1200 Rm 201: Signing

So excited about the whole week of events and meeting some new peeps!
