The folks who run Capclave are bucking the trend. Instead of waiting until the last days or week before their convention, participants received their programming schedule a couple days ago . I had to work out a couple potential kinks in mine or I’d have shared it with you sooner, but here it is, in all its glory:

Friday, October 14th:
5:00 – 6:00 “Holy Shuftik!” He Cried

Saturday, October 15th
12:00 – 1:00 Author Table
4:30 – 5:00 Reading

Sunday, August 16th
11:00 – 12:00 So You Want to Put Together an Anthology?
2:00 – 3:00 The Genre Food Panel

Somewhere in there, I’m intending to do something by way of launching the newest anthology from Paper Golem, Cucurbital 2, possibly at my Author Table on Saturday, or maybe as part of a room party Friday or Saturday evening. If all else fails, I’ll have copies available at the mass signing on Saturday night.

Of course Barry will be there with me, and he wants nothing more in this life than to have his picture taken with you (you know who you are).

See you at the convention!

This seems like as good a time as any to lock in for public viewing what my convention-going schedule is for the rest of the calendar year.

The annual Nebula Awards Weekend is coming up, and I’ll be in attendance. This year (and next) it’s being held in Washington, D.C., a not uncomfortable car trip for me. That’s especially convenient because it means I can load the trunk up with books I want to get signed.

That’s right, I said “signed.” If you’re in the area, you might be interested in attending the Massive Book Signing that’s scheduled for Friday, May 20th, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. Attendance at the conference is not required, and there will be quite a few authors present to sign copies of your books, whether you bring them with you from home or buy them on site.

Here’s the list of authors scheduled to be there, and I suspect more will be added to the list:

John Joseph Adams, Christopher Barzak, J. Kathleen Cheney, Aliette de Bodard, Tom Doyle, Scott Edelman, Timons Esaias, Cynthia Felice, Andrew Fox, Kerry Frey, Laura Anne Gilman, Anne Groell, Joe Haldeman, Peter Heck, Vylar Kaftan, JohnKessel, Alethea Kontis, Mary Robinette Kowal, Geoffrey A.Landis, Allen Lewis, Tom Lewis, Lee Martindale, James Morrow, Catherine Petrini, Stanley Schmidt, Lawrence Schoen, Lansing Sexton, Bud Sparhawk, Allen Steele, Eric James Stone, Michael Sullivan, Robin Sullivan, Michael Swanwick, Brandie Tarvin, Mary Turzillo, Michael Whelan, Alexander Whitaker, Connie Willis

In particular, I want to point out J. Kathleen Cheney and Eric James Stone because along with other things I’ll have in the trunk of my car, I’m bringing assorted books published by Paper Golem, such as Alembical 2, which includes Cheney’s Nebula nominated novella “Irons Shoes,” and Stone’s brand new (and not “officially yet released”) collection Rejiggering The Thingamajig And Other Stories, which includes his Nebula and Hugo nominated short story “That Leviathan, Which Thou Hast Made.” These will be available for purchase during the signing. Also available will be my new novel, Buffalito Contingency, which also isn’t “officially” out either.

So come on down, join SFWA as we celebrate our own, and get some books signed (and, ahem, buy a few new ones too). And be sure to stop by and say “hi” to me.
