WisCon Schedule
WisCon! This weekend! Can't wait to see everyone! This is my schedule!
Three Dashing Gents & One Classy Dame: Sat, 10:00–11:15 am, Conference 2
Gwenda Bond, Richard Butner, Christopher Rowe, David J. Schwartz
Four authors read from recent work.
I'll be reading from my novel-in-progress. I'm pretty damn excited to hear these other folks read, though.
What Are the Main Infectious Disease Threats for the Next 20 Years? Sat, 1:00–2:15 pm, Assembly
Moderator: David J. Schwartz, Erin Cashier, Jim Leinweber, Carl F. Marrs, Cecile Resop
We are currently experiencing a fairly mild influenza pandemic, there are major problems with antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens, and there are ongoing concerns about bioterrorism. Are these or other threats most likely to cause problems for us in the next 20 years?
I don't really know anything about this topic, but they asked for people who would volunteer to be emergency-type moderators, and I volunteered. Those other folks are going to educate the hell out of you, though.
The Work of Kage Baker: Sun, 2:30–3:45 pm, Caucus
Moderator: David J. Schwartz, Gwenda Bond, Shira Lipkin, Margaret McBride, Gregory G. H. Rihn
Best known for her Company (Dr. Zeus Incorporated) series of mysterious, powerful, time–traveling operatives, Kage Baker's speculative fiction deftly ties history, fantasy and science with ribbons of adventure, romance, irony and keen cultural insight. She wanted more time to spend with us; let's spend some time with her life work.
Another emergency-draftee panel for me. I have, regretfully, yet to read any of Ms. Baker's work, but I know that the other panelists will have a lot to say about her.
The SignOut: Mon, 11:30 am–12:45 pm, Capitol/Wisconsin
Come get your book signed! Or stand in front of my table so I look popular!
Between events I will probably be in the Dealer's Room, either shopping or helping out Gavin at the Small Beer Press table. Or, you know, eating. Oh man I can't wait to get some Vientiane Palace. And Himal Chuli. And maybe some Kabul . . .
