This weekend Boston's biggest annual science fiction convention returns to the Westin Seaport hotel, January 13-16. I'll be there, promoting my rare and eagerly-sought new book The Scarab Mission. I'm also doing several panels and events.
Saturday, January 14
10:00 A.M.: Connecting With Your Kids Through Media — How liking the same nerdy stuff as your kids can draw you closer together.
4:00 P.M.: Overt and Covert Antagonists: Who's More Evil? — Which is worse, a bad guy you don't know about, or one who isn't afraid to make their villainy obvious?
8:30 P.M.: All Words Are Made Up — How to do alien or fantasy languages, what to avoid, and why it's important.
Sunday, January 15
11:30 A.M.: Reading — I'll be reading some selections from The Scarab Mission.
2:30 P.M.: Gods Walk Among Us — Gods, both real and made-up, as characters in fantasy fiction.
When I'm not in these program events I'll be hanging around. If I can arrange it, there may be some copies of The Scarab Mission available (no guarantees). If that doesn't work out I can provide signed bookplates to paste into your copy when it finally arrives. And of course, I'll sign any of my older work, including games.
See you all at Arisia!
