My Schedule at unCONventional

I’ll be attending unCONventional, the New Zealand SF convention, June 1-4 in Auckland.

I’ll be pretty busy over the weekend. I’m participating in a few panels:

Overpopulation in SF (Saturday 10am)
Armageddon as Allegory (Sunday 9am)
Getting Published (Sunday 10am)

I’ll be doing a reading Sunday at 3pm, and I’ll head over to the group signing after that. I plan to have a few dead tree books for sale,...

M. Wehm gave to: Blackout (All Clear, #1) by Connie Willis read in May, 2012	My rating:
This was such a disappointing book. I knew that it was the first part of a two parter, but I was still caught off guard when there just stopped being words rather than even a hint of an ending. I strongly dislike books and film that do this, but I'd h...more

M. Wehm gave to: Not Comin' Home to You by Lawrence Block (Goodreads Author) read in May, 2012	My rating:
3.5 stars. An interesting and compelling story, but some unusual choices in the form of the narrative didn't work for me.

M. Wehm gave to: Moxyland by Lauren Beukes read in April, 2012	My rating:
I've had this book on my to read list forever and finally got around to it. Boy am I glad I did. The liberal use of argot and shifting perspectives can be annoying for some readers, though I'm not one of those so I really liked that aspect of the boo...more

M. Wehm gave to: Ravenwood by Nathan Lowell (Goodreads Author) read in April, 2012	My rating:
Yet another fantasy story for me, who is unashamedly not a fantasy fan. But, nothing soothes like a Nathan Lowell story, and Ravenwood fits that bill. A very enjoyable tale, definitely different than the Solar Clipper series.

M. Wehm gave to: The Courtiers by D.C. Mitchell (Goodreads Author) read in April, 2012	My rating:
Fantasy is not my bag, but I don't hate it as much when the fantastic elements are merely a normal part of the world, rather than the point of the story. The fantastic in The Courtiers is exactly that - a part of the world that is as normal to its in...more

M. Wehm gave to: The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1) by Suzanne Collins read in March, 2012	My rating:
While I enjoyed this more than I expected to, the central conceit is such a ludicrous cliche that I couldn't get past it. Even though it's well-written and the characters interesting and well-developed, the lack of believability in the whole premise...more
