SoonerCon Panels
Just a quick update before I run off to SoonerCon this weekend. most of my writing has been put on hold for a couple of reasons: The day job has been hectic and I've been putting in lots of hours leaving very little time to write. In addition, what time I have had has been spent trying to relax as I read two of David Weber's books in preparation for my Q&A with him on Saturday at SoonerCon.
So I want to talk a moment about the panels I am on. First off there's the Firefly panel and speculation on why such a cult favorite program hasn't returned. Of course the big reason is that it is difficult to coordinate schedules of everyone who was a major part of the program. But we'll see where that conversation goes.
Rock Music! How has it influenced sci-fi and fantasy...or vice versa. I immediately think of bands and performers such as Dio, Hawkwind, Yngwie Malmsteen, Yes and more.
Then there's the Yard Dog Roadshow. Not sure what Selina has planned yet, but it's always a blast and never the same show twice. t may be a murder mystery, interpretive dance while reading our new stories in Flush Fiction Vol. II or a Jerry Springer parody just to name a few possibilities. If you're easily offended this isn't the show for you. If you like your authors crazy and sometimes funny, then come on down.
Not long after I moderate the panel with David Weber I will be doing a reading. Depending on whether I read my story "Bloodsucking Monkeys" from Flush Fiction or not will determine if I read "Dangerous Pearl" from the new Skelos Magazine instead.
Then it's off to a panel on vampire archetypes. There have been many. Some have been good and some have literally sucked. I won't name names here.
Finally, on Sunday, it's how (and which) horror films have influenced the authors on the panel. I sort of grew up on the hood of a car watching movies at the drive-in, including Jaws, The Swarm, Towering Inferno and such. And many weekends I could catch a lot of Universal horror films during the afternoon. So I have plenty of media to blame on my mania.
Hope to see some of you at the panels or at the table I 'll be sharing with author/artist Mel. White.
