my C3 schedule (EDITED TO ADD: or not…)
EDITED TO ADD: Alas, I have to, for the second year in a row, cancel my appearance at C3, as Wrenn is ill, and I must stay home and take care of my poor wife. Sigh.
Back in 2018, I was one of the keynote speakers for the writers conference Creatures, Crimes, and Creativity. (Transcript of my speech is here.) I had a great time there, and being a keynote speaker means I have an open invite to come back any time.
This year, I’m finally taking them up on that invite. (I was going to last year, but real life intervened, as it is sometimes wont to do.) I’ll be there this coming weekend, the 19th to the 21st, at the Doubletree Hilton Hotel in Columbia, Maryland.
I’ll be doing a bunch of panels, too! Here’s my schedule:
Friday
2.45pm-3.30pm: “Creating a Fictional Universe,” w/Ef Deal, Serg Koren, Glenn Parris, Edward Swing, and L. Marie Wood (Columbia East)
4.30pm-6pm: group autographing (Atrium)
6pm-7.30pm: I, along with everyone else, will be attending Jody Lynn Nye’s keynote speech over dinner (Baltimore/Washington Room)
7.30pm-9.30pm: I’ll be attending Noir at the Bar (Baltimore/Washington Room)
Saturday
10am-10.45am: “The Innovation of Genre Bending,” w/Phil Giunta, Roberta Rogow, Ann Stolinsky, and S.R. Webster (Columbia West)
2.15pm-3pm: “The Business of Writing,” w/Sharon Buchbinder, John Dedakis, Tom Straw, and L. Marie Wood (Columbia West)
4.30pm-6pm: group autographing (Atrium)
6pm-8pm: I, along with everyone else, will be attending Tom Straw’s keynote speech over dinner (Baltimore/Washington Room)
8pm-midnight: I will be one of several authors interviewed by Bill Hincy for his Writers Drinking Whiskey podcast
I have nothing scheduled for Sunday, but I’ll be around for the morning stuff (the con ends at noon Sunday).
I’ll have an advanced copy of Supernatural Crimes Unit: NYPD to show off, plus postcards with ordering info for the book, and the bookstore will have copies of Dragon Precinct, Without a License, and The Four ???? of the Apocalypse for sale.
Hope to see folks there!
