I've Been Invited to Be the Guest of Honor At Mythcon 47, San Antonio TX, 2016

I received an invitation this morning to be a Guest of Honor for Mythcon 47 next year in San Antonio, TX. I am very excited to have been asked and am so looking forward to the event. I will be re-reading my C.S. Lewis, Mythologies, Tolkien, and a whole bunch of other authors and works over this coming year in preparation. I am actually glad to have a reason and an opportunity to read all these wonderful works again, and to be able to share in some great conversations next year. Of course, I am also nervous as hell...already.

Faces of Mythology: Ancient, Medieval, and Modern

The theme of the 47th annual Mythopoeic Conference is inspired by the 60th anniversary of C.S. Lewis���s Till We Have Faces and The Last Battle; this year we focus on the mythology that has shaped and ���given faces��� to so many of our beloved characters, ranging from the myths of the Ancient Greeks to the legends of the Middle Ages and even to the modern mythology of the American Southwest. Similarly, this mythological influence is also evident in the works of many of our favorite mythopoeic authors, from J.R.R. Tolkien to J.K. Rowling, from Ursula K. Le Guin to Alan Garner, and many, many more.
