We are just hours from Denver Comic Con, people! Well, okay...it's already started for some people. But I'm up tomorrow with three panels, then signing books on Sunday. That's so exciting!

I've prepared quite a bit. I've looked up all my fellow panelists. I've written prompt questions. I've even scripted introductions for myself! So now it's just a matter of doing it.

I will come back with a full report and hopefully some pictures. (Thank you. That just reminded me to charge my camera. And yes, I'm still old school and use an actual camera.)

​See you in Denver!

I wanted to share with you my schedule for Denver Comic Con! I hope you'll stop by and say hello!! It's going to be AWESOME!!

Homage: The Impact of Sci-Fi Pop Culture on Writing (Room 506/507)
Saturday at 10:30 -11:20am
Explore how popular sci-fi helps an author create their own worlds and stories.
As sci-fi fans, we get excited when new works hit the big (or the small!) screen. We also hearken back to the sci-fi legacy we've been given. These classic plots, characters, and settings shape our writing and help hone us as authors. Join this panel for a lively discussion of how sci-fi has personally affected our worlds and stories.

A Galaxy Far, Far Away: Writing Space Opera (Room 502/503)
Saturday at 5:15 - 6:05pm
Explore the power of emotion and relationship set among the stars.
Space opera is a compelling, yet relatively unacknowledged genre, even though it's everywhere! We'll take a look at popular space opera and discuss how certain genre-specific elements add (or perhaps detract) from the power of the story. Panelists can contribute from their own personal writing experience as well.

Authors will explore the role religion plays in their stories, as well as popular scifi movies, television, and books.
They say never to discuss politics or religion, but both have a place in science fiction. Authors will explore the role religion plays in their stories, as well as popular scifi movies, television, and books. From the allegorical to the prophetical, we'll cover it all!
