As I've mentioned, at the end of the month, I will be in Williamsburg, VA, attending RavenCon as a guest.
And they've decided to let me moderate! BWAHAHAHAAHAHA
.... Yeah, moderating should be about as hard has hosting my radio show. Come up with a few questions, and let them talk.

Science Fiction as Epic
Description: Often science fiction that is epic in nature is dismissed as "space opera," but science fiction can be epic without resorting to the world destroying of Edmond Hamilton or the dogfighting X-Wings of Star Wars. What constitutes epic science fiction and what does it do that more personal stories can't?
Moderator: Me. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Follow that Clue! The Making of a Great Mystery
Description: Part of the fun of reading mystery novels is to discover the clues and figure out the resolution before the detective reveals what happened. As an author, how does one make sure the clues are planted properly without falling into the Holmesian trap of keeping the main clue hidden from the reader.

I'm out of there, and on my way back home. I probably won't make it that night, especially if I stop at a friend's house along the way.
While I will have some books with me, I won't have an awful lot. Some I don't even have five copies of.
So if I'm going to see you, you might want to order some yourself.

The Love at First Bite series.
Good luck! Is there a chance any of these will be recorded?
ReplyDeleteI hope to record everything I'm going to be on. How that works out will depend on my plus-one.
