At ReaderCon This Weekend
I will be at ReaderCon, the literary spec-fic con held in Boston, this weekend.
I’ll be giving a reading of my own fiction Sat. at 11:30 AM. I haven’t dicided yet which of my recent publications to read from–“Very Strange Weird” in the recent Space and Time, “The Halberdier, by Moonlight” forthcoming in On Spec, which I read at Balticon, and possibly “Of Casting Pits and Caustic Salts,” in the current Heroic Fantasy Quarterly.
There is also a Beneath Ceaseless Skies reading Sat. afternoon at 2:30 PM. It will include writers such as Mike DeLuca, Margaret Ronald, Matt Kressel, and more.
And as always, there will be great stuff in the dealer’s room and lots of cool panels. One I’m really looking forward to is Liz Hand’s lecture on Tolkien elements in black metal, the Viking-influenced very dark-themed metal which is mostly from Norway and Sweden. My metal tastes run more toward the technical side (Meshuggah, coincidently also from Sweden), but I am familiar with the black metal bands and their heavy Tolkien influence.
And, also as always, I will be in the pub rather frequently. :) If you see me there or in the halls, or at my reading or the BCS reading, feel free to say hello!
