Philcon schedule!
At long last, the Philcon schedule (trumpet flourish here). I volunteered for many panels....got two. But, they're really good panels. And I'll have plenty of time to be in the dealer's room to sell books, which is a new thing for me. I'm hooked up with Broad Universe, so I'm in good company and should sell some books and give out promo material.
So, if you're in the Philly area and attending the con, here's where you can see me...
Fri 9:00 PM in Freedom G (1 hour)
THE HARRY POTTER POST MORTEM (469)
[Panelists: Stephanie Burke (mod), Christine Norris, Kathy Sands,
Michael A. Ventrella, Barbara Purdom]
It's over. Is everybody happy?
Sat 2:00 PM in Freedom E (1 hour)
WHY CHILDREN'S FANTASY IS THE CURRENT BIG THING (495)
[Panelists: Josepha Sherman (mod), Alan Beck, Victoria McManus,
Christine Norris, Danielle Ackley-McPhail]
Sure, Harry Potter is an obvious answer. But why children's fantasy
as opposed to children's science fiction?
Believe me, if I didn't really WANT to be on the HP panel, I wouldn't be going Friday evening, since I don't stay on site. And, as I said, if you don't catch me at one of these panels (blink and I'll be gone!) you can find me in the dealer's room. Hopefully signing more than buying. I always come home with a stack of books from these things.
