I'm very excited to be participating in this year's
FOGcon, FOGcon 6 to be precise. The guests of honor are
Jo Walton,
Ted Chiang, and
Donna Haraway. The posthumous "ghost of honor" is
Octavia Butler. Butler is a big influence of mine, and incidentally enough, I just discussed her novel
Wild Seed in a guest blog post I wrote called "
The Fantasy and Sci-Fi Novels that Inspired The Dreamwielder Chronicles." I'm pretty excited to catch some panels on her work. I'm also excited to hopefully meet
Katherine Kerr, who will be appearing on several panels. I remember enjoying her
Deverry series when I was in my early teens.
