Today at #NWC48: saw many friends, talked on a panel, gave out many business cards. (Must refill for tomorrow.)

Many plans have been planned. I'm tired but happy.

Norwescon 2026 Schedule I’m heading back to Norwescon in April. This annual convention focuses on the literary side of science fiction and fantasy with a generous helping of craft, costumes, and other convention act…

Day 2 @norwescon.org. At 11am, I'm talking about describing jobs accurately in fiction...or how I created an entire family of graveyard maintenance people in City of the Dead and a rough-and-tumble film company in Mask of Silver. #nwc48

During the dance, I stand on stage behind a table with a laptop and DJ mixer. The stage is lit in blues and greens. Behind me is a large projection screen showing fancy graphics, including the art for the songs being played and the artist and title of the currently playing track. Two Daleks flank me on either side of the stage. Photo courtesy of Pascale, one of the attendees.
