Can't wait!
I'll be at Odyssey.Con in Madison, Wisc. next month, April 10-12.
Not only will I get to meet authors Jonathan Maberry and Heather Brewer, but.... I get to be on panels with them! (Hope zombies don't get my tongue. haaaa!)
Here's my schedule so far: If you attend, say hello. I'll be glad to see some other authors I know and share panels with again like W.D. Gagliani and David Benton.
Saturday, April 11
11 a.m. - Re-Inventing Worlds
Got a cool new vampire/faerie/zombie story you are dying to
write? Putting you own spin on existing myths or folklore can be tough. Will
your vampires sparkle? Will your mermaids feast on humans? Will your unicorns
bite with venom? What liberties can an author take with an existing mythos, and
what changes should always be off limits?
Panelists: Christine Verstraete, Jonathan Maberry, Anna
Black, Monica Valentinelli
4 p.m. - Discover Local Authors
Many wonderful authors are located right here in Wisconsin! Discover them here.
Panelists: Paul Dale Anderson, Alex Bledsoe, Matt Forbeck, Christine Verstraete
10 p.m. - Frankenstein - Monster or Hero?
Since 1818 Mary Shelly's Frankenstein has captivated
imaginations. Over the last two centuries, Frankenstein has been re-interpreted
countless ways. Is he a monster, a hero or the original zombie?
Panelists: Christine Verstraete, W.D. Gagliani, David
Benton, Georgie Schnobrich
Sunday, April 12
10 a.m. - Writing horror for Kids
Writing scary characters and subjects for YA & kids can
be problematic. How do you make both kids and parents happy? Which authors push
the boundaries? Are there any subjects or monsters that should always be
avoided?
Panelists: Christine Verstraete, Heather Brewer, Jonathan
Maberry
11 a.m. - Urban Fantasy & Mystery
Why do so many urban fantasies have a detective plot as the
main thread? Who are your favorite mystery solvers?
Panelists: Christine Verstraete, Melissa Olson, W.D.
Gagliani, David Benton
2 p.m . - Must-read zombie fiction
What are the best zombie books on the market? Are zombies
urban fantasy, or do they have their own genre like superheroes?
