I will be on a creative writing panel at http://ltue.byu.edu/2009Home.html on Saturday, Feb 21 at 4:00. I get to meet Tracy Hickman! How cool is that? I was reading Tracy Hickman when I was a teenager.
I will be on some panels at Conduit on the weekend of May 22nd. But I don’t know which ones yet. http://conduit.sfcon.org/ Eric Flint will be there. I’m going to have to get him to autograph my copy of 1632. We should hang out or something. He’s a Baen author, I’m a Baen author, except I’ve published one novel and he’s published like 50 best-sellers. Okay, maybe he’ll let me buy him lunch or something.
It would be amusing to see you and Flint meeting. He is an ardent Trotsky communist.
I’ve met Eric Flint and several others in the 1632 support group. I host the 1632 Search Engine (http://www.crucis.net/1632search) used to track ideas/events that are “canon” in that universe.
Eric is a communist and has no qualms people knowing it. That said, he much more republican and gun-friendly in his books than during his earlier life.
Hopefully I will see you at Conduit then, I am going to try and do medical and security for them this year since MountainCon is probably not going to happen
I will be at the Y for the Feb. 21 lectures/panels for sure! Between Hickman, Sanderson and you, how could I stay away!
I would love to get a word in with Sanderson, as the Wheel of Time is my favorite series EVER (MHI isn’t a series until #2 comes out!).
I think you and NC should do the “collaborating with another writer” panel discussion.
I promise this is my last post!
I will think up a great question for your World Building panel that will make everyone rush out and pre-order MHI!
