At long last, the final schedule for this year's Can-Con, Canada's homegrown speculative fiction convention, has been released into the wild (read here: the internet).
I am very busy this convention! Last year I sat on perhaps two panels and also did a reading. This year, I am on five panels, as well as on a live recording of an episode of Nights at the Round Table for Silver Stag Entertainment and I'm also doing a reading for The Winter Wolf.
Holy panels, Batman!
I'm actually super stoked about it. This will be my third year at Can-Con, and I have never not had a blast. The panels are usually great, and everyone is almost always wonderful. In case you are intensely curious or feel like stalking me, all of my appearances are listed below (and you can always come and visit me in the dealer's room, because it's the place where all the cool kids hang out):

So there we have it. I'm very busy and very pleased about it. The problem, of course, is that I won't be at my table in the dealer's room very frequently. This may prove to be a problem this year, as the Amazing Flatmate has an amazing job and will be working all of Sunday. I shall have to figure something out. Le sigh!
Of course, though I am partial to the panels I'm on, they aren't the only panels on offer. Click HERE to see them all, and decide which you must attend. There are so many great panels. I wish I could get my hands on a time-turner and go to them all.
Le sigh.
By the by, do come to Can-Con. It is almost always a spectacular time. I was so intimidated my first year at Can-Con, but everyone proved so wonderful that now it is one of my favourite places to be.
Hope to see you there!
Ciao!
