Just a quick reminder (ahem):

This Saturday, find me at the Pittsburgh Book Festival! Where I will be hanging out with some astounding colleagues and participating in two panels.

10:30 AM: Speculative Frontiers: Sci Fi

(Register here)

Look towards the stars as you join Elizabeth Bear, John Chu, and Alexandra Oliva for an out-of-this-world Science Fiction panel. Whether it's crossing the galaxy, trying to keep the universe from falling apart, or navigating first contact, these three books are grounded by the importance and impact of family.

2:30 PM: How the West got Weird

(Register here)

Elizabeth Bear, Nicholas Belardes, Sheldon Costa, and Frederic S. Durbin discuss the different takes on the western and how weirdness shows up in each one. Adventure, murder, and survival in majestic landscapes mix with alchemy, strange creatures, steampunk, ghost trains, and cosmic horror.

There will be signings directly after each panel session! Books will be for sale, provided by White Whale and Mystery Lovers bookstores.

I see that John Scalzi and Isabel Kim will also be in attendance, on the SFFH front, along with Sarah Beth Durst, Julie Leong, Jennifer Mandula, Mir Benitz, Grace Byron, Carter Keane, Sam Rebelein, Meg Medina, Daniel Kraus, AND MANY MORE!

Hope to see some of you there!
