Next week I head west to Contact, Perth's annual convention. This time not just in the role of paticipant, audience member, panellist and author, but as the National Guest. Which means I'll be working extra hard to be entertaining, inspiring and fun.
The first event will be a talk at the City of Stirling's Osborne Library, alongside the International Guest Richard Morgan. It's at 9 Royal Street, Tuart Hill, starting at 11:30am. The flier is here.
I may also be doing some bookshop visits to sign stock before the con - I'll post details when they come in.
At the convention my schedule is:
Thursday
7:30 pm - Opening Ceremony
Friday
3:00 pm - Book Signing
7:30 pm - launch of The Priestess and the Slave
9:30 pm - Panel: Religion in fantasy
Saturday
8:00-9:00 pm - Masquerade Judging
9:30 pm - Panel: So why the hell do you want to be a writer anyway?
Sunday
12:00 pm - Guest of Honour Speech
3:00 pm - Panel: What's hot in fantasy?
4:00 pm - Book Signing
Monday

Hope to see some of you there!
