some appearances, belatedly

[adelaidesean]

Recently I've been slack when it comes to promoting upcoming appearances. My apologies. When I'm nose-down, it's easy to forget about the real world until it comes along and bites me on the arse. Here then, to avoid a nip on my nethers, are some events at which I'll be appearing in the coming weeks. Maybe I'll see you at one of them.

Gencon Australia: "The Best Four Days of Gaming" are almost upon us! I'm honoured to be on the program multiple times--and hoping to rub shoulders with Apollo and Baltar from BSG--from the 3rd to the 6th of July.

AATE/ALEA Literary Breakfast: The Australian Association for the Teaching of English (AATE) and the Australian Literacy Educators’ Association (ALEA) are holding a massive conference in Adelaide this July. Fiona McIntosh and I will be addressing the morning crowd very early on the 8th.

Port August Writers' Weekend: I'll be occupying a couple of slots on Sunday, July 13, babbling on about SF and publishing.

Denvention: I'll be reading at Worldcon, 5.30pm on Saturday August 9. And appearing regularly at the bar with pink drink in hand.

Writers of the Future: From Denver, I'll be zipping to Malibu for the 24th annual WOTF workshop and celebratory bash (with a number of Australian winners, I'm pleased to say).

The Force Unleashed launch: While in Malibu, just minutes before I get on the plane to come home on August 19, I'll be at Diesel, A Bookstore to help launch the latest chapter in the Star Wars saga. That will be an experience never to forget!

Terra-Nova: Hot and flustered from LA, I'll be speaking at this fun-looking function in Adelaide (guest-starring Aron Eisenberg from DS9) on August 23.

At some point early September there will also be an Australian launch of The Force Unleashed. Stay tuned for more info on that one.

Lastly, Malcolm Walker and I had a lovely chat at Blackwood Library Thursday night, but unless you have a time machine that knowledge won't do you any good. :-)

ETA: There was also the massive Meet the Writers Festival on Wednesday and a chat via eTeachers with kids all over SA last week. Fantastic to see so many kids digging books. Wish they'd had this kind of thing when I was a kid!

"but unless you have a time machine..."

I do have a time machine, it wakes me up every morning.

I wish I had one that would wake me up a day younger.
