UPDATE: Due to illness sudden (not serious, but sudden and dreadfully inconvenient) I am unable to attend Worldcon. Apologies to everyone I'd planned to meet up with or appear on panels with. This is the first time that I've had to pull out of anything at last minute, and it's a biggie. :-(

PS. Au Contraire was terrific, and is in no way to blame!


Here's my Worldcon schedule. In addition, I'm presenting at the Hugos, going to at least one other launch, and even hosting a party (there's probably going to be a bash in the SFWA suite after the Voyager party on Friday; more on that later). I'll also be in and out of the SFWA suite, so stop by and say hello. It'll be great to see you there!

THURSDAY
5:00 - Film, TV and spec fic (I arrive late Thursday, so I'm a maybe for this one)
(Note: I'm down for a kaffeeklatsche at 3:00 but won't have landed yet. Sorry!)

FRIDAY
3:00 - What is SFWA?
4:00 - Macabre launch & reading
5:00 - What can the mystery teach science fiction?

SATURDAY
10:00 - Building a bigger galaxy
2:00 - Kim Stanley Robinson interview
3.00 - Deborah Kalin Shadow Bound launch

SUNDAY
12:00 - Classic Australian SF
1:00 - Q&A: Writing YA speculative fiction
4:00 - Partners in crime: How to collaborate
5:00 - Objects in space (this clashes with the Hugo pre-event, so I'm a maybe here too) 

MONDAY
11:00 - Reading
12:00 - Signing;
2:00 - Shared universes and united visions

Of course, prior to all this I'll be in New Zealand as GOH of Au Contraire. Will post that program soon. Exciting times!

First, SF Signal's Mind Meld recently posed this question--

"Q: How do you think media tie-in novels affect the genre of sf/f?"

--to a wide bunch of authors, including (but not remotely limited to) Chris Roberson, Walter John Williams, Kevin J Anderson, and David Gerrold. If you scroll down past my answer, you'll find more good points on the topic than I can take in all at once. I expect to see the last one on a t-shirt before long.

ETA: More on tie-ins at Jonathan Strahan's blog, here.

The second thing is that I'm taking an all-weekend workshop called "Dismantling Science Fiction" at the Victorian Writers' Centre across the first weekend in October. Spots are limited, and they're filling fast. If you've ever wanted to pick my brains for two whole days straight, then this is your chance. It will be intensive, and it will be hands-on. As the blurb says: "Expect the unexpected. BYO imagination!"
