Where's Seanan? The Emerald City Comic-con Edition!

Hello, happy people! It's time for Emerald City Comic-con, Seattle's largest gathering of pop culture nerds in one building! Like, if the alien invasion comes this weekend, we're screwed. Anyway, if your boots are on the ground in Seattle, and you want to know where to find me, have I got the schedule for you.

Thursday.

I have no official programming! Hooray! So I will be wandering the show floor, seeing people, spending money, and remembering that I am a fan first, and an unstoppable alien terror second.

Friday.

The Orbit Books Panel. 2:45 PM, Room W603. Come join me and a host of other Orbit authors as we talk about the company, our works, and our plans for the future. Also whether harvesting the humans of Earth for food is really a sustainable invasion practice.

Saturday.

Signing at University Books. 3:00 PM, Booth 5100. Come get things signed! I like signing things.

Sunday.

Crafting Characters in Science Fiction and Fantasy. 12:00 PM, Room W603. A good story is nothing without great characters, and this couldn’t be truer when it comes to the tales woven in science fiction and fantasy books. Come and hear authors Peter Orullian (Trial of Intentions), Seanan McGuire (October Daye, InCryptid), Patrick Rothfuss (The Kingkiller Chronicles), Peter Brett (The Demon Cycle), and Bob Proehl (A Hundred Thousand Worlds) talk about what goes into creating a great literary character. Moderated by Paul Constant of the Seattle Review of Books. Y'all, I am super excited about this: Bob Proehl's A Hundred Thousand Worlds is one of the best books I've read so far in 2016.

Signing. 1:15 PM, Autographing Table 29. We'll sign things!

Hope to see you at the con!

Yay! Have an awesome time at the con!

Bob Proehl's A Hundred Thousand Worlds is one of the best books I've read so far in 2016

So noted, and now on my to-read list for purchase when it is released to the rest of us mere mortals. Thanks for the rec!

I'm now even happier that I am stringy and full of toxins!

YAY! I will be in the same physical region as my favorite author for the first time ever! *excited* :)

Oops; grad school swallowed my brain and I never saw this! I did meet you, I was the girl in the charmander hat, accompanied by Spider Jerusalem! Thanks again for letting me take a picture with you, it really made my day. :)

Hi! I talked to you today at the con by Caitlin's table. I can stop by your signing on Saturday to pick up the posters if that will work well for you.

Ahhh, I'm sorry, can I change my mind? I just realized the Nathan Fillion panel is at 3 tomorrow. I can come by on Sunday for your signing!

Yes, absolutely. See you tomorrow!
