CalendarComing Up: Arisia '08, SF convention, January 18-21, 2008, Cambridge MA. There is a lot good to say about Arisia, but go to their site and have them tell you. Below is my panel schedule in case you want to witness this chapter of the saga: Media Science on the Big Screen Movies are rife with faulty science. Who gets it right? Who gets it hilariously wrong? Is it ever reasonable to gloss over science for the purpose of plot? Does too much science get in the way of plot? Literature SF Mysteries: Laughs, Blood, & Technomurder Crimes picked apart, stabbed, strangled, and otherwise discussed by perpetrators of the subgenre science fiction mysteries. Literature The Appeal of Evil Explore the appeal of Drusilla, delve into the dungeons of Slytherin . Why is Maleficent so magnificent? Why did we want more of snarky Spike? Evil is supposed to be dark and forbidding. Why is it so damned hot? Literature Underground! Discussion of the underground as a setting for stories. Who and what's underground -- tunnels, abandoned buildings, subways, homeless populations, raves, etc. Historic abandoned cities beneath the modern ones. Literature Writers' Workshops & Critique Groups For more information, check Arisia's site. ______________________________________ |
This is a picture I took a few years ago of a pigeon nesting among the saints on the Cathedral of St. Peter in Exeter, Devon UK. It was the inspiration for the Royal Pigeon Air Force which makes its first appearance in my story "Murder In Parliament Street" in a future issue of Analog. Notes on the Jaggers/Shad Page. |
