One of several panels, workshops and readings I had at Norwescon this year, this was probably the most enjoyable–a generally thoughtful audience combined with some really intriguing subject matter. Brent Kellmer and I spent the better part of an hour working through possible reasons for the dominance of what has for much too long been considered “default” fantasy, revolving around largely white and Western cultures, and how (despite the strength of that “default”) fantasy has begun to turn in new, more diverse and more productive directions.

Norwescon
This is my second time at Norwescon, though I’ve been in the Pacific Northwest many times. Seems to be a lot of rain in the forecast (shockingly 😉 ), but the inside activities should be plenty bright for everyone. I’ve got three panels, a reading, a signing and two writing workshops where I critique manuscripts […]

Hi all, It’s officially spring break (because as all of us living in the Northeast would cheerfully acknowledge, it’s obviously springtime weather!

Hi all, Well, it’s official: Icarus: The Graphic Novel has launched on Kickstarter, and I’m about as excited and nervous as I’ve ever been about anything. When you have the chance to look at some of the art Matt has already done, I think you’ll agree that his work is really astonishing. I […]

Hi all, It’s been much too long since I last updated folks with news on me, but unfortunately (and fortunately) life often intrudes. But there’s been a lot of great stuff (and a few curveballs) over the past couple of months, and I wanted to get everyone up to speed now: 1. My writing […]

Hi all, As usual these days, I’m swamped with writing, school, and life (all good things to be swamped with, I suppose), but I wanted to take a moment to quickly update everyone on what’s going on with me. First, I’ve finally managed to get my panels from Gen Con and Worldcon edited and […]
