Honestly, I'm going to spend most of my time working the Queen of Swords Press table just outside the Dealer's Room in the Maker's Mart. But I have fabulous blue and purple tinted hair now and a new dress AND we have just put out a new book, so come see me!

Otherwise, Michael Merriam is on a crap ton of programming and I'm on a few things as well:

10:00am Saturday
Weird Western/Steampunk Spy Thrillers and Mysteries
The Library
(Eagle’s Nest)
The genre of Steampunk and Weird Westerns would seem to lend themselves to spies and detectives. Letâ s talk about some of our favorite media in the genre....Michael Merriam, mod., Catherine Lundoff, Darlene Polsean
03:00pm Saturday
LGBTQ+ Fiction and Media - What's New and What's Next?
The Library
(Eagle’s Nest)
A panel discussion about what shows and books have great queer rep and are worth tracking down to enjoy....Catherine Lundoff, mod., David Lenander, C. M. Alongi



01:00pm Sunday
Good Things in Small Packages - Small Press & Indie Publishing in the Here & Now
The Library
(Eagle’s Nest)
Panel discussion of small press publishing benefits and obstacles, where we see things going in the near future, what we'd like to see more of and less of....Catherine Lundoff, mod., Kathryn Sullivan

Looking forward to it!

Somewhat improbably, seeing as I no longer drink beer or other alcohol and haven't for a number of years now, I'm participating in the first local Books and Beer Pop-up Bookstore at Lake Monster Brewing in St. Paul on 5/11 (tomorrow night or tonight, depending on when you read this), from 5-9. There will be 25 participating authors and one local indie bookstore, Moon Palace Books, representing a bunch of different genres. It should be fun. C'mon down and say hi. I'll be nursing a few sips of beer along with about a gallon of water. :-)
