NORWESCON!!!!! My Schedule

I'll be attending NORWESCON in Seattle, WA, this weekend, and I figured I should probably post my schedule. I was waiting because there was a chance I'd be added to additional panels, but I haven't heard anything yet. If I do get on more paneling, I'll let everyone know.

I will have copies of my books (all of them) INCLUDING a few copies of the new mass market paperback of Well of Sorrows for sale. Quantities are limited. Just find me and we can make the exchange (books for money). All of the mass markets are $8, the trades with my short stories are $12, and the hardcovers are $10. Probably the best option is to catch me at the autographing, although you risk me running out of the books I brought with me before then.

Here's what I've got on the schedule so far:

Saturday, 9am Has the Future Arrived? The E-Book and the Publishing Industry

After years of slowly growing in popularity and profile, the e-book is now a significant medium for the distribution and sale of science fiction and fantasy. As with all new media, the e-book brings its own special set of challenges. How can publishers adjust to selling their books online rather than through physical distribution? How has the relationship changed now that readers, authors and publishers can connect more directly online? Where does this leave our local bookstore?
