World Fantasy Con!!!

[jpskewedthrone]

We're edging up on the World Fantasy Convention in Columbus, OH, and I figured I'd do a general call-out to see if anyone here is going to the con. I'll be there, with a reading scheduled for Friday at 1:30pm. If you're going, and plan on attending the reading, weigh in here on what you might want me to read. Here are some of the options:

1. Something from WELL OF SORROWS (kind of old, even though its my most recent release)

2. Something from the just handed in sequel LEAVES OF FLAME

3. The short story "Mastihooba" from CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE URBAN KIND

4. The short story "Tears of Blood" from BEAUTY HAS HER WAY (which should be out shortly)

5. The short story "An Alewife in Kish" from AFTER HOURS: TALES FROM THE UR-BAR (coming out March 2011)

And I think that's it. In any case, I hope to see some of you at the con!

Anita and I will be there....

Hope to see you somewhere at the con then (at the reading or elsewhere)!

I'll try to make your reading ;o) I'm voting for 4

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

That's the selection I'll probably read from. Hope to see you at some point, even if you can't make the reading!

[j-cheney.livejournal.com]

No doubt ;o)

I will be at WFC and will try to make your reading. No. 5 sounds like fun.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a toss up between #4 and #5. Perhaps I'll read a little from both. *grin* Hope to see you there, even if it isn't at the reading!

Surprise 'em all and read a story that someone else wrote that significantly impacted you.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

That could be fun.

When I ran programming for Worldcon several years ago, that was one of the things I scheduled. I had major authors do a reading from someone else's work to try to give better visibility to the works of either mid-list/beginning authors or authors who were no longer around to read their own work.

I'll be there!

I vote for #4.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Great! Hope to see you at some point! I think it will be either #4 or #5, perhaps a little something from both.

Have fun at WFC, Josh!

Alas, there's money issues, or I'd try to make the drive up I-71.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Money is always an issue. I'll have a drink for you.

[ckastens.livejournal.com]

See you there! And it would be cool to hear something coming out.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Definitely find me at some point, even if not at the reading. I'll likely read one of the upcoming short stories, or at least a snippet of one or more of them.

[steve-buchheit.livejournal.com]

Will be at the con, haven't tied down my arrival schedule yet. So hopefully will see you sometime during the weekend.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

Definitely try to find me at some point. If not the reading, perhaps at the autographing that night.

[barbarienne.livejournal.com]

I'll be at the con, though I dunno what I'll be doing. I'll certainly try to make it to your reading, though!

I always like hearing something newer, so I vote #4 or #5.

[jpsorrow.livejournal.com]

That seems to be the prevailing thought: #4 or #5. Hope to see you there at some point!

I'll be there!
