This year’s World Science Fiction Convention is being held in my hometown of Seattle, and the full programming schedule is now available on the con website, here.

Earlier this summer there was some controversy when it was revealed that the convention’s organizers had used ChatGPT to help screen prospective panelists. The good news is, I passed with flying colors. My list of events is as follows:

Thursday, Aug. 14, 1:30 PM, Room 345-346 — Reanimate This! — A panel about contemporary reinterpretations of Lovecraft and the Cthulhu Mythos, featuring me, Evan J. Peterson, Nelly Geraldine Garcia-Rosas, Sadie Hartmann, and Usman T. Malik.

Thursday, Aug. 14, 3 PM, Room 435-436 — Realism as It Relates to Fear — A panel about the use and importance of realism in horror stories, featuring me, Gordon B. White, Clay Vermulm, MJ Kuhn, Nicholas Binge, and Usman T. Malik

Thursday, Aug. 14, 6-7 PM, Garden Lounge (3F) — An autograph session featuring me and ten other authors.

Saturday, Aug. 16, 1:30 PM, Room 433-434 — Your Book Became a Movie/Show. How Did It Go? — Panel about the joys of having your work adapted, featuring me, Luke Elliott, Caitlin Rozakis, Holly Black, Nicholas Binge, and Leigh Bardugo.

Saturday, Aug. 16, 3-4 PM, Dealer’s Room/The Book Bin — Signing books at the booth of Salem, Oregon’s The Book Bin.

I hope to see you there!
