My programming for Odysseycon

As you can see, it's much lighter so I hope to hang around the bar more, perhaps.

Sunday:
Anthologies - The Art of Compilation. 10am-11am. Connaught. What
makes a good anthology? How do you set about collecting and editing
stories to build a harmonious collection? Clare Boothby (mod), Gary
Couzens, Ellen Datlow, Colin Harvey and Ian Whates.

Monday:
Novels, a Product of Their Time. 12pm-1pm. Room 41. Each novel is a
story for its time. Many excellent SF stories are of no interest at all to the
next generation, while others seem to stay perennially popular.
Technology, science, social attitudes and even writing styles change over
time. Which factors are most likely to make an old book popular or
unpopular with new readers? What should new novels reflect? Ellen
Datlow (mod), Caroline Mullan, Graham Sleight and Jetse de Vries.

British Fantasy Award (very) long list

Interested to see that three of my anthos made the long list (alas, poor Lovecraft didn't) but no stories from my one original antho that made it --Poe-- are on the long list

British Fantasy Awards 2010: the Longlist

Author Peter Watts Found Guilty

Peter Watts has been found guilty of "assaulting, resisting and obstructing a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer" and will face sentencing of up to two years in prison, April 26th.

Peter is amazingly gracious to all those involved in his trial, including the prosecutor, judge, jury, and even some of the guards. See his blog post Guilty

Added 3/21: A VERY important follow up by Peter is DVD Extras and Director Commentary
…In Seven Parts .
