I honestly don't recall if I mentioned here that at 2pm on Saturday, April 2nd, I'll be signing at the amazing horror bookstore in Burbank, CA run by Del and Sue Howison: Dark Delicacies, 3512 W Magnolia Blvd, (818) 556-6660

I'll be signing TEETH: Vampire Tales and whatever else they --or you--want me to. And I'll be signing with the talented Nancy Holder, who will be signing her new novel THE SCREAMING SEASON.

My tentative schedule for Ad Astra--if something changes I'll fix it (I'll be getting the "official official" one tomorrow)

Here's what I'll be doing April 8-10th:

Opening Ceremonies Friday 7pm

Horror in Unexpected Places--Day/Time: Fri 8 pm
Horror can jump out at us from behind works where we may not expect to find it. Panelists present their favourite scary moments from works not traditionally classified as horror.

Panelists: Ellen Datlow, Craig Davidson, Gemma Files, Robert Shearman, Rio Youers

What is Horror? Day/Time: Sat 10 am
How do we define horror? Does horror work differently depending upon the medium, such as film vs. literary fiction? Is horror about more than just frightening or grossing out the audience, and should it be?

Panelists: Ellen Datlow, Don Hutchison, Stephen Jones, Michael Kelly, Rio Youers

Editing Anthologies Day/Time: Sat noon
How do you select materials for an original anthology? How do you make individual works into one cohesive book?
Panelists: Kathryn Cramer, Ellen Datlow, Don Hutchison, Stephen Jones, Caro Soles

Mass Autographing 3:30-5:30 pm Saturday

kaffeeklatch 11am Sunday

GOH Hour 1pm Don Hutchison and Stephen Jones

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.

I will also be doing the "walk with the stars," which I mentioned previously, plus an autographing and I hope, a kaffeeklatsch.

...it's not the strolling, mind you. It's the getting up EARLY at a convention. Woe is me...anyone come along with me...in lovely Denver.

Strolling With The Stars
Stu Segal

To encourage a healthier, more active environment at Denvention 3 we are scheduling a 9AM walk every morning. We'll leave from under the Big Blue Bear at the Colorado Convention Center, and we'll stroll for a leisurely mile through downtown Denver. Each day's walk will be led by a Famous AuthorTM, Artist, Editor or Scientist who will not only lead the walk but will interact with the participants. Join luminaries like Frank Wu, David Brin, Jay Lake, Ellen Datlow, John Picacio, Lou Anders, Paul Cornell, Scott Edelman, Mary Robinette Kowal and Stephen H. Segal for a gentle, friendly stroll to get the day started on an upbeat note.
