I’ve got some travel coming up, in which I’ll be on panels or giving readings and talks at two different (very different) conferences!

First up: Readercon in Burlington, Mass. I’ll be doing a reading on Friday, and then three panels on Saturday. After that, I’ll be heading to the Chicago area to give a talk on writing science fiction at Fermilab, specifically about how I wrote my story for the Proxima Kosmos project. I suspect more of my readers will be at the former conference than the latter, but either way if you’re there come say hi!
