I'll be attending my first World Fantasy Con this year, probably not on program. Nonetheless, it should be a great time. October 28-31, and also in Columbus, Ohio.
Looking far ahead, I'm likely to attend the 2011 Pennwriters Conference, which is in Pittsburgh, May 13-15. If I do attend, the probable topic of my traditional talk will be Two Terribly Important Naval Battles of the Middle Ages You've Probably Never Heard of.
