I will be attending Readercon 28!

I am pleased to announce another appearance this summer. The lovely folks at Readercon in Boston, MA have invited me to be on programming! My hotel is booked, as is my travel there, so this shall be my first (and hopefully not my last) time attending this convention.

Readercon 28 will be July 13-16, 2017, at the Quincy Marriott, and LOOK AT THOSE GUESTS OF HONOR: Naomi Novik and Nnedi Okorafor!!! I won't know my panel/reading schedule until later, but I thought I'd give y'all a heads up so you can plan accordingly. 

WOO HOO, I'M COMING BACK TO BOSTON.

San Francisco, come watch me celebrate RIVER OF TEETH

I'm very pleased to finally be able to share with you a secret plan I made with my friend Sarah Gailey: I will be making a special appearance at the launch party for her novella, River of Teeth, which will take place at 6pm on May 19th at Borderlands Books in San Francisco! You can find more info about the party and RSVP on the Facebook event page. This is NOT a Mark Does Stuff event; however, I am going to be doing an unspoiled live-reading from River of Teeth. Sarah has forbade me from reading anything of the chapter I'm reading at the event, so you can watch me be unprepared for the hippo-stravaganza that is River of Teeth. This will likely be my only appearance of any sort in the Bay Area this year, so come say hello and support my friend Sarah!

I'll be Guest of Honor at HELIOsphere in 2018!

Since the news is out, I'm happy to share that I am a guest of honor at HELIOsphere in Tarrytown, NY next year! The convention takes place from March 9 - 11, 2018, and is a mere 37-minute train ride from Grand Central Station. Thus, if you're NYC-based, you should come hang out with us! I'm thrilled and honored that HELIOsphere has invited me and done so alongside Kameron Hurley and Cecilia Tan. (Seriously, I'm geeking out.) Hope to see you next year!
