I’m heading out to San Diego for Comic-Con International next week, and I have a good slate of appearances set up. Here’s where you can find me at the show:
Friday, July 20
- 11 AM: Signing at the Simon & Schuster booth (#1128). They should have copies of my Halo novels on sale, including Halo: Bad Blood. I’ve only signed a handful of these so far, so come on by and be the first on your block to snag one.
- 2 PM: International Association of Media Tie-In Writers: Scribe Awards. Max Allan Collins (Mike Hammer) hosts this year’s Scribe Awards for excellence in tie-in writing. Nominees/panelists Michael Black (The Executioner), David Boop (Predator), Matt Forbeck (Halo), Christie Golden (Star Wars), Jonathan Maberry (Planet of the Apes), and Sarah Stegall (Deadworld) will present a lively look at one of the most popular and yet underappreciated branches of the writing trade.
Saturday, July 21
- 2 PM: Signing at the Candlewick Press booth (#5532). They’ll have some advance reader copies of Endless Quest: Escape the Underdark for me to sign, and they should have copies of Dungeonlogy for sale as well.
Sunday, July 22
- 11 AM: An Author’s Guide to D&D. Many SFF authors writing today grew up playing Dungeons & Dragons. The game is experiencing a resurgence today. Hear some of today’s most popular authors of science fiction and fantasy talk about how the classic game of the imagination inspired their own writing. Dungeon master Naomi Novik (Spinning Silver) guides authors Lila Bowen/Delilah Dawson (Treason of Hawks, Kill the Farm Boy), Kevin Hearne (Kill the Farm Boy), Matt Forbeck (Dungeons & Dragons: Endless Quest series), R. A. Salvatore (Timeless, Child of a Mad God), Raymond E. Feist (King of Ashes), and Kyle Newman (Dungeons & Dragons Art and Arcana).
- 12:30 PM: Signing in the Sails Pavilion. After the panel, my fellow panelists and I will make our way to the Sails Pavilion where the rest of us will watch Bob Salvatore and Raymond Feist sign books! (I joke! But not really…) Mysterious Galaxy will be on hand to sell copies of all sorts of things, including Dungeonology, and Candlewick may also have more Escape the Underdark ARCs on hand too.
The rest of the time, I’ll be wandering around the show with some of my kids, having meetings, and soaking in the California sun. I hope to see you there!
