Where Is Gemma?

[handful_ofdust]

Here's where (and when) I'll be at this weekend's Ad Astra Convention, for those who might be interested--

Friday, 9:00 PM, Ballroom East: "The Experience of Blogging", with Suzanne Church.
Saturday, 11:00 AM, Salon 443: Reading. I'll probably be doing a selection from "When I'm Armoring My Belly", "Imaginary Beauties" and "Fin de Siecle", aka Chapter One of Last Things.
3:00 PM, Ballroom West: "Collaboration", with Stephen J. Barringer (strangely!).
6:00 PM, Gallery Centre: "Death Becomes Them" (I have absolutely no idea what this is about, so it should be interesting).
8:00 PM, Salon 443: "Horror: How Far Is Too Far?" (aaah, the eternal question).
Sunday, 10:00 AM, Refelections: "What's New in SF, Fantasy and Horror?"
1:00 PM, Ballroom Centre: "The Rise of Paranormal Romance".

Yes, I'll be bringing copies of Words Written Backwards, the poetry, the collections. Yes, I'll sell them to you if you want them. Yes, I'll sign them, too. Yes, Cal will be there on Saturday and Sunday, so if you're allergic to little Autistic boys, avoid me. Yes, he will sometimes be with his father. Yes, I'll be drinking. Yes, if you once wrote dismissive crap about me on the Internet, I don't want to see you anywhere near me. Yes, I'd love to see you otherwise, so everybody else, feel free to come on down. Thanks!

PRZed and I are going to be there Saturday, but I don't think we're going to the any of the same panels you are. I saw you had a reading, but I'll be in a panel at the time. 8-(

Since we only met for 2 minutes at Word on the Street last year, I doubt we'll recognize each other, but if you see a short, middle-aged woman desperately in need of a haircut, that'll be me.

Sounds like a cool event. Too bad I live some where not-cool.

In other news, I found some of your books at Chapters, and I can use gift cards online! W00t! So, While, I can't get Words Written Backwards, I can get the earlier books.

Or do you not recommend that venue?

I absolutely recommend that venue! The idea that you can find them at Chapters makes me ridiculously happy.;) But seriously, if you want a copy of Words..., just ask. We can work something out.
