Herewith is my schedule for Windycon, now with rooms* and descriptions.
Cowpunk Friday 16:00 Lilac BD
Cowpunk: Merging Science Fiction and the Old West
Westworld, Firefly, Straight Outta Deadwood. There are many ways to combine science fiction with the sensibilities of the American West. What is it about the frontier lifestyle that continues to inspire creators working in settings far removed from the mesas, ranches, and canyons explored by Zane Grey and Louis L’Amour?
Kelly Robson (M), Chris Gerrib, Neal Litherland, Malda Marlys
Writers Workshop Saturday 9:00 to 11:00 Boardroom
Closed event, listed for my convenience
Reading Saturday 13:00 Boardroom
I will be reading from my new novel, One of Our Spaceships is Missing.
Regional SF Cons Saturday 17:00 Lilac AC

Panelists discuss the development of regional SF cons. How do they differ and which ones should you consider attending?

Star Trek: The Current Generation Saturday 21:00 Lilac AC
Star Trek: The Current Generation
We’re living in a golden age of Trek, with Picard, Lower Decks, Strange New Worlds, Prodigy, and, arguably, The Orville. What has allowed for the massive production of Trek and Trek-related shows, how long might they continue, and what new worlds can the franchise seek out?
Terrence Miltner (M), Chris Gerrib, Paul Hahn, David Hirsch
Vampires: Why Do We Still Love Them Saturday 22:00 Lilac AC
Vampires: Why Do We Still Love Them?
Vampire fiction continues to evolve. Modern stories have moved far beyond Dracula or Saint Germain, and even sparkles. What is the eternal fascination with vampires in all their forms?
