So this will be my first time at America’s oldest SF convention, Philcon. I’m excited to be a part of it. Here’s my schedule, so, if you’re attending, please come say hi, and maybe pick up a copy of Somewhere in the Middle of Eternity, or check out the wonderful new Bob Keck cover for Peace Lord of the Red Planet.

Sat 3:00 PM in Plaza II (Two) (1 hour)
NEW LIFE AND NEW CIVILIZATIONS: EXPLORING STAR TREK COMICS [Panelists: Jim Beard (mod), Joseph Berenato, Rich Handley, Steve
Wilson]

Star Trek comics have spanned almost the entire length of the
franchise. Panelists, including the contributors of the latest
comic, will look at the rich history of Star Trek in the four-color
world

Sat 5:00 PM in Plaza IV (Four) (1 hour)
THE HEINLEIN BIOGRAPHY — OR IS IT HAGIOGRAPHY?

[Panelists: Michael Swanwick (mod), Jack Hillman, Tom Purdom, Steve
Wilson]

William Patterson’s two-volume authorized bio of Robert A. Heinlein
is surely one of the most important works of SF scholarship in
recent years. Our panelists will discuss its strengths and
limitations and what it tells us about one of the 20th century’s
great figures

Sat 6:00 PM in Plaza III (Three) (1 hour)
IS FANDOM STILL PRODUCING THE NEXT GENERATION OF WRITERS?

[Panelists: Elektra Hammond (mod), Anastasia Klimchynskaya, Victoria
Janssen, Steve Wilson]

There was a time when virtually all of the hot new writers (like
Asimov, Bradbury, Pohl and Kornbluth) came up through the ranks of
organized fandom.  This seems to be less true today. Is that the
case?  Would it be a bad thing or just a sign of the field
broadening its appeal

Sun 1:00 PM in Autograph Table (1 hour)
