Bubonicon Schedule

So here’s my schedule for Bubonicon, Albuquerque’s finest convention.   For a gathering named after the Black Death, it’s had a surprisingly long life span, and is currently in its 43rd year.

I’ve been to most of them, God help me.

This convention will have more writers than you can shake a stick at, and I’m betting you can shake a stick at a lot of writers.  GoH will be Stephen Leigh/S.L. Farrell, toastmaster Ian Tregillis, and artist guest John Picacio.

Wandering the halls of the convention you might also find Daniel Abraham, Mario Acevedo, Richard Berthold, David Boop, Stephen Boucher, Ben Bova, Serge Broom, Adam Jarmon Brown, Craig A. Butler, Aaron Campbell, Peri Charlifu, Suzy M. Charnas, Yvonne Coats, James S.A. Corey, Doranna Durgin, Ty Franck, Diana Gabaldon, Gordon Garb, Janice Gelb, Steven Gould, Sally Gwylan, M.L.N. Hanover, Betsy James, Darynda Jones, Leonid Korogodski, Susan Krinard, Andy Kuhn, UNM Assistant Professor Maria D. Lane, Jane Lindskold, Bradford Lyau, George RR Martin, Victor Milan, John Jos. Miller, Pati Nagle, Charles & Tauni Orndorff, Scott S. Phillips, John Maddox Roberts, Joan S. Saberhagen, Debbie Lynn Smith, Melinda Snodgrass, Jan & S.M. Stirling, David Lee Summers, Sam Sykes, Carrie Vaughn, Walter Jon Williams, Connie Willis…

(For your convenience, I have highlighted the writers who are wildly more popular than me, so you can mob them as befits their status.)
