Gen Con 2013 Schedule

Gen Con Indy 2012 – August 15-18

Gen Con is only two weeks away and I realized that I hadn't posted my schedule yet. So I figured I'd do it now before I start my mad scramble to get everything ready.

Once again I'm part of the Writer’s Symposium panels!  I'm on two Symposium panels and am also doing my first ever reading.

SEM1341204 – Medieval Foodways

SEM1341208 – Cook Like a Dwarf, Eat Like a Halfling  
How do you write a cookbook for a culture that never existed but everyone knows? The authors of "A Dwarven Cookbook" talk about the origins of the recipes in their cookbooks.

The real surprise for me is the amount of interest in the Cookbook seminar.  There have been 96 people who already have tickets. (Yikes!)  Looks like it's going to be a busy con for me this year.
