Good news, everyone! I'll be moderating a panel on "Where to Find Great Flash Fiction Online" this Saturday, October 18th, at 12:30PM at the Fort Vancouver Community Library. This is part of the first-ever Story Con, a Portland-area event started by Erik Wecks which aims to help readers "find their next great book."I managed to talk four other genre writers into doing the panel with me:

• Folly Blaine, one of my Clarion West classmates and also an accomplished audiobook/podcast narrator;
• Mark Niemann-Ross, who's had several stories published in Analog and also manages the SFWA Pacific Northwest Reading Series (more on that later);
• Rhiannon Rasmussen-Silverstein, another of my Clarion West classmates and also a talented illustrator; and
• Simone Cooper, who runs AmberCon Northwest when she's not working on her alternate world suspense novel.

We're a pretty diverse bunch, and I expect the conversation to meander quite a bit. (In fact, I'll be disappointed if it doesn't.) I can promise it won't be boring in any case.If you're in the Portland area tomorrow, come check us out!
