Austin's longest running literary fantasy and science fiction convention, ArmadilloCon (http://armadillocon.org/d41/), is celebrating it's 41st year next week! I'm thrilled to be participating this year in the programming and will be speaking on a variety of panels throughout the weekend. My schedule is as follows:
