Millennicon Schedule
I’m thrilled to be heading over to Ohio this weekend to be a Guest of Honor at Millennicon. Here’s the schedule, just in case you want to come say hello or make sure you know how to avoid me all weekend.
Friday
- 6 pm, MR 1210, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (In which the convention throws a birthday party for my son, because they are AWESOME!!!)
- 7 pm, Harrison, Opening Ceremonies
- 8 pm, Con Suite, GOH reception
Saturday
- 10 am, Harrison, GOH Reading
- 2 pm, Hotel Lobby, GOH Autographs
- 3 pm, McKinley, There are No Dumb Questions (Moderator)
Sunday
- 10 am, McKinley, Fan Fiction and “Real” Writing
- Noon, Hotel Lobby, GOH Autographs
- 2 pm, Harrison, GOH Q&A
- 3 pm, Harrison, Closing Ceremonies
Tom Smith will be there as Filk Guest of Honor, which should make my wife happy. She tolerates me, but she’d much rather hang out at one of Tom’s concerts 😉
There are a lot of great people at this one, some of whom I haven’t seen in a while, so I’m expecting this to be a lot of fun.

Hey Jim,
Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this, but I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time, but I’ve never read your work. I’m a big fan of all things fantasy, as well as your insightful blog posts, so what book would you recommend as a starting point? =)
Also, fellow insulin dependant diabetic waves hi. **Hi!**

Okay, that was slightly disconcerting. I’m using “Blue” as a character name in the book I’m working on right now…
Anyway, hi! 🙂
Where to start depends on what you’re into. I’d suggest one of the following:
Goblin Quest if you’re into fantasy and D&D and humor.
The Stepsister Scheme if you want kick-ass fairy tale heroines.
Libriomancer if you want a present-day fantasy full of geeky SF/F references.
There are links to the first chapter of all of my books at http://www.jimchines.com/ There’s also some free fiction linked in the left sidebar, which would let you get a sense of whether the goblins are to your taste.

I was hoping that you would also be on the Harrassment Policies panel but, since it is opposite the GOH reception, …

Yeah, if I could be in two places at once, I’d love to be on that one.

It seems odd that the concom scheduled the Harrassment Policy panel during the GOH reception, since the GOH is noted for his support of publicizing these policies. Why would Jim NOT be on that panel, since he IS the Pro from Dover.
We will have to ask tomorrow, eh?
