geekyThursday, July 12th.
1:15 PM, Room 6A: Not with a Bang, with a Bite.
It's the obligate zombie panel! Because really, that's what I do. Join me-as-Mira, along with Jeyn Roberts (Dark Inside), Michael Spradlin (Blood Riders), Diana Rowland (Even White Trash Zombies Get the Blues), Stephen Blackmoore (City of the Lost), Dana Fredsti (Plague Town), Susan Dennard (Something Strange and Deadly), and Max Brooks (World War Z). Let's see if Max and I can get into another argument about his virology, shall we? Also, you will love Stephen. He's the bomb. The panel will be immediately followed by an autographing session, wherein I will sign whatever you bring me.
Friday, July 13th.
5:00 PM, Booth 1116: Mira Grant signing.
Nothing says "Friday the 13th in San Diego" like Mira Grant signing at the Orbit booth! Come for signatures, cool swag, and the chance to have me beam at you like a lunatic while I try to drink enough Diet Dr Pepper to put me in an early grave. It'll be fun!
Saturday, July 14th.
10:30 AM, Room 5AB: Hot Town: Faeries in the City.
Mmmm, 10:30 AM panel on Saturday. On the plus side, you know you'll be able to get a seat. On the double-plus side, you know none of us will be awake enough to be filtering a damn thing that comes out of our mouths. Come for the urban fantasy, stay for the raw humor value of me and Jeff Lewis calling each other cockwaffles. Join me-as-Seanan, along with Benjamin Tate (Leaves of Flame), Kevin Hearne (The Iron Druid Chronicles), Kat Richardson (Seawitch), Jennifer Bosworth (Struck), Anton Strout (Simon Canderous series), Jeanne Stein (Anna Strong Vampire Novels), J.F. Lewis (Void City books), and S. G. Browne (Lucky Bastard). The panel will be immediately followed by an autographing session, wherein Jeff and I will begin chewing on Kat.
Sunday, July 15th.
12:00 PM, Room 32AB: Browncoat reading.
Mira Grant joins the San Diego Browncoats for a reading from "San Diego 2014," and to answer any questions you might have. And yes, we know this is up against Buffy. Stupid late schedule changes.
1:00 PM, Booth A-07: Mira Grant signing.
And then it's off to the Browncoats booth for a signing! Hooray for signings!
...and that is all my official business for the weekend. Unofficial business will include shopping, panels, ice cream, Amy-hugs, Amber-hugs, Sunil-hugs, Kaja-hugs...hugging is going to be a key part of this convention.
Onward, to San Diego!

And this makes for a longer and more fangirly comment, but: I don't know what magic you worked with that trilogy, but somehow halfway through Blackout I went from "I really enjoy these books and am glad to finally read the third" to "these are my favorite books from at least the last several years and now I find myself telling everyone I know about them and ordering an extra copy of Feed to have on hand in case two people need to borrow it at once". (Hence the sudden delurking at you here and on Twitter even though I've been reading your LJ for quite a while.)
So again, thank you. It's really lovely to suddenly be so attached to a story for the first time in ages.

I am so very glad you liked the Newsflesh books. Writing them has truly changed my life, for the better.

likelove a good excuse to try to get to Toronto... (It's a wonderful city, although November isn't its finest hour. I hope you'll have a chance to wander around and see some of it, especially if you haven't been before.)
