The 49th iteration of Bubonicon, New Mexico’s science fiction and fantasy convention, is in just a few short weeks. C. J. Cherryh and Sherwood Smith are guests of honor, Ursula Vernon is toastmistress, and Elizabeth Leggett is our artist guest of honor. Back in time is this year’s theme.

The festivities are August 25, 26, and 27 at Albuquerque’s Marriott Uptown.

There are a number of panels and events scattered throughout the weekend, so if you are local, be sure to check out the programming guide.

On Friday, you can find me participating in the following:

Panel # 4 – FACTS BEHIND THE FANTASY: RESEARCH IMPACT

Panel # 7 – REBEL SCUM: OPPOSING THE EMPIRE

Saturday, we’ll be talking about the science in science fiction.

Panel # 12 – HEY, YOU GOT YOUR SCIENCE IN MY FICTION
