“Powerful Women in Fantasy and Science Fiction” and “Geeks Unite: SFF Conventions in Ohio” both promise to be excellent panels with my co-panelists DL Wainright, Marie Vibbert, and Ethan Avery.
I have a table and a bunch of copies of Rights of Use ready for homes, plus rumors of Kaffeeklatches, where we sit and chat with attendees in a more casual setting. I can’t wait!
Blood and Beyond: Relationships and Partnerships in Genre Fiction
Panelists discuss how significant relationships fuel character/plot development in genre fiction. Family, estranged family, adopted parents/guardians, best friends, partners in crime, law enforcement partnerships, and familiars will be discussed. Attention will also be paid to protagonists’ relationships with villains and antiheroes.

Female Protags: Beyond the Badass
Female protagonists have come a long way since the days of being the damsel in distress… Or have they? Guns and martial arts are all well and good, but what about agency? Panelists will discuss what makes a strong female protagonist and the common pitfalls that plague them.
