I’ll be attending Chicagoland’s oldest science fiction convention, Windycon, at the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center in Lombard, Illinois, November 10 to 12. This year’s theme is “Dystopia!”

I’ll be on some fun panels, too:

• Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Friday, 8:00 p.m.
• VillainCon Submissions – What if writers of dystopian stories are really submitting their world domination plans for peer review? Saturday, 1:00 p.m.
• Developing a Language, Saturday, 2 p.m.
• Dystopian Recipes – alternative proteins and how to cook them, Saturday, 9:00 p.m.
