A working draft of the World Horror Convention program schedule has been circulating on Facebook. Here are the panels to which I’ve been tentatively assigned.

Four Color Calamaties: Horror in Comic Books
Friday, May 9, 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.
Creators from indie to mainstream in the graphic novel industry methods of getting your work out there and the challenges within the medium.
with Greg Staples, Cullen Bunn, Brian Keene, and Kari Yadro

Life After ‘The Walking Dead’: Zombie Fiction Today
Saturday, May 10, 10:00 a.m.-11:00 a.m.
Zombie stories are a tough sell after WORLD WAR Z and WALKING DEAD. But for some reason, when done well, the form just doesn’t stay dead. Find out what makes great zombie fiction come to life.
with Joe McKinney, Steve Rasnic Tem, John Skipp, Dana Fredsti, Brian Keene, and S.G. Browne

Unfortunately, I don’t land In Portland until 1:20 p.m. on Friday, so I won’t be able to make that 1:00 p.m. comics panel. Since I doubt it’ll be moved on my account, your only official chance to see me will be at Saturday’s zombie panel. Though the reading schedule has yet to be announced, so who knows?

Hope to see you at the con, whether on a panel, in the dealers room … or at the bar!
