I always learn a lot about writing and literature when I participate on panels (that is secretly the biggest reason why I do them, hee), and this was no exception. Fellow authors Brenda Clough, Morgan Keyes, and L. Jagi Lamplighter had fascinating perspectives on writing about girls and women for different genres, and on gender expectations in the larger world.

If you couldn't make it, now you can watch the whole thing on YouTube! If you click that link, it'll start the first of several short videos. Each leads to the next automatically, like MAGIC.


From left to right are Colleen, Jagi, Brenda, me, and Morgan. And a dragon.

By the way, the bookshelves in the background? They go all the way to a very high ceiling and wrap all the way around a very large room. The BSFS has a huuuuuuuuuge library of science fiction and fantasy, and it's all available to the public to borrow. If you're a local, definitely consider stopping by.

Thanks to Alexander Harris for the photo and videos, to Constellation Books for selling our novels, and to everyone in the BSFS for having us over to chat!
