I'm traveling shortly to the University of Kansas, where I am very honored to be one of the special guests of the 2006 Campbell Conference and Awards Banquet, held this year from July 6th to 9th. I'll be sitting in on the last days of their writer's workshop, and will be one of two speakers giving the keynote address (the other being George Zebrowski) on the state of the science fiction novel, and taking part at the bookstore signing at Oread Bookstore as well. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
