Yesterday, I had the pleasure of speaking at the
Austin SCBWI monthly meeting at
BookPeople. The title of my talk was "The Impossible and the Improbable and Willing Suspension of Disbelief in Science Fiction and Fantasy." The talk generally covered, among other things, the fact that reality is not realistic, and the discussion ranged from survival cannibalism to the
Titanic to time travel in
CHRONAL ENGINE. A version of the speech will appear in this fall's
Hunger Mountain. If you're not already reading it, you should :-).
After a brief interlude, we celebrated the launch of
IT JES' HAPPENED: WHEN BILL TRAYLOR STARTED TO DRAW (Lee and Low, 2012) with author
Don Tate. He provided the background of the book and how he and illustrator R. Gregory Christie interpreted the events in the life of the folk artist.
All in all, a fun way to spend a Saturday! Thanks, everyone for coming, and happy reading!
