Conflux timetable

So, Conflux. Only two more sleeps!

I haven't had time to really look at the program and decide what panels I'm going to be attending. I'll probably have to do that once I get there.

What I do know, is what panels I'm involved in. So, if you're in Canberra and looking for me over the long weekend this is where you'll be able to find me:

Saturday 3pm - AHWA Presents: Dreaming or Nightmarish: Australian Horror Goes Bush.
Rob Hood, Deborah Biancotti, Andrew McKiernan, Jack Dann, Leigh Blackmore.
The Dreaming is characterised as something mysterious and wondrous but something dark lurks in our red heart. The outback is a desolate and scary place at times and its primordial inhabitants aren't always benevolent. Horror writers discuss the Australian landscape and Aboriginal myth as the foundation of nightmarish stories.

Sunday 10am - Visual Imagination - can we do more on the page compared to the screen?
Andrew McKiernan (chair), Mark Shireffs, Lewis Morley, Liz Argall.
Both the screen and the page have strengths and limitations. Which one works best in which situations?

Sunday 3pm - Privacy, Free Speech and Copy Protection: How do new reading technologies change the issues?
Fiona McLennan, Andrew McKiernan, Phill Berrie, Nyssa Pascoe(chair)

Sunday 4pm - In Bad Dreams 2 Event
Sharyn Lilley, featuring readings by Gillian Polack and Andrew McKiernan (I'll be reading from my In Bad Dreams 2 story 'Daivadana')

Sunday 5pm - AHWA Presents: 60 Minutes of Fear
Rob Hood, Shane Jiraiya Cummings, Leigh Blackmore, Andrew McKiernan
Australian Horror Writers Association members read their darkest work; with the audience voting on who is Australia's scariest author (prizes will be awarded!) [I'll be reading from my Macabre anthology story 'All the Clowns in Clowntown']
