Many Genres authors at Confluence 2011

Speculative fiction authors from our writing guide, Many Genres, One Craft: Lessons in Writing Popular Fiction, were all over the place at the Confluence sf/f/h convention this weekend. Coeditor Heidi Ruby Miller and I hosted a 'literary beer' talk about the book that was a highlight, among other things. Here are some photos from the book signing event. In the photos, the MGOC writers are the ones wearing the buttons: Heidi Ruby Miller, Jason Jack Miller, Lawrence Connolly, Diane Turnshek, and myself. (Timons Esaias was there too but eluded my camera.)
