Boskone is a regional Science Fiction convention focusing on literature, art, music, and gaming. They're not just SF, though; there's a good amount of Fantasy and some horror representation in panels and author signings.
I won't be doing any readings, signings, or panels, but you can find me hanging out with members of Broad Universe.

Arisia (January 16 - 19, 2015)
You're probably just getting into the swing of the holidays, but I'm thinking ahead to that quiet time when all the craziness is over and the Science Fiction/Fantasy conventions start up again.
The first on the calendar is Arisia, a volunteer-run convention that covers all aspects of science fiction and fantasy literature and media. I'll be hanging out at the Broad Universe table, signing and selling books, and also participating on two panels:
Panelists discuss religions, holidays and rituals across the genres (Fantasy, Horror, SF) and their creation. What are the differences in belief systems associated with traditional holidays of our world's different cultures as compared to those in genre fiction?
Terri Bruce (moderator), Barbara Chepatis, Greer Gilman, Debra Doyle, Morven Westfield
A discussion of favorite fortune telling methods, their uses, and how they're portrayed in popular culture. Covering tarot cards to hydromancy and everything in-between.
Catherine Kane (moderator), Sean Kane, Anna Erishkigal, Morven Westfield
