Minor Characters
Lincoln              Sat Nov 9 4:00pm-5:00pm
Do your minor characters take over the scene?  Or do you have the opposite
problem where they all seem the same or are faceless automatons?  Learn
the tricks of the trade that help writers populate  their fiction with
believable, interesting characters that don`t overwhelm the scene.
(*)Diana Pharaoh Francis, SD Perry, Karen Azinger, Bill Johnson, Leslie
What

Write what you don’t know
Roosevelt            Sun Nov 10 11:00am-12:00pm
How do you write about talking dragons, vampire detectives, alternate
history, and space travel? Research and common sense can give your just
enough background to really write what you don’t know.
Ann Gimpel, Adrian Phoenix, Diana Pharaoh Francis, Wendy N. Wagner,
(*)Jason Andrew

At 4:30-6 Sunday, 30 authors including me will be signing at Powells Beaverton. It’s a great time to get some Christmas gifts and stock up some great books. Follow the link for a list of authors.

If anyone can make it, I’d love to see you. Feel free to track me down at the con and hang out.
