If you’re attending Westercon this weekend, here’s my panel schedule. For the rest of the con I will most likely be manning my booth and selling as many copies of The Shepherd as I can. Come by for an autograph or chat with a lonely author…

Violence in Fantasy


Jackson


Sat Jul 2 2:00:pm – 3:00:pm


Battles, torture, swordfights . . . why do we see so much violence in fantasy literature? Is it a requirement? How much is too much? Do you as a writer have limits? Does every epic have to end in a battle?
