Denver Fan Expo this weekend!

I'm excited to be a part of the Denver Fan Expo in a little different capacity than I normally have been at conventions over the last 20 years. I'll be running the Rocky Mountain Chapter's Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators booth in the Pop Culture Classroom's Kids' Lab, and moderating a couple of panels:

Conversations with Colorado KidLit Authors: Saturday 2:00pm-2:50pm - Theater 708 (Jason Henderson (Young Captain Nemo), Andrea Y Wang (Watercress), Polly Holyoke (Skyriders), Olivia Chadha (Rise of the Red Hand), Megan Freeman (Alone), and myself (There's a Zombie in the Basement))

Children's Book Editors Don't Look at Your Diploma: Saturday 6:00pm-7:00pm - Theater 708 (Kaz Windness (Bitsy Bat School Star), Lily Williams (Go With The Flow), Jessica Lanan (Jumper), and myself (There's a Zombie in the Basement))

All-Ages stage Presentation: Sunday 12:15-12:45pm - ALL AGE STAGE (me doing a reading of THERE'S A ZOMBIE IN THE BASEMENT along with an interactive monster drawing demo)

Otherwise, I'll be at the booth periodically, but mostly getting lots of steps in running badges to folks. This is the booth schedule:
