Worldcon 2019 Schedule
Coming to Worldcon 2019 in Dublin, Ireland? Me too! I’m happy to talk to peeps and sign things any time so if you see me wandering around, say hi! But I’ll also be on a couple panels and doing a Kaffeeklatsch where you can come ask me whatever and hang out.
Here’s where to find me:

The Vikings are coming!
Format: Panel
16 Aug 2019, Friday 13:30 – 14:20, Odeon 2 (Point Square Dublin)
Many novels use Viking elements, whether they are retelling myths or basing their society on Norse history. What common tropes appear in Norse fantasy? Is there a conflict between the popular image of the fierce marauder and the historical realities of the period? Does there need to be a factual basis for Viking stories, or are the tropes so strong that historical accuracy would seem somehow ‘less Viking’?
