Meeting me online, live

by

I forgot to tell you all that on Sunday 30 August (a month and a little) there will be an online science fiction convention, and that I’m one of the guests. Every year, Conflux invites the guests of honour to be Minicon (the online version of the live event, where we shall be enjoying the banquet in October) the year of their guestliness and the year after, and this is my year after. Last year, towards the end of my guest spot, someone realised that they could talk to me about food history and they regretted not discovering this earlier. That’s why I’m telling you today that I shall be online from 10.30-11.30 am Australian Eastern Standard Time and I would be delighted to talk food history, or any history. Just because I’m also a fiction writer, doesn’t mean I can’t talk about history!

If you can’t work out international time zones, just tell me where you live and I’ll consult one of those world clocks and tell you what time/day it will be for you. If you’re in New Zealand it will be Sunday and if you’re in the US it will be Saturday, that much I know without checking.

If you’re interested in meeting me live, through the happy medium of a computer keyboard (where you don’t have to tussle with the Australian accent) then you should register http://conflux.org.au/forum/ . Registration is free. You can attend any of the sessions you want, though I do suggest that you save your food history questions for me.
