SUMMARY:Exploring a Future\, Changing the Past (Sci-fi/Fantasy)
DESCRIPTION:*All events are FREE\, but we do ask that you please register so that we can monitor attendance and venue capacity.* \nScience Fiction and fantasy explore new worlds; some are light years away or hundreds of years in the future\, some are new perspectives on our shared past. They can be intimate stories of a single person or sprawling narratives of an entire culture. Three writers talk about what drew them to the genre and what continues to thrill them. With MONICA BYRNE\, T FROHOCK\,and CADWELL TURNBULL.Hosted by JL HERNDON. \nMONICA BYRNE is a novelist\, playwright\, and screenwriter who resides in North Carolina. Her first novel\, The Girl in the Road\, received the 2015 Otherwise Award\, and her second novel\, The Actual Star\, was published in September 2021. \nT FROHOCK has turned a love of history and dark fantasy into tales of deliciously creepy fiction. She is the author of Miserere: An Autumn Tale\, and the Los Nefilim series from Harper Voyager. Her works\, Where Oblivion Lives and Carved from Stone and Dream\, were both short-listed for the Manly Wade Wellman award in 2020 and 2021 respectively. A native North Carolinian\, T. has long been accused of telling stories\, which is a southern colloquialism for lying. \nCADWELL TURNBULL is the author of The Lesson and No Gods\, No Monsters. His short fiction has appeared in The Verge\, Lightspeed\, Nightmare\, Asimov’s Science Fiction and several anthologies\, including The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy 2018 and The Year’s Best Science Fiction and Fantasy 2019.

SUMMARY:Afternoon Delight
DESCRIPTION:*All events are FREE\, but we do ask that you please register so that we can monitor attendance and venue capacity.* \nSay goodbye to your mom’s harlequin bodice rippers\, romance has gotten a makeover! From sleek new cover designs you actually want on your shelf (so long\, busty corsets!) to rethinking what romance storytelling can mean\, the new romance has become one of the fast-expanding genres\, and with good reason. Romance authors are pushing the bounds of what’s possible\, experimenting with form and structure in ways that were once reserved for “literary” novels and widening the view of whose love stories get to be told. Everyone deserves to be the hero of a smutty romcom\, and that’s what this panel embodies: the new\, inclusive face of romance and the authors pushing the genre onto bold new ground. Join us for a rip-roarin’ good time with CHERIS HODGES\, TIMOTHY JANOVSKY\, and THIEN-KIM LAM. Hosted by SHANNON JONES. \nYou may also be interested in:\n•  Borderlands and Crossroads: Writing\, Racism\, and Asian American Life\n\n \nAward winning author CHERIS HODGES was bitten by the writing bug at an early age and always knew she wanted to be a writer. She wrote her first romance novel\, Revelations\, after having a vivid dream about the characters. She hopped out of bed at 2 A.M. and started writing. A graduate of Johnson C. Smith University and a winner of the North Carolina Press Association’s community journalism award\, Cheris lives in Charlotte\, North Carolina\, where she is a freelance journalist. She loves hearing from her readers. Follow Cheris on Twitter @cherishodges\, friend her on Facebook at Cheris Hodges. \nTIMOTHY JANOVSKY  is a queer\, multidisciplinary storyteller from New Jersey. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Muhlenberg College and a self-appointed certificate in rom-com studies (accreditation pending). When he’s not daydreaming about young Hugh Grant\, he’s telling jokes\, playing characters\, and writing books. Never Been Kissed is his first novel. \nTHIEN-KIM LAM writes stories about Vietnamese characters who smash stereotypes and find their happy endings. A recovering Type-Asian\, she guzzles cà phê sữa đá\, makes art\, and bakes her feelings to stay sane. Thien-Kim is also the founder of Bawdy Bookworms\, a subscription box that pairs sexy romances with erotic toys. She’s been featured on Jezebel\, NPR\, BBC America\, and Glamour. Her debut novel Happy Endings is now available\, and her forthcoming book will be released in 2022 \nSHANNON PURDY JONES is co-owner of Scuppernong Books in Greensboro\, NC. She holds a BS in Evolutionary Biology from Appalachian State University. Her reading life is a disaster zone of general fiction\, sci-fi\, romance\, queer studies and science nonfiction. As a bookseller she doesn’t believe in book shaming or book snobbery\, and wants everyone who walks into her shop to feel at home no matter what they’re reading.
