FANDOMFEST 2013
July 26th through July 28th in Louisville, KY
Well- I did it! I survived FANDOMFEST 2013!
What an experience it was! My family was with me, and I even had a visit from a member of my street team.
I hung out with spectacular fellow authors Jennifer Malone Wright (The Vampire Hunter's Daughter; Once Upon a Zombie Apocalypse; Savior) and JH Glaze (The John Hazzard Series; Rune). I met new author friends like Stephen Zimmer (Crown of Vengeance) and C. Bryan Brown (Necromancer; Men of Five) and I sat on my first panel series.
There were issues at FandomFest, given the number of attendees, but overall, it was a great experience. I'll be sharing a blog post about it within the next 24 hours, giving y'all a little insight into what it was all about!
But what you really want to know- who was there? Who did you see? Well, for your viewing enjoyment, I threw together a little video on the best photos I grabbed at FANDOMFEST. Sit back and enjoy the view!

FANDOMFEST 2013 AUTHOR PANELS FOR LISA C. MORGAN
FRIDAY:
2:00 pm: “Meet the Authors”
An informal meet and greet, where attendees at Fandom Fest can get an idea of who’s who on the Literary Track!
5:30 pm: “Writing a Series”
Whether a trilogy or fifteen books in length, a series involving several installments is very prevalent in the world of speculative fiction. There are things to keep in mind when creating and developing a series. This panel will involve a discussion with several authors with active series, offering suggestions and approaches to writing effective installments in a solid series. FEATURING THESE AUTHORS: Terry W. Ervin, J.H. Glaze, Mark Wandrey, Lisa Morgan, M.B. Weston & S.B. Knight
8:30pm: “Author Karaoke”
Just fun, informal Karaoke featuring Fandom Fest authors! Who knows who else might be there? Rumor has it that Selah Janel and John F. Allen will be dazzling the audience with their hosting and singing talents!
SATURDAY:
1:00 pm: “Plotter or Pantser”
When writing a short story, novella, or novel, there are some who heavily outline, and some who largely go with the flow, as well as all levels in between. This discussion will explore the development of plot in regards to a new writing project, as authors discuss what kind of approach they take. FEATURING THESE AUTHORS: Chris Brown, Jennifer Malone Wright, Giny Flemming, K.B. Miller, Pamela Turner, & Lisa Morgan
4:00 pm: “Game of Thrones: books v. TV show”
Be prepared for spoilers! A panel discussion comparing the highly popular HBO series adapting George R.R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire Series. What do you like and not like about the television version? Perhaps the television version has some things that you liked better than the books? This promises to be a fun panel for fans of the show, books, or both!
FEATURING THESE AUTHORS: Tony Acree, Lee Martindale, Ian Harac, & Lisa Morgan
