2015 Comic-Con Schedule!

Thursday, 7/9/15 @ 1:30pm: Horton Grand Theater
Return of the Smitten Word
Bestselling authors Rachel Hawkins (Miss Mayhem), Christina Lauren (Beautiful Bastard), and Anna Todd (After) talk about the evolution of fan fiction and the power of online readership and engage in another hilarious battle over movies, TV shows, and Hollywood’s hottest. The discussion will be led by S.J. Harper (Reckoning).

Friday, 7/10/15 @ 10:00am: Room 32AB
Adventure Couples
SFF fans are always down for an adventure, from a daring airship expedition to space-age exploration, but what’s the fun in an adventure if there’s no one to share it with? Some of the most compelling stories in genre fiction spring out of the relationships between two equally awesome characters when they’re thrown together in an out-of-this-world situation. Come discuss the lure of romantic adventure with Chloe Neil (The Devil’s Isle series), Sam Sykes (The City Stained Red), Beth Cato (The Clockwork Crown), Suzanne Young (The Remedy), Gena Showalter (Alice in Zombieland), and Mary E. Pearson (The Heart of Betrayal). Moderated by S. J. Harper (Reckoning).

The ghouls are ghastly, and we mere mortals are growing testy. Oh, and that creepy-looking fella is sprouting fur from his feet, and who knows ‘were’ else! This panel will profile some of the scariest characters in modern popular fiction and may even provide perspective on the monsters of myth.

June 2013:

Are you curious about Cursed, the new S.J. Harper book being released on October 1, 2013? Take a look at the trailer for the book and the short film “Cursed in San Diego” created by Mazzax Productions. To the right you can see a photo of Director/Producer Max James (AKA, Sam’s gifted spawn) on location in San Diego with Rose, a character from the Cursed played expertly by actress Andrea Sweeney. Let Rose take you on a tour of the San Diego hotspots featured in the book. Notice Max’s T-shirt choice: “And then Buffy staked Edward. The End.” An appropriate choice when making a film staring a vampire.
