Stalkers, rejoice! Here is where and when you’ll be able to find me (other than at the bar) at Farpoint 2014, which is happening Friday, February 14, through Sunday, February 16, at the North Baltimore Plaza Hotel, 2004 Greenspring Dr., Timonium, MD 21093. (Be aware this property used to be known as the Crowne Plaza Hotel; it changed names since last year.)

Friday, February 14

4PM — Building a Series
Chesapeake Room 1
I’ll say right now, this one is tentative. As long as traffic and weather cooperate, I’ll be there. But if I’m absent, it’ll be due to travel complications.

10PM–Midnight — Farpoint Book Fair
Dulaney Rooms
Come meet all the author guests of Farpoint, buy books, and get autographs. Yes, I’ll be there, too.

Saturday, February 15

10AM — Ask David Mack Anything
Parlor Room 308
If you can find me in this off-the-beaten track space, go ahead and ask me whatever’s on your mind. You can even start with, “How in heaven’s name are you even awake at this godforsaken hour of the morning?” I do not promise my answers will be coherent, even if I succeed in acquiring coffee before this inquisition.

11AM — The Hobbit: Bored of the Rings?
Dulaney Valley Room 2
I know I’m getting sick of the drawn-out mess that is The Hobbit trilogy. Let’s argue about it. Because lord knows, that always turns out well.

3PM — SyFy Channel Chat
Dulaney Valley Room 2
Let’s talk about all our favorite (and un-favorite) SyFy Channel original series, like Warehouse 13, Helix, and more.

4PM — Autograph Table
Front Atrium
I’ll spend an hour looking like a lost pet, waiting for someone to come buy my books, get autographs, and give me a scritch on the head.

Sunday, February 16

10AM —How to Write for Different Media
Chesapeake Room 2
Once again, some sadist is making me get up early. This time, I’m supposed to be able to offer a cogent lesson on the differences between writing for prose, comics, film, and television. Pray I’ve had coffee beforehand.

Noon — Orphan Black: Send in the Clones
Ridgley Room 1
Come and share opinions about a show I love, the clone-tastic Orphan Black. Come join me and Russ Colchamiro to yak about it.

1PM — Star Trek: Onscreen, Online, or On Paper?
Dulaney Valley Room 1
Let’s argue about where Star Trek is at its best — and where we’d like to see it thrive in the future.

2PM — Autograph Table
Front Atrium
I’ll sit in plain view for one last hour. This will be your last chance to chat with me, buy my books, or get autographs before I depart and return to my native environs in the shadowy northlands (also known as New York City).

That’s my schedule, kids. See y’all at Farpoint!
