I haven’t been active in my Casey persona in recent years (as a writer,
that is!) for two reasons:
I have been focussing on my Brigit writings, as Mael Brigde, and this
has taken a lot of time and energy. (You can find a link to my book,
blogs, etc. here.)
VCon, our annual SF convention here in Vancouver, Canada, has been
absent for several years. Over the last year or two, volunteers have been
hosting events in order to rebuild toward VCon, and I’ve enjoyed these
very much, but as a regular attendee, not as a panelist. In November,
they are presenting a one day convention called CONnections, and I
have decided to pitch a readers theatre, as we have done in previous
years as the Pallahaxi Players Readers Theatre.
I hope this happens. I haven’t volunteered this time around to be on
panels, and with the very sad and sudden death of Fran Skene, there is
not likely to be a Turkey Reading (one of the greatest delights of VCons
past, for me, at least), but I would love to sit down with fellow writers and
read out something delightful for the audience.
We may have something in the can already, but if you have a short,
stirring or humorous, play that would suit readers theatre*, we would be
happy to see if your writing would be a fit for us. Or if you know of
something in the public domain that would work well for an audience of
SF and fantasy fans, we'd be interested in knowing about that, too.
If you are interested in participating at CONnections, you can pitch your
idea here:

together and read out our parts.
