June 2012 Preview
Between continuing my push on Wynde and starting to prepare for convention season, June is looking to be another busy month. But first, more Star Wars Weekends and a chance to say hello in person to some Star Wars VIPs. I’ll be sure to file another report.
GeekGirlCon – I’ll be talking a bit more about my panel at GeekGirlCon, including an announcement of the panelists. I’m getting really excited about talking Strong Female Characters with these wonderful Star Wars fans.
Star Wars Discussions – My discussion of the Hapans with Racheal and Kay continues this month. Following my Suvudu article on Tyria Sarkin Tainer, look for more excitement building toward August’s X-Wing: Mercy Kill, too.
Contributor Posts – Next up from FANgirl Blog contributors is a post from Kay about Katniss Everdeen, and why her relatable qualities make her such an effective heroine in The Hunger Games.
