Date of Appearance:
Saturday, June 23, 2012 - 4:00pm - 5:30pm

Is this because authors are gearing their works towards a wider audience, or is it because big budget films and television shows are spotlighting the genres?

Martin and Blake Charlton (both courtesy of Tor Publishing) speak on the subject.
