"Creating a Pagan Fiction"


(This is the summary of the talk I will be giving with Elizabeth Johnson Lee at this year's Pantheacon in San Jose, on Feb.16th) 


What comes to mind when you think of Pagan books?  Information on tarot, or candles, or rituals?  Do you think of Pagan fiction?  What do you mean by Pagan fiction?  Do you include science fiction and fantasy?  Have you heard of the newer term Visionary Fiction?
Come hear Bill Baldwin, local COG and South Bay Circles elder, describe his odyssey of creating and publishing a Pagan-themed novel (Soul Flight). Elizabeth Johnson Lee (The House at 844 1/2) will also share her thoughts and experiences. 
What considerations go into writing and publishing fiction with a Pagan theme?  Is everything just variations of (for example) Harry Potter, the Wicker Man, or Charmed?  How can you publish what you have written?  How can you promote it?
We will present a few excerpts of Pagan fiction as well.
