SoonerCon 31 will be held June 30-July 2 at the Embassy Suites Hotel and Conference Center, 2501 Conference Drive, in Norman, Oklahoma.

The pop culture show runs from Friday-Sunday, and more information is at soonercon.com.

I’m excited to return to the show; I’m set to appear on three panels over the weekend.

I’ll be a panelist on “The Age of the Mega Media Machine” at 2 p.m. Friday, discussing how ownership of large media conglomerates may affect messaging and narrative.

On Saturday at 1 p.m. I’ll appear on the Reading is Power panel, discussing the importance of reading and its power to inspire free thinking.

And my final panel of the weekend goes to a galaxy far, far away for the panel called This is the Way, to discuss the adventures of the Mandalorian and Grogu in the “Star Wars” universe. This panel is set for 4 p.m. Saturday.

Hope to see many of you at SoonerCon!
