Context 20

an expanded set of writing workshops
anime and videos
a dealer's room of books, comics, artwork, and collectibles
a charity raffle to benefit First Book
an author roast
gourmet goodies and lively conversation in our con suite
a party to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation - festivities will be sponsored by the USS Maximillian.

Another con I don't want to miss!

Meadowhawk Press will be attending Context20 this year. The staff has been more than professional with communication and help. My wife will be a guest panelist and we'll be launching an anthology titled, TOUCHED BY WONDER, with a portion of proceeds donated to Breast Cancer Research and Awareness.

We are excited about finding a literary based con in the middle part of the country!

1 1/2 weeks to the Con. Every day I call the printer and ask where the books are. Every day he says, "Don't worry." I'll keep worrying until I have the books!

Anyone else going to be at ConText20?
