MiniCon 2014 & New Incubus Review!
This was my third year at MiniCon in Bloomington, MN, with BWN, the first being when we only had one published title to our name, my novelette The Collector. Now we had nearly 30 to showcase.
“Minicon is a volunteer run, general science fiction convention held every year on Easter weekend in or near Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minicon is run by the Minnesota Science Fiction Society, or MNStF. Attendees of Minicon can expect to find a full slate of programming (panel discussions, readings, signings, etc.), costuming, films, gaming (open and organized), an art show, dealers, kids' programming, a science room, filk and folk music, a consuite and bar, room parties, and various special events.”
I look forward to the homebrews in the bar every year, of course, but first and foremost the people, as this smaller convention is for lovers of science fiction and is always teaming with readers—just my kind of crowd.
I'm very excited for next year’s 50th anniversary MiniCon, and plan to more heavily participate in panels, signings, and other events, thanks to some great advice and conversations from Blake Hausladen who had his release party for:
Thank you again to the wonderful dealer room staff, volunteers, and everyone who helps put MiniCon together each year. It is always a fantastic time!
Then I returned to the grind this morning to discover a new review at Joyfully Jay, which focuses on M/M Romance reviews. Reviewer Kris' write-up is just wonderful. So thought out and just...well, had me grinning even on a Monday, so please check it out!
And stay tuned for more convention news, as I'll be at Wizard Minneapolis Comic Con in just a couple weeks!
