ConText 2011

Now that NZ Book Month is over it's time to look forward to the next event on the horizon, which in my case is ConText, the  32nd New Zealand Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention, which is to be held in Auckland over the Queen's Birthday long weekend of 3-5 June.

Although the full programme is yet to be confirmed, the international Guest of Honour is US author Catherine Asaro who will also be running a pre-Convention writing workshop on 1-2 June.

I am very much looking forward to attending ConText, meeting up with Catherine and the other guests, who I understand may include Lyn McConchie and Russell Kirkpatrick, with fan Guest of Honour, Lynette Howell.

Closer to the event, I'll bring you details of the programme events I'll be particiapting in—I do look forward to seeing some of my NZ readers there.
