First con guest appearance–Swancon, here I come!
I'm really humbled and still a little stunned to be able to announce that I'll be attending Swancon 2011 (which will be the 50th Australian Natcon) as an invited guest. The official announcement is here: http://2011.swancon.com.au/2010/12/special-announcement/
That's quite a line-up to add to the already stellar guest list of Ellen Datlow, Justina Robson, Sean Williams and Sarah Xu. I mean, Glenda and Jonathan are worth the entry money alone! Juliet is amazing, Lyn's achievements speak for themselves and Bevan is fascinating.
Which of course leads to the question – why the hell did they want me? But I'm not letting myself think that for too long and instead am focussing on the great honour that's been bestowed upon me and psyching myself up to be fabulous.
So thanks to Alisa and the team at Swancon 36/Natcon 50 and I promise that I'm going to be a dream guest (and in a good way, not in a 'had the most awful nightmare about Nicole Murphy then realised it wasn't a nightmare' way).
Thanks also to my wonderful husband, who the moment I told him about it said 'Of course you have to go' even though it means he'll only see me for one week in the whole of April. What an awesome hubby!
