FANTASYCON 2017 AND WHERE TO FIND US…

We’re off to see the wonders…the wonders of Fantasycon!*

Yes, we’re gearing up for a great weekend of fantasy-filled fun and booktastic conversations. It’s already looking like an incredible weekend, and to top it all off, there are plenty of our authors there for you to listen to, share a pint with, question…or simply gaze in awe at! 

We’ve also got a fantastic Solaris Books launch planned for Nate Crowley’s 100 Best Video Games (that never existed) and Guy Adams’ The Change series on Saturday at 2:00pm in the Broadway Suite! 

Check out the full schedule below, and make sure to say hello if you see the good people of Rebellion (Abaddon Dave, the incredible Jon Oliver, and the irrepresible Remy) who will be flying the flag for us…

See you Friday! 

*Sings to the tune of “We’re Off to See the Wizard” as a gentle reminder that our Saturday night Karaoke will be happening! Clean your pipes and come belt it out with us
