Context 20
Context will be held September 28-30, 2007 at The Midwest Hotel & Conference Center in Columbus, OH.

Context is a friendly convention focused on speculative fiction literature. If you enjoy manga, anime, science fiction, fantasy, or horror, you'll find plenty to entertain you at this convention. It features an engaging mix of programming for fans and pros alike, including:

• author readings and autograph sessions
• book and movie panels
• 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.
• card games, board games, and ad hoc handheld challenges (so bring your Magic™ deck, PSP or DS if you have one!)
• science presentations
• filking
• poetry

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?
