SwanCon 2006

[Rosemary]

Our Australian author, Cecilia Dart-Thornton will be attending SwanCon Convention on the 3rd - 6th March. I just hope I haven't left if too late to get a ticket. This will be my first Convention I have attended and am really looking forward to it.

Prior to this, Ms Dart-Thornton will be booksigning and chatting at Dymocks Bookshop in one of our large Shopping Centres. So, I shall have to buy a copy of Volume 2 of The Crowthistle Chronicles.

She is also attending The University of Western Australia's Perth International Arts Festival. There she will be giving/participating with other authors (doesnt say in her newsletter) in The Words & Ideas Programme, which would have been marvellous to go to. However, this coincides with the weekend I am spending in Melbourne with some friends from our very own SF & F. I expect she will come over here again, so the trip to Melbourne certainly gets priority

I briefly met with Cecilia at Worldcon - she certainly seems to appreciated the multimedia aspect of creativity. Really should interview her, but Australia seems a bit far to go.

 

[Rosemary]

Lucky you for actually meeting her! I hope I get a chance

It certainly is a pity that it is too far for you to come, to interview her...

Yep as you know Rosemary I've met and had my Bitterbynde books personally signed by Cecilia. She's a very nice and approachable lady and she's certainly getting more into the Multimedia apsect of publishing witness her free CD aviailable with book 2 of the Crownthistle tetraology. I've got it and it's not bad...

You can tell us all about your expectations for the SwanCon when we meet in Melbourne.....

A convention virgin hey?.....
