SF Signal: ApolloCon 2007

ApolloCon 2007

This year's ApolloCon, Houston's science fiction, fantasy and horror conference, happens June 22 through June 24.

Guests include C. S. Friedman (The Coldfire Trilogy, This Alien Shore, Feast Of Souls), David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer (the über-editing team of the Year's Best SF series and The Space Opera Renaissance), Chris Roberson (Here, There & Everywhere, Paragaea, X-Men: The Return), John Cramer (Twistor), Jayme Blaschke, Martha Wells and Artist Jeff Sturgeon, among others.

Hopefully this addresses JP's concerns about sf authors coming to Houston. [Looks at JP.]

Nope, 'cause it's not a book signing. Cons are different.

Why does Amazon have 2 editions of The Space Opera Renaissance up for sale? Is the $40 one a limited edition.

Nevermind, I see that the cheaper one is a paperback. But $24.95 for a paperback???

The difference is that its a 944-page paperback. The book is freakin' huge.

JP,
So it's not so much meeting the author as it is getting their signature? Or is it the con's admission fee?
