A week from Wednesday, Scottsdale, Ariz., will briefly become the nexus of SF/F awesomeness — and you need to be there. Yes, YOU.
The Poisoned Pen is hosting a SciFi extravaganza signing on Wednesday, May 27, with a total of 17 authors you really, really want to see, myself included. Heck, there’s a few people on this list that I’m gonna fanboy over. Subtly, of course, because you really gotta be a pro at these things, right? (*squee*)
The list:
- Stephen Blackmoore
- Beth Cato
- Wes Chu
- Myke Cole
- Delilah S. Dawson
- Kevin Hearne
- Jason M. Hough
- Richard Kadrey
- Michael J. Martinez (that’s me!)
- Brian McClellan
- Naomi Novik
- Andrea Phillips
- Cherie Priest
- Brian Staveley
- Sam Sykes
- Chuck Wendig
- Django Wexler
Seriously. SEVENTEEN authors. I’m still kind of amazed at how this particular signing is shaping up, and I’m pretty excited to be a part of it. If you’re a SF/F fan anywhere between, oh, let’s say Los Angeles, Albuquerque and Salt Lake City, this is absolutely worth the trip. And, of course, Phoenix Comicon starts the next day, so if you’re in town for that, you’re officially out of excuses.
The Poisoned Pen is at 4014 North Goldwater Blvd. in Scottsdale, Ariz. The event starts at 7 p.m., and I’m told it’ll basically spill out into the parking lot, since the store literally cannot contain the awesome of 17 SF/F authors in one place. It’s gonna be that good.
A huge thanks to Kevin Hearne for setting this all up, and to the store for putting up with an ever-increasing roster of authors (myself included). Yes, I’m bringing you beer, Poisoned Pen, because you deserve it and it’s how I roll.
