I am absolutely thrilled to announce that I have been invited to be a Guest of Honour at Conflux 19, the speculative fiction convention held in Canberra each year. The convention will take place from Friday 3 October through to Monday 5 October with the theme Brave New Worlds. I’m a regular attendee at Conflux and it’s one of my favourites cons. The organisers are hardworking and supremely helpful, and I always to get to catch up with old friends as well as make some new ones. I’ve been to many conventions before, and even ran a few back in the day, but have never been a GoH before so I’m really, really looking forward to it.

I’ll share more details, including my panels and other program items, when that comes available closer to the con and I’d love to see you there. Membership details are available on the Conflux website.

Oh, and a certain writerly husband of mine might also be a Conflux GoH this year . . . cunning plans may be afoot in the McDermott-Nahrung household!
