Double 2017 Hugo Award Nominee Seanan McGuire Scheduled To Appear At Fantasy Faire Today

Seanan Mcguire, who seems to have an issue with Bald Eagles crashing into her bedroom window is scheduled to appear at Fantasy Faire 2017 between 1-3pm SLT today.

The blurb for the event tells us :

Interview with Seanan McGuire, author of the October Daye novels
Seanan McGuire will be talking about her writing, her characters and other things. This may include cats.

This may involve bald eagles too. I’m not making this up!

Seanan has been nominated for the two Hugo Awards this year, Best Novella for Every Heart a Doorway (Tor.com publishing) and Best Series for The October Daye Books (DAW / Corsair).

The Lilypods provide instruments and entertainment to aid the frogs of Mudrana that croak and sing to preserve their world from death.

Fantasy Faire 2017 – A Visit To The FaireChylde

The first day of Fantasy Faire can be a rather hectic affair, looking for lodgings, getting your bearings, and working out where there’s a tavern that won’t be full of elves.

That being said, it’s Fantasy Faire and you really have to start the event in a raucous manner by enjoying some festivities and a good place to enjoy raucous festivities is aboard The FaireChylde.
