Hadley Rille Books traditionally has a strong presence at ConQuest. This year, several of our editors, authors, and artists will attend, including everyone's favorite editor Eric T. Reynolds, as well as Heroines of Fantasy contributors, Terri-Lynne DeFino, Karin Rita Gastreich, and Mark Nelson.
On Saturday, May 25th, from 1pm to 3pm, Mark will be hosting a launch party for KING'S GAMBIT, the critically acclaimed companion novel to POETS OF PEVANA. Hadley Rille editors, authors, and artists will be in attendance. Come join us for the fun and take advantage of great discounts on all Hadley Rille titles.
Here's a little bit of ConQuesT trivia: the first sci-fi con George R.R. Martin ever attended was ConQuesT in Kansas City, and this little con is still one of his favorites. Every few years GRRM returns to Kansas City for ConQuesT, coming in as just another member to banter with fans and followers about the genre, and to hang out with old friends. I had the great privilege of meeting him the last time he attended, in 2010.
This year's guests of honor at ConQuesT include author Patrick Rothfuss, artist John Picacio, and editor Teresa Nielson Hayden. For more information about the con, including the program schedule, visit ConQuesT's web page.
If you'd like to meet Terri, Karin, and Mark at the con, here's where to find them:

I can't wait to see everyone there, too!
Looks like GRRM will be there so hopefully it will draw an even bigger crowd this year. I wish everyone a full audience and a great time!
