Guest of Honor
Sarah A. Hoyt is a novelist with (she thinks) twenty three novels out. There might be more, as she may have lost count. Genres are also fungible. So far she hasn’t written pure romance, hard sci fi or man’s adventure. However her unofficial motto is “no genre is safe from me.”
To find out more about what she’s done to various innocent tropes and subgenres, look her books on AccordingToHoyt.com, her blog.
(Adapted from her “About” page until the Webmistress gets Sent Information.)
Memberships are $45 per attendee, and kids under 8 are free.
Memberships can be ordered below, with the T-shirt orders, or by using the Contact Page for payment information.
T-shirt design is pending.

Note from Convention Leadership:
Please book early. If we fill it, they’ll try to add more rooms from other cancellations. Half the rooms are in the Comfort Suites, the rest in La Quinta, literally across two aisles of parking.
The slight increase in room rate helps offset the function space.
