Life, the Universe, & Everything 43 starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday evening (February 13-15). I’ll be on a panel about Hayao Miyazaki, then MC-ing the release of Dog Save the King (the seventh in the LTUE Benefit Anthologies series, co-dited with Jaleta Clegg). Following that, I’ll be overseeing a memorial gathering for my long-time friend, Melva Gifford, who passed away at the beginning of January. She was one of the founders of the Leading Edge and LTUE, and she helped with both of them for many, many years. She will definitely be missed.
Most of my time at LTUE will be at the Hemelein Publications table just outside the Boardroom at the Provo Marriott Hotel and Conference Center. Come by and chat, hang out, pick up a few books, and get a chance to win a signed and numbered Kickstarter hardcover edition of The Horror at Pooh Corner, an anthology of Lovecraftian Winnie-the-Pooh stories. There are only 100 of them in total, and only three left. It’s beautifully illustrated by Leila May and Meredith Dillman and has a gorgeous dust jacket illustration by Jessica M. Douglas.
