Amazing Stories is pleased to be partnering with Apollocon 2013, a Houston Texas science fiction, fantasy and horror con. John DeNardo, publisher of SF Signal and our interview guest today will be the Guest of Honor. Amazing Stories will be carrying advertising for Apollocon in exchange for promotion in Apollocon’s program book.
Next week on February 24th, 2013, acclaimed author Cory Doctorow will be making an appearance at Gibson’s Bookstore in Concord, NH. Amazing Stories will be on hand to tape the event and will be posting the video shortly after the conclusion of Cory’s visit.
Cory Doctorow (craphound.com) is a science fiction author, activist, journalist and blogger — the co-editor of Boing Boing (boingboing.net) and the author of Tor Teen novels FOR THE WIN and the bestselling LITTLE BROTHER. He is the former European director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and co-founded the UK Open Rights Group. Born in Toronto, Canada, he now lives in London.
Gibson’s bookstore is an independent store, participating in the Indiecommerce online purchasing program.
Cory will be appearing to talk about his latest novel Homeland, the sequel to the New York Time’s Bestseller Little Brother.
The good folks at Gibson’s & TOR sent along some fine promotional materials:
Cory has been a friend to Amazing Stories, helping to spread the word through BoingBoing.net. It is only fitting that we return the favor in some small measure. I’ll be picking up a copy of Homeland to go along with my copy of Little Brother. If you’re in the area, stop on by!
