Earlier this year, I was on @dragoncon.org TV to talk about The Martian Contingency, the origin of the Lady Astronaut books, and the choose-your-own-adventure approach to their reading order. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE6R... I was honored to win the Dragon Award for Best Alternate History Novel.

October 2, 1987: The First Dragon Con takes place at the Pierremont Plaza Hotel. Today, we kick off planning for our 40th event with the unveiling of our #DragonCon2026 logo. We can't wait to start sharing our plans for an out of this world event!!

Danny knows you want to come stay with us for #DragonCon2026. Tony told him. Get ready….
The Monday before each of these dates, we will post information about that specific onsale, including links where applicable.
We can say that we’ve heard volunteering for a few hours at the blood drive will also qualify you for an entry into said giveaway, but you’d need to contact the organizers directly for specifics.

So now that everyone is mostly recovered from #DragonCon2025, and the PCD is at least manageable…
What are you looking forward to next? A convention? Book release? Movie? Vacation?
