My first convention of the year is just around the corner (January 19-21).  COSine is a small SF convention held annually in Colorado Springs, my hometown.  It has always been a wonderful experience for me.  This year, the Guest of Honor is Jody Lynn Nye, and as is tradition, Connie and Courtney Willis are the con’s Special Guests.   The Science Guest is Biomechanical Engineer Dr. Dana Carpenter.  Expect some interesting talks on the effects of space travel on the human body.

Here are the panels I will be on at the convention:

5pm – Moon, Mars, or Beyond – the objectives of manned space flight

8pm – Inventorying and Valuing your Collection

I will also be at the Author’s Reception and Signing on Saturday evening.

COSine 2018 is going to be great fun.  I hope to see you there.
