| Howard Days 2008
-
June 13-14, 2008! Project Pride and The Robert E. Howard Foundation are pleased to announce that this year's guest for Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains will be Mark Finn. Finn is the author of Blood & Thunder: The Life and Art of Robert E. Howard (Monkeybrain Books, 2006), the 2007 Cimmerian Award winner for Book by a Single Author, which was also nominated for a World Fantasy Award and was a finalist for the Locus Award for Best Non-Fiction. Finn has written about REH for The Dark Man, The Cimmerian, and Dark Horse Comics, among others, and his “Fists of Robert E. Howard” in The Barbaric Triumph won the 2005 Cimmerian Award for Best Essay. He also writes regularly for The Cimmerian Blog. As Creative Director for The Violet Crown Radio Players, Mark has adapted several of Howard’s Steve Costigan stories for performance. He has been one of the most instrumental voices in bringing Howard’s boxing fiction greater exposure and critical attention, and he is a lively and entertaining speaker and raconteur. We are delighted to have Mark join us the weekend of June 13-14, 2008, as we celebrate Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains. |

| Abingdon Pulp
& Paperback Conference - Saturday,
June 21 and Sunday, June 22! Curt Philips is hosting a small SF conference here in Abingdon, VA on Saturday, June 21 and Sunday, June 22. (We'll also have some kind of social function on the evening of Friday, June 20 for those who may want to arrive early but I'm still looking at what that will be. Several interesting alternatives - mostly involving food - present themselves.) It's called the Abingdon Pulp & Paperback Conference and yes, this is short notice, but I invite any of you who might like to attend to come to Abingdon and join us. I expect to have a website up soon and will certainly post that link here. I already have intentions to attend in hand from two writers and I'm hoping for more. I'm also looking for additional book dealers who'd like to attend. If anyone here would be interested in being a dealer, or would just like to bring some surplus pulps, fiction magazines or books along to sell or trade, we'll have a place for you too. The weekend will be one of relaxed book-hunting and book conversation with like minded people, and as the name indicates, our main focus will be on pulp magazines and paperback books, vintage or otherwise. I hope that we'll have a couple of panal discussions with accomplished writers, publishing professionals and book collectors, I'm hoping to arrange a special display by a certain local artist whom you've all heard of, and there'll be some local attractions available for your enjoyment including walks in the 230 year-old Town of Abingdon, visits to two major flea markets where *I* find great old books just about every weekend, you can, if you wish, take in a play at the world famous Barter Theater located just down the street, and if it ever stops snowing here in town I'll go out and pick out a good place for us to have a Saturday night banquet. So the focus for the Abingdon Pulp & Paperback Conference will be books, food, visiting the attractions of the beautiful southwest Virginia mountains and hanging out with other book people. I expect this to be a relatively small gathering with a mixture of local fans and folks from across the region (this is where you all come in...). I hope that many of you will be able to join us in Abingdon. Details, prices (cheap!) and so forth should be available right here and on the event website very soon. I'll let you know. As I said, I'm looking for a few more dealers of good books. If you're such a dealer, e-mail me and we'll see if we can talk you into coming to Abingdon. I'm also looking for any suggestions from any of you about other things we might do at the conference and other folks who might like to attend. I can be contacted directly at the address and phone number below. Curt Phillips Absarka_prime@comcast.net |
