Our latest guest

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

With thanks to Garth Nix for his assitance, Conflux 4 is also going to be graced by the presence of Jonathan Strahan. Jonathan is one of the pre-eminent editors in the world, well respected and admired with a finger on the pulse of what’s happening in speculative fiction all over. We’re delighted that Jonathan is coming, he’s a valued addition to what is now a fantastic line-up of guests (not to mention the amazing authors, editors and fans coming as members, people like Karen Miller, Richard Harland, Maxine McArthur, Keith Stevenson and members of the ASIM crew). If you miss Conflux 4, you’ll be kicking yourself for years (after I’m finished with you, of course :) )

New guests

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Conflux 4 is proud to announce that Kevin J Anderson and Rebecca Moesta will be joining us in Canberra in September. Kevin is the author with Brian Herbert of the Dune prequel series, his Jedi Academy trilogy were the top selling sci-fi books in 1994 and his X-Files books were voted some of the best sci-fi books of their years. He’s currently writing the Saga of the Seven Stars series. With wife Rebecca, he wrote the 14 book Young Jedi Knights series. Rebecca has written a number of movie and television tie-in novels, including Buffy and Star Gate.

We’re really excited to have Rebecca and Kevin coming along. Conflux is definitely the place to be at the end of September.

Welcome 2007

Monday, January 1st, 2007

2006 has passed, 2007 is here, the year of Conflux 4!

We’re ready to throw ourselves into the organising of the con. In particular, work on the Regency Banquet is moving apace, with recipes being tested left, right and centre. If you’re interested in testing recipes, go to www.foodpast.com and have a chat to Conflux’s very own historian and culinary genius Gillian Polack. If, like me, your thoughts have already turned to your costume, look out for some links to some great sites, coming soon to the Conflux website.

 The first progress report will be out later in the month, and it’s going to be a great read, with information, interviews and more. Make sure you don’t miss it. It will go up on the website in February.

And look out soon for announcements on the film festival and art show. Yep, Conflux will be the place to be in 2007.

 Have a great year!

Nicole
