Some Sad News

Our planned Writer Guest of Honor, Charles de Lint, regretfully informed us that he will be unable to attend Norwescon 40. He hopes that he will be able to join us in the future and wishes everyone a great time at the convention.

The new Writer Guest of Honor will be announced as soon as possible, so stay tuned!
