Mike Resnick is a long-time fan and the author of Ivory,
Paradise, and Santiago. He won the Hugo award
last year for "Kirinyaga," and was nominated again
this year for "For I Have Touched the Sky," which
is also a Nebula nominee. He and his wife Carol
raise dogs in Ohio when they aren't in Africa,
researching more books. Mike is a well-known
toastmaster on the midwest con circuit, and will
bring his quick wit to the Saturday night banquet.
Ed Emsh was the artist for many Galaxy magazines, and won
several Hugo awards for best artist back in the
Fifties. Ed died of cancer this summer, but we
plan to have a restrospective of his art, and a
panel about his contributions to the field.
Brian Thomsen is a major force in SF publishing as the editor of
Warner-Questar books. He was the publisher of
Watchmen, the illustrated novel which won the Hugo
for Best Other Form at Nolacon. Brian makes his
home in New York.

The New England Regional Science Fiction Convention
Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place and
Springfield Marriott Hotels, Springfield, MA
February 15--17, 1991
Mike Resnick Ed Emsh Brian Thomsen
Guest of Honor Official Artist Special Guest
Boskone has sold out the art show, the bazaar, has planned tracks of
interesting program, and has a few surprises in store. Boskone 28 will
start off Friday night with a Meet-the-VIPs party in the Springfield
Marriott, and will end up Sunday night with story-telling by the camp fire
in the Sheraton Monarch Place. There will be lots of activities and panels
along the way. Did you ever want to see how a writer pitches a novel to a
publisher, and how a book contract is developed? Learn about how aspects
of African tribal culture can be used in science fiction? Hear about
neglected authors like Diana Wynne Jones, E.E. Smith, and James Blish?
Find out about the current explosion of fairy tales being retold as adult
fantasy? Join a guided tour of the art show? Experience the fannish
inquisition? These are just a few of the panels we've planned for the next
Boskone.
Confirmed Boskone program participants include Roger MacBride Allen, Lisa
Barnett, Tom Canty, Jeffrey Carver, Hal Clement, Bruce Coville, Tom
Doherty, John Douglas, Tom Easton, Lori Edison, Bob Eggleton, Moshe Feder,
Esther M. Friesner, Greer Gilman, Steven Gould, David Hartwell, Jeff
Hecht, Peter Heck, Franklin Hummel, Jane Jewell, Anne Jordan, Michael
Kandel, Tom Kidd, Ellen Kushner, Laura J. Mixon, Patrick Neilsen Hayden,
Teresa Neilsen Hayden, J.F. Rivkin, Darrell Schweitzer, Melissa Scott,
Delia Sherman, Susan Shwartz, David A. Smith, Sarah Smith, Allen Steele,
Judith Tarr, Michael Whelan, Sheila Williams, and Jane Yolen.
