Attention northern SF fans! Blogger Alasdair Stuart is here to remind you to get your convention tickets now

If you're a fan of Richard Morgan, Suzanne McLeod, John Meaney, Mark Charan Newton, Kate Griffin, Mike Carey (and who isn't a fan of Mike Carey?), Adrian Tchaikovsky, Freda Warrington or Justina Robson you need to be in Leeds on Saꦇturday 12 March 2011. That's where ConJour 2011 will take place; all those authors will be present as well as lots more top-flight panels, retailers and signings. It's a new event and it's nice to see an event get such a great set of guests straight out of the gate.

Except there's a problem. The tickets, despite being only £25 before 1 December, are sel💫ling slowly and there's a real chancℱe of cancellation if more people don't sign up soon.

£25 (the cost of a pizza*) gets you brag🐻ging rights about being at the first of a major n♎ew convention, gets you access to the panels, to the show, to the atmosphere which is unique to conventions, gets you access to some of the best authors working today.

If there's even a single author on that list, if you're in the area and have never attended a con be✤fore, if you just fancy a day out, plan to head to Leeds on 12 March 2011. Head over to and book it, you won't be disappointed.

This is a personal recommendation by blogger Alasdair Stuart. After Alasdair submitted this, author Andy Remic was confirmed too. For more information about Leeds' ConJour event visit . The event is supported by Tor books. Don't forget that tickets are now on sale for too.
