callistra | KSP Mini-con is on tomorrow! And you're all invited!

If you're in Perth and love spec fic, don't miss out on the KSP MiniCon... lots of creative talent (writers and editors) will be up at the Katherine Susannah Prichard Writers Centre on Greenmount Hill this Sunday. Discussion panels, readings, food, city views and lots of laughs. What more could you want on a Sunday in Spring? My speculative fiction group has worked hard to organise this. Special thanks go to Satima and Helen.
