Bony Blithe Mini-Con Update
Tempus is fugiting [sic] in the run-up to the Bony Blithe Mini-Con on May 9, but there’s still time to register if you haven’t done so yet. Authors, note that the sooner you register, the likelier you are to be on a panel (although, covering my tush here, no guarantees for a panel assignment, but we’ll do our best).
The mini-con is on Friday, May 9, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., at The High Park Club, 100 Indian Road, Toronto. The cost is $85 with lunch and a.m. and p.m. nibblies included. Scroll down to access the registration form and instructions for payment; you need to both fill in the registration form and pay to be registered for the con.
If you’ve already registered, thank you and keep reading for a con update.

Info for Authors
- If you have an event (launch, signing, workshop, talk, etc.) in April, we’d like to include the news in Dem Bones. Send your info to info&#@64;bonyblithe.ca with “Dem Bones” in the subject line.
- We’re going to do a “mini-launch” during lunch at the con featuring books published between the last week of April and the end of May. If your book falls into this category, email us at info@bonyblithe.ca with your book title and pub date. How we do the mini-launch depends on how many books are on the list, so more info to come. (Thank you to Mike Martin, author of the Sgt Windflower series, for the mini-launch suggestion.)
- We’ll be posting a form on our Website for authors who want to sell their books on consignment at the event. The seller is not a retailer, but has sold at numerous SF cons and can accept debit and credit card. More info to come.
Consignment Table
We can sell books for you at a consignment table at the convention. Please use the consignment form to let us know what books you are bringing. There is a 25% consignment fee on book sales at the table to cover our expenses. Contact us if you have any uestions.Info for Everyone
Whether you’re an author or primarily a reader, you probably have great ideas for panels, either topics you want to speak to as an author or topics you want to hear discussed. So send your ideas to info@bonyblithe.ca with BB panel ideas in the subject line. We won’t be able to use all of them for panels, but we’ve been receiving a lot of suggestions that will make some very interesting articles for Dem Bones. So go wild, folks!
