Diann has been a featured attending author and a popular MILLENNICON®

the Science Fiction Book Club and, according to the reviews,
a fine debut to what we know will
be a long and successful career. The second book of the saga,
Echoes of Issel, is now in
bookstores. A third book is due out in 1997.
MILLENNICON® has had the honor of being several
author's first GOH experience.
We've proven to be a sort of lucky charm for them and we
predict the happy tradition will continue for Diann. Come join the fun and help us launch a GOH
for fandom.
Room Party Info
The convention activities will take place in the function space opening onto the large garden
atrium and in the atrium itself. There are 20 first floor hotel rooms located in the atrium. We
have requested these rooms be included in our room block. Ten are connecting rooms suitable
for room parties. If you are planning a room party, and would like to be in the atrium area, please
reserve your rooms early to make sure you are accommodated.
The hotel charges a corking fee for alcoholic beverages served on the premises. This fee should
be handled directly with the hotel. The hotel does not permit the posting of signs. We will
arrange for ample sign boards and easels for party and activity posting.

plaque for prominent display among your trophies. Awards will also be given for the best
costumes in several categories.
The formal masquerade occurs Saturday evening. On-stage presentations are limited to two
minutes per entry. A photo staging area will be available following the event. Registration forms
and rules are available by mail and during the convention, at the registration desk. Our secret
judges will be roaming the convention looking for the best hall costumes and awarding prizes
throughout the convention. Winners can participate in the Parade of Hall Costumes at the
