Local Hero Press at COSine Science Fiction Convention!

The place where the magic happens.
The place where the magic happens.

The entire staff of Local Hero Press (plus an intern!) spent the weekend at COSine Science Fiction Convention in Colorado Springs, pimping our existing books, our upcoming works, and making special mention of the Pen & Cape Society! We had a grand old time with some longtime fans of science fiction and fantasy. We gave away a book in a raffle! We handed out a ton of bookmarks! We saw some very cool fabrication projects and met some great artists as well. If you haven’t been to a Con before, we highly recommend it. LHP will be at several events in 2015. Up next is GalaxyFest over the last weekend of February, also in Colorado Springs. Mark it on your calendars and plan to be there. It’s going to be big. Really big. You won’t want to miss it!

What we learned:

  • There are nerds, and then there are NERDS. And they’re all awesome.
  • Hotel Elegante in Colorado Springs has a really good breakfast and brunch buffet.
  • You can’t get Blonde Roast in the coffee shop, much to their detriment.
  • Everything is awesome.
