Eleanor Arnason Reading on Wed May 25th @ DreamHaven Books | Minneapolis | Minnesota | United States

On Wednesday, May 25, ELEANOR ARNASON reads from her work at 6:30 p.m. Ms. Arnason was born in Manhattan and grew up in New York, Chicago, London, Paris, Washington DC, Honolulu, Saint Paul, and Minneapolis. She received a BA in art history from Swarthmore College and did graduate work at the University of Minnesota, before quitting to learn about life outside art museums and institutions of higher learning. She made her first professional sale in 1972 while living in the Detroit inner city. Since then she has published five novels and over 30 novellas, novelettes, short stories, and experimental short forms. Her fourth novel, A Woman of the Iron People (1991), won the James Tiptree Jr Award for gender-bending science fiction and the Mythopoeic Society Award for adult fantasy. Her fifth novel, Ring of Swords (1995), won a Minnesota Book Award. Since 1994 she has devoted herself to short fiction. Her story “Dapple” won the Spectrum Award for GLBT science fiction and was a finalist for the Sturgeon Award. Other stories have been finalists for the World Fantasy, Hugo, and Nebula Awards. She lives in Minnesota, where for several years she made her living as the financial manager for a small arts nonprofit. Aside from accounting and science fiction, her interests include politics, economics, bird-watching, driving down two-lane country highways, and exploring the remains of the Great Lakes industrial belt.

Speculations is a co-production of DreamHaven Books and SF MINNESOTA, a multicultural speculative fiction organization that also hosts a midsummer SF convention, DIVERSICON, the 24th edition of which will be held July 29-31, 2016, at the Best Western Plus—Bandana Square, Saint Paul, with Guest of Honor JESSICA AMANDA SALMONSON and Special Guest NAOMI KRITZER.

Rob Callahan Reading Wed June 22nd @ DreamHaven Books | Minneapolis | Minnesota | United States

Please join us Wednesday evening on June 22nd at 6:30 PM for a reading with Rob Callahan.

Rob Callahan started working as a journalist back in the Twentieth Century. He took a break for a few years to write novels, then came back in 2009 as an arts and culture writer. His work in journalism has garnered a Marconi award, Associated Press awards, and recognition from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation. Last year, he dialed it back a bit on the journalism to focus on writing fiction again.

His next novel, Duplicity, will tell the story of an underachieving young professional temping for the Devil, who’s accidentally promoted to project manager over the impending apocalypse.

Jun 30 – Jul 3 all-day
Convergence - June 30-July 3, 2016 @ DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel | Minneapolis | Minnesota | United States

Primarily due to Convergence changing the location of the Dealers Room from the Main Hotel in the middle of everything to the basement of the hotel across the street, DreamHaven Books will not be hosting a table at this year’s convention. But we still wish everyone the best of times, and if anyone from the convention comes by the bookstore with their badge on, we would be pleased to offer them a special 20% discount on anything purchased during the show.

Please stop by and say howdy!
