Con or Bust!

1 more week to bid on great stuff at Con or Bust to help fans and writers of color attend speculative fiction conventions, including a tea cosy and some story critquing by our own deliasherman, a "Lost Steersman" hand-bound journal by her fellow-Genrette Rosemary Kirstein, a signed copy of the first edition hardcover of Pamela Dean's novel The Dubious Hills, a Josephine Baker figurative stool made by Sheree Renée Thomas , and o so much more.

I've not put anything up yet - Suggestions? (And my postcard pals - I have not forgotten! Just, well, distracted.  Ping me if you're getting annoyed.  Grin if you have faith!)

I also like this post about it, re-posted by shveta_thakrar.

See you at Wiscon!
