Guest of Honor - Seanan McGuire
 |
MuseCon is pleased to welcome as our Guest of Honor the force of Nature known as Seanan McGuire. From poetry, painting and music to writing, there are few creative endeavors Seanan hasn't tried. Her prolific song writing and performances have garnered her 5 Pegasus awards, including two from her most recent album Wicked Girls. Her website and LiveJournal feature the semi-irregular web comic With friends like these... as well as continued appearances by Mel the Pretty Little Dead Ghoul. As an author, Seanan actually writes under two names. As Seanan McGuire, she's the author of the October Daye and Incryptid urban fantasy series and the winner of the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 2010. Writing as Mira Grant, the first book in the Newsflesh trilogy, Feed, was nominated for a Hugo Award in 2011. In 2012 she became the first woman to be nominated for 4 Hugo Awards in a single year, including one for Best Related Work for her album Wicked Girls. |

MuseCon is please to welcome back the Masters of Lightning and their musical Tesla coils. We listened to them with excitement and wonder at MuseCon2 as their Tesla coils created both music and lightning at the same time!

Special Guest - Sharon Winsauer aka CrazyLaceLady
MuseCon is extremely pleased to welcome Sharon Winsauer. Sharon has been knitting for more years than she cares to count. She learned to spin in 1996 with a drop spindle, spinning dog hair. Hand-spun black alpaca inspired her to try her hand at designing lace in 1998. Lace has become Sharon's passion. Her designs are unique, including 'picture' shawls such as Heere Be Dragone and shaped shawls like Just a Butterfly. She has over 40 published lace patterns, all unique in style and design.
