Today's random featured guest:Colin Smythe

Colin Smythe

Even if Colin Smythe was not Terry Pratchett's agent and publisher, he would be a wonderfully good guest for this convention. Since founding Colin Smythe Ltd in 1966 (three years after graduating from Trinity College in Dublin), Colin has become one of the most important publishers of Celtic literature on the planet. Titles like Lady Gregory's Cuchulain of Muirthemne and Gods and Fighting Men, W. B. Yeats' The Celtic Twilight and Fairy and Folk Tales of Ireland and Micheál Mac Liammóir's The Importance of Being Oscar speak for themselves. Add to this Colin's fascination with the paranormal, his long-standing love of SF and Fantasy, and his charming and debonair manner, and you have one of the most versatile guests a convention could wish for.
