We have another fantastic author announcement for this year's convention. This will be Dan Arman's first year with us and we welcome him to ConCoction!! 
​
Dan R. Arman grew up reading science fiction masters like Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov and also enjoyed reading about history and science. Let’s not kid ourselves, he read everything he could get his grubby little hands on.

Mr. Arman teaches English Composition at Stark State College in Ohio. For several years, he worked as a newspaper reporter, an editor and also taught at an online high school. He holds a master’s degree in English literature and rhetoric from Kent State University.

​When he’s not reprimanding his two cats, and binge-watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer with his fiancée, he enjoys bike riding and gardening.

You asked for it - Sunday Hall Pass is here!

1/21/2016

In the last two years of our members-only convention you've been asking us for an option for people to be able to come in and visit just the Exhibit Hall, Artshow, and Author Alley, for those that just want to network and shop and *not* attend all the amazing panels, workshops, meet & greets, gaming, consuite, parties, and other things ConCoction has to offer. 

You asked, and we listened.
This year we are trying out a Sunday-only "Hall Pass" limited membership that will allow access to those three areas only. "Hall Pass" attendees will still need to come to the Registration area to sign in & get their pass, but from there they can peruse the Artists, Authors & Vendors until the end of the show. 

This option will not be available on any other day of the convention. It will only be available on Sunday from the time Registration opens (10am) until the shows close (3pm).

​Stop in, grab a Hall Pass membership this year, and then check us out and consider coming back for the full convention in 2017!

2016 Hotel / Party Liaison update! 

1/14/2016

Exciting news here from our Hotel/Party Liaison! 

We are very pleased to announce that Dog Star Books will be having a Release Party for two of their newest offerings on Friday night at Cleveland ConCoction 2016. Many of their authors will be attendance, but you can be sure to meet Heidi Ruby Miller, whose newest book "STARRIE," (which is part of her Ambassadors Series) will be one of the featured offerings.
The other new and cool thing to find at this party is Matt Betts' science fiction poetry collection, which goes by the name of "Underwater Fistfight." I don't know what an underwater fistfight would be like, and I bet that neither do you. 

Stop by this party in the Sheraton's A Wing on Friday night to find out!!!

2016 Exhibit Hall vendor announcements

We have so many fantastic vendors signed up for this year's convention!! 

Just to give you a preview, we'll have... 

Hrothgar's Hoard 
"​Hrothgar's Hoard is dedicated to making high quality gaming accessories for tabletop games.​ Using both domestic and exotic hardwoods, Hrothgar's Hoard specializes in chests, dice towers, cases for miniatures and other accessories. Look for us at gaming conventions throughout the mid-west." 

Renaissance Fashions 
"Renaissance Fashions prides itself of carrying items made by artists we personally know. If we don't make it ourselves, we've been to the artists workshop and seem the production process from start to finish. We know every product inside and out. Each item in our store  meets our stringent quality standards and is something unique."

Dazzling Knits & Jewels
"
It all started with a girl and a pair of needles. I've always loved to make things. It's a great gift to be able to take something raw and make it into a beautiful creation. I've always made Christmas and birthday gifts for family members and friends because I think something handmade to way better to receive than something store bought. So I wanted to share what I can make with the world and see where it can take me." 

Click the Vendor's Shop Name above to see their website OR go to our Exhibit Hall Page to see even more vendors that will be at ConCoction 2016!!
