I am pleased to announce that the Engage Books imprint SF Classic is scheduled to release a special edition of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth with a foreword by SF author Mark Rich, illustrations from the original edition, historical documents on Verne, and a Map of the Journey. Also in the works is a compilation of the Science Fiction of Edgar Allan Poe, edited and with a foreword by Mark Rich.

What is VCON? VCON is the oldest Science Fiction and Fantasy convention in Canada. VCON is Vancouver's own long-running science fiction, fantasy, and gaming convention. It is an annual gathering of fans to explore and celebrate those interests we have in common, and, of course, to enjoy ourselves. Essentially, it's a weekend-long combination playing, brainstorming, and partying with friends, new and old. It's where we get together with other fans, and with the pros who inspire us all.

The Hugo Award ceremonies at Denvention 3 were amazing. The Colorado Convention Center was packed with nearly 5000 fans, artists and writers alike, and judging by the laughter, everyone was entertained. It's great when the recipients and speakers are accomplished writers and can craft entertaining speeches with ease. 
 
Engage Books would like to congratulate the Hugo winners:
