Loscon 51 Writer Guest of Honor, Ursula Vernon, aka T. Kingfisher is the author and illustrator of far more projects than is probably healthy. She has written over fifteen books for children, at least a dozen novels for adults, an epic webcomic called “Digger” and various short stories and bits.

Free shuttle to the airline of your choice/Hilton shuttle to the hotel.

3: Uber/Lyft if you can
