About JordanCon

JordanCon V: “Tar Va'Con”

JordanCon is a fantasy literature convention founded in honor of the late author, Robert Jordan. Jordan was the author of the best selling The Wheel of Time series. JordanCon features six tracks of simultaneous programming, a Dealers Hall, an Art Show featuring original art by a variety of artists, and charity events benefiting the Mayo Clinic. Past guests have included Harriet McDougal, Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Sam Weber, David Wong, Jana G. Oliver, Emilie Bush, David B. Coe and Eugie Foster.

In 2013, we are hosting the fifty-first DeepSouthCon, the Southeast's premiere regional convention for fans of genre literature. Our Author Guest of Honor is Seanan McGuire, author of the best-selling "October Daye" urban fantasy series, and a progenitor of the Hugo Award-winning "The SF Squeecast." Seanan was also the winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, and her novel Feed was named as one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2010. Our Artist Guest of Honor will be known to fans of The Wheel of Time for his evocative cover art for the final book, A Memory of Light. To everyone else he will be known for being Michael Whelan, the only living artist to have been inducted in the SF Hall of Fame, winner of 15 Hugo Awards (SF’s Oscar), 3 World Fantasy Awards, and 13 Chesleys from the Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Artists.
