Auntie’s online campaign for George R.R. Martin

Theresa Tanner

Worldcon 2015 is less than a month away, and Auntie's Bookstore is getting psyched with an online campaign to entice George R.R. Martin to stop by their store during his trip to Spokane for the 73rd World Science Fiction Convention.

The local bookstore is requesting that fans and followers use #SpokaneLovesGRRM on social media to show their appreciation for the A Song of Fire and Ice scribe. Participants are also eligible to win prizes from Auntie's Bookstore and Uncle's Games.

The lineup of science fiction and fantasy authors for "Sasquan"—a nickname for this year's convention inspired by the notorious Northwest cryptid—includes guests of honor Brad Foster, David Gerrold, Vonda N. McIntyre, Tom Smith and Leslie Turek, plus a special guest aboard the International Space Station, via remote, NASA Astronaut Dr. Kjell Lindgren.

Visit Sasquan.org for convention details.
