Horror Writers Association President Rocky Wood wants everyone to know George R. R. Martin will be Guest of Honor at the group’s 2017 Conference, “to be held from 11-14 May…at a city yet to be determined.”

“While it is unusual to announce a guest this far in advance,” Wood admitted, “We feel George R. R. Martin’s fame dictated we release this information as soon as possible. We are excited that George will spend time at our Bram Stoker Awards Weekend and participate in panels, signings, the Banquet and other convention events.”
