Stephen Euin
Cobb
…was
a Guest Author at
LibertyCon
2004
This con was a special one for Stephen.
Larry Niven has been his personal hero for
twenty-five years
and this was to be the first time
Stephen would meet him, speak with him,
and serve on a panel with him.
Stephen was excited and a little bit
nervous.
Stephen had the honor of being gently
teased by David Weber
and snickered at by Larry Niven and
Jerry Pournelle.

Generally mild-mannered, Larry Niven
told a few stories that had everyone rolling.

Being “the new guy,” Stephen was
drafted by his fellow panelists to be
moderator.
Stephen didn’t mind.
This was his first panel with Larry
Niven,
so he was pretty excited.
Besides, Stephen loves to talk almost
as much as he loves to write.

Peggy Cobb-Gregory (Stephen’s
photographer, assistant and sister)
was scheduled to be on a panel with
Mrs. Pournelle and Mrs. Niven,
but her co-panelists were unavoidably
delayed.
This being Peggy’s first panel,
Stephen sat in with her so she wouldn’t
be alone.
(Hey, what are brother’s for?)
Afterward, Stephen signed a few books.
---------------------
Jerry Pournelle asking Stephen a few
questions about
his most recent novel—Bones Burnt
Black.
As a Hard SF writer, Jerry was curious
about the technical accuracy of
Stephen’s work.
The hotel provided
LibertyCon with
trash cans shaped like
rockets
Eric Flint talking with fans in the
“smoking section” of the hotel.
(That’s right, he’s outside.)
Always a laid-back and informal speaker,
Eric was wonderfully amiable and forthcoming.
He answered questions, gave writing
advice,
and told dozens of anecdotes—all to the
delight of his fans.

Stephen’s loyal assistant
and sister:
Peggy Cobb-Gregory.

Stephen took.)
