Hugo Award-winning science fiction and fantasy author Timothy Zahn has joined the celebrity lineup for ICCC 2022 this April. Zahn has authored more than 60 novels and 100 short stories and novelettes over his more than three decades of writing science fiction.

He is best known for creating the character Grand Admiral Thrawn, who was introduced to the fandom in the “Heir to the Empire” trilogy published in 1991. That trilogy gave the world of eager Star Wars fans their first new expanded universe stories since the release of “Star Wars, Episode VII: Return of the Jedi “eight years earlier.

Most recently he took the Star Wars community storm with two new Thrawn trilogies, penned to broaden his role and influence in post Disney canon.

Zahn will sign autographs, take photos with fans, and discuss his SciFi storytelling experiences with special emphasis on the histories of the Star Wars Legends expanded universe, and new canon storylines.

Zahn is also the author of the Quadrail series, the Cobra series, and the young-adult Dragonback series.
