StokerCon and RavenCon this weekend

It saddens me a little that I am not able to attend StokerCon in Long Beach, CA this weekend. I always enjoy seeing friends and colleagues and catching up, talking shop and talking craft. But I’m afraid that post-surgery I am just not up to that kind of cross-country trip from the east to the west coast. So I will be watching the social media posts with a bit of longing and I will tune into the live feed of the awards banquet. Certainly, I wish all the finalists the best of luck in their respective categories and, yes, I will be pulling for Gutted: Beautiful Horror Stories in the anthology category! It’s really just an honor to be part of it.

That said, I will be attending RavenCon in Williamsburg, VA again this year as a guest. I have a pretty light schedule this year thanks to the consideration of the staff, so here it is:

FRIDAY

5pm: “Where Do You Get Your Ideas?” panel discussion

12 Midnight: “My Favorite Horror” panel discussion

SATURDAY

10am: “Editing 101  How to Revise” panel discussion

2pm: Book Reading

4pm: “Realistic Dialogue”

When I am not participating in one of the above events, you can probably find me in the vendor room at the HWA-Virginia Chapter tables.

If you see me, come say hello!
