This post is going to differ from my previous panels as it is from the literary track.  The topic of this panel is Outline or Doubtline and discusses the uses and techniques for outlining a story/novel/idea.  It is a panel dedicated more to the technical side of writing.

I had the pleasure of sitting on this panel with author Gil Hough, author & podcaster Jim Hodgson, and writer of comics, video games, and novels, Dan Jolley.  Please click on each of their names and check out their stuff.  I assure you they are all immensely talented writers and have some good stuff out there for you.

And without further ado, below is the audio from our panel.

Once again, I was asked to be part of Scary Story Time at Connooga.  This is a panel that is a lot of fun to attend or participate in.  Several panelists will share either real encounters they have had with things that are unexplained or frightening and as you will here, it is an opportunity for some writers to share their recent efforts.

I was joined on this panel by Hope Holloway an actress, writer, and the dark princess of Dark Princess Theatre, and Chad Sides, Connooga’s horror director.  We had a good time, and I hope that you enjoy listening to these tales of terror, tragedy, and spine-tingling fun.

This was my first panel at Connooga this year: IT: The Horror of Stephen King.  I had the great fun of sitting on this one with Chad Sides, Master of Horror at Connooga, and Tim Green, builder of haunts (including Ruby Falls’ Haunted Caverns).  As we always try to do on horror track panels, this one has a lot of audience participation.  I apologize for some of the poor audio quality, I am working with a small microphone and a MP3 recorder.

I hope you enjoy the audio below and check back again tomorrow for another panel, Scary Story Time.

Connooga 2018 Wrap-up

Hello everybody!  I’m back from another great year at Connooga.  First, let me start by apologizing to anyone that came out on Saturday to see me.  I came down with a bad case of food poisoning late Friday night, and it knocked me out of commission for all of Saturday.  Other than that, the show was great.

It’s always nice to get to see my con buddies and sit in on some great panels.  I will be posting the audio from these panels throughout the week.  I got to hang out with one of my favorite writers, Brian Keene, who is just the best guy if you ever have a chance to meet him.  It was also great to see my other writer friends, Kenyon T. Henry and Philip Ligon.

My favorite part of course is getting to meet all the awesome people who come out to the show.  I saw a lot of familiar faces and was able to meet a lot of new people as well.  To everyone that came out this weekend and stopped by to say hello, thanks.  Sorry, I wasn’t able to be there on Saturday.  Check back everyday this week for the audio from the panels I was able to be a part of to hear some of the fun that we had.  Thanks, and we’ll see you next year Connooga.

Hello all.  I hope your new year is off to a fantastic start.  I have several different irons in the fire that I will tell you about as the year goes on, but for now let me tell you about my first show this year.

I will be at Connooga from February 23-25 in Chattanooga, TN.  If you’ve never been to this show, it is a lot of fun.  Unlike a lot of shows this is multi-fandom, meaning comics, anime, pop culture, Game of Thrones, Star Trek, Star Wars, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, cosplay, horror, scifi, and fantasy are all welcome and will be represented.  I will have copies of my books for sale, and am super-excited to be at the show with Bram Stoker award winner Brian Keene.

I hope that you guys can make it out to this fun show, and I’ll post my panel schedule once it’s finalized.  If you can’t make it out in February, don’t worry I have other shows that I’ll be doing this year but more on that as they get closer.

Enjoy and hope to catch you in 2018.

Good morning all, I wanted to thank everyone that came by at Atlanta Steampunk Exposition (ASE) and picked up a book.  This was the show’s first year, and it was a great show.  We saw a lot of great, top-tier cosplay, and I had the opportunity to meet some great independent authors like myself.

Here are just two examples of the cosplay that was on display.

If you are a fan of steampunk fiction, this was the con for you.  ASE had a lot of great authors, and I was able to pick up some books.  You can click on any of the covers below to pick up the books that I added to my library this weekend.

ASE 2017 was a success in my opinion.  A lot of people attended and everyone appeared to have a great time.  We have received confirmation that they will be doing a second show in 2018.  If possible, I hope to be a part of it.  Thank you very much to everyone that came out, if you weren’t able to make it, I hope to see you at another show sometime soon.
