Jul 1, 2025 - I will be doing the Spooktacular at the Barnes and Noble in Fredericksburg, Virginia October 11th. That may be the first official appearance (may have an early appearance for the book before its release date.) of the horror novel, Nowhere Land. For the address and times, check Appearances at a Glance.

Jun 18, 2025 - Excited to announce a micro horror fiction story of mine, It Only Happens Once, is included in the horror anthology, Dark Descent: Whispers from the Dark. The anthology was published by the English publisher, Dark Holme Publishing. Check it out at the Anthology page for the Kindle, paperback and hardback links to Amazon.

And the first review is already at Amazon for the anthology: "Wonderfully spooky stories! Perfect for a nighttime read."

Jun 2, 2025 - I wanted to announce I will be joining 198 other horror authors in a mass signing, Friday, June 13th, at Stokercon 2025. It is free and open to the public. It will be held in the Garden Pavilion at the Hilton Stamford Hotel and Executive Center, in Stamford, Connecticut. To see what other authors will be there, click here. You can bring any books of mine or any of the authors there to get signed, plus we will have books too. I think Joyce Carol Oates may not though, so you might check your local bookstore or online for any of her books.

May 27, 2025 - I will be a vendor at the Richmond Public Library's RippleCon June 28th downtown and will be returning as a vendor at the Lancaster Community Library's Author Expo on July 5th.

I will also be an author vendor for the Grimoire Academy's Gothic Market August 16 and 17, 2025 in Fredericksburg, Virginia from 12pm to 5pm both days. You have to purchase a ticket for the day or both days, for this event. If you love Halloween, folklore-themed markets & exhibitions that work to bring together various aspects of witchcraft, Halloween, horror, tarot, folklore, renaissance, couture, supernatural, strange things, & metaphysical items, love to wear horror and fantasy costumes, this is the place to be in August. And I noticed at their Facebook page, their events sell out, and right now tickets are on sale, even the one I will attend. The link for tickets is here.

May 16, 2025 - I have my schedule for StokerCon in June. I am doing a reading, sharing time with another author, Elizabeth Devecchi, on Friday, June 13th, from 2:00-2:45pm. in Glen 1.

And later that day is the mass signing in the Garden Pavilion, 4pm -6pm.

I am hoping I get in, as I am bringing some of my books, plus give away for free, copies of my only self-published novel, How the Vortex Changed My Life, since the book will be with my publisher, Dreampunk Press. So, come buy a book and get it signed, and get a free copy of How the Vortex Changed My Life, too -- while supplies last. The mass signing is open to the public, too. For address of the hotel the convention will be at, check Appearances at a Glance.

The story highlights that Christmas is a time for everyone, not just humans, as it brings together a diverse array of creatures, both natural and fantastical, to join in the celebration.
