Weβre just two weeks away from AuthorCon VI in Williamsburg, VA!
Hereβs my schedule for panels & readings. Iβll also be serving as a judge for this yearβs Gross-out Contest. If you know me, you can probably expect plenty of animated facial expressions because I have no poker face.

Goodbye to a great actress π
(Iβm wearing sunglasses because Iβm
in mourning, David)
Catherine OβHara is and will always be one of my all-time favorite actresses, and I was really hoping todayβs news was just a hoax. Iβm absolutely gutted to hear of her passing.π

Beaβs story in This is How a Villain is Made will unsettle and move you as it lays bare the struggles of women in a way that cuts deep. While set in the past, its themes echo powerfully today, perhaps louder than ever.
