Monsters In The Mead Hall

Posted on by

I am back from GenCon, wiped out but energized after an immersive dunking in game and writing space with cool people whose orbits and mine don’t always intersect.

Big thanks to the folks who put the Writers Symposium together and for inviting me, to all the folks I paneled with on everything from portfolio reviews to writing with kindness, to the old friends at Green Ronin who helped me with housing and who continue to put out fabulous RPG products, to Toiya K. Finley for spearheading the Interdimensions anthology I’m a part of, and to all the Maurice Broadduses, Matt Forbecks, Jennifer Allaways, Jessica Goldstein Blairs, Jeremy Bernsteins, Justin Achillis and all the rest who make the experience so wonderful.

But I’m home now, and that means time to go onward. And onward indeed happens this Tuesday the 13th with the Monsters in the Mead Hall reading, put together as a cooperative effort between the Durham Public Library and the NC Chapter of the Horror Writers Association. Join me and four other esteemed writers at Moon Dog Meadery at 7 for some good old fashioned rollicking horror straight from the source.

Upcoming Appearances

The calendar has gotten quite full for the next few weeks. This past weekend was spent at the SAGA Writers Conference/ConGregate in Winston-Salem, which was a wonderful experience, but that’s just kicking things off.

This Thursday I head to New Hampshire to make my annual pilgrimage to Necon. This year, I’ll be on a panel with S.A. Cosby, Clay McLeod Chapman, Trish Wilson and Shannon Grant, moderated by the effervescent Michael Arruda, on how horror has changed since COVID. I’ll also be running a horror-themed variant on the ever-awesome Write Club – we will see if horror authors have what it takes to come up with the write stuff on the fly!

Two weeks later, I fly to Indianapolis for the magnificent chaos that is GenCon, where I will be participating in the Writers’ Symposium. As an added treat this year, I have a story in the Symposium’s anthology, Interdimensions, published by Atthis Arts!

Then the 13th of August, I join a lineup of local horror authors for Monsters In the Mead Hall, 7 PM at Moon Dog Meadery in Durham. It’s a showcase event for members of the North Carolina chapter of the HWA, and we will be bringing unseasonable chills and thrills to the heat of summer.

That Saturday is Pop!-Con down in Sanford. August 17th. I’ve never been to Sanford, but I’m looking forward to sharing my spooky stories with a new audience!

So it’s going to be a busy few weeks, but I’m looking forward to it. See you here, there and everywhere!
