\"\"<\/a>It\u2019s true. And if you were at Horror Realm <\/a>this weekend, you can vouch for me.<\/p>\n

But the real highlight for me was the chance to get together with people like Chris Rickert of Eljay\u2019s Books <\/a>(the best bookstore in Pittsburgh), Paul Anderson and Eric Beebe of Post Mortem Press<\/a>, and writers like the Rhysling-Award <\/a>nominee Stephanie Wytovich. It wasn’t hard to pick us out amid the zombie hoards.<\/p>\n

This was my second time as a featured guest at Horror Realm, back on the heels of the one-day version of\u00a0the con\u00a0back in March, and I definitely hope to return again next year. Highly recommended!<\/p>\n

Up next is Context<\/a> in Columbus, Ohio, where I\u2019ll be conducting the following workshops:<\/p>\n

Monster Wrangling<\/strong> <\/a>(Friday, September 28th, 6pm-7:30pm), in which we\u2019ll consider effective ways of anticipating, revealing, and depicting monster by examining scenes from some genre classics and proposing a set of guidelines for describing the indescribable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Endings and Beginnings<\/a><\/strong> (Saturday, September 29th, 7pm-8:30pm), in which we\u2019ll examine patterns for effective opening and closing sentences, paragraphs, scenes, and chapters — all\u00a0based on successful works of genre literature.<\/p>\n

As a literary convention, Context is the perfect way to wind down after a zombie-infested weekend at Horror Realm. I\u2019m definitely looking forward to sitting in on some panels and talking shop with writing friends Maurice Broaddus<\/a>, Michael Knost<\/a>, Maria V. Snyder<\/a>, Tim Waggoner<\/a>, and others.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anywhere near Columbus next weekend, I\u2019ll hope to see you there!<\/p>\n
