Scary Fairy Tale

I'm very excited about the upcoming 2009 Stoker Awards Weekend in Burbank, California. The convention runs from June 12th to the 14th. It will be a wonderful opportunity to meet and network with all kinds of writers, editors, and publishers in the horror genre, but I am especially looking forward to meeting Vince Liaguno for the first time in the flesh. We have been horror collaborators for almost three years, and we have never met face to face. Most recently, we co-edited the queer horror anthology that is named after this website, Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet. Vince and I are nominated for a Stoker Award in the "Superior Achievement in an Anthology" category.

I am very honored to be nominated for this award, and I am very grateful to Vince and all of the amazing writers who contributed to the anthology.

I just ordered my new business cards to give out at the convention! They look awesome!

Vince and I will be signing the anthology at the Dark Delicacies kick-off signing on Thursday the 11th.

I will also be on a couple of panel discussions. I am very excited to be participating in these.  I think they will be very interesting. On Friday the 12th at 2 pm, I will be on the panel "Editing an Anthology" with Bill Breedlove, R. J. Cavender, Ellen Datlow, Stephen Jones, and Vince A. Liaguno. At 4 pm, I will be on the panel "GLBT in Horror" with Maria Alexander, Hal Bodner, and Vince A. Liaguno.

I hope to see you in Burbank.  Make sure to get one of my cool new business cards!
