What's New

Feb 9, 2026 - I will be one of the panelists for the panel, Historical Horror, Folklore, and Mythology, at Scares That Cares Authorcon V end of this month, February 28-March 1st. I will also still be an author vendor at the convention too. For tickets and what else is on the program, author guest of honors, and more, go to Authorcon V to find out.

I got the news I will be doing a book signing for my new nonfiction ghost book, Haunted Surry to Suffolk: Spooky Tales Along Routes 10 and 460 at the Barnes and Noble in Fredericksburg, Virginia on Saturday, April 4th. I may be signing other books, too. For times and address of the bookstore, check Appearances at a Glance.

I will also be speaking at ScribbleCon at Benton Middle School in Manassas, Virginia on Creepy Things that Make People Scream. Horror is not a genre, but it is mixed in all the genres people write in, from fantasy to science fiction, thrillers, mysteries, paranormal, romance, even literary. You name it, it is there. One needs the right creepy things from world building (yes, world building!) to knowledge of mythology, folklore, and legends to even what is happening in the news today to using the right emotions to pull at readers’ own, to make your novel growl and terrorize. Learn how you can do this for your own works. This one-day conference is free and open to middle schoolers and high schoolers who want to learn about becoming writers. Contact John Dutton, coordinator of ScribbleCon26 for more information plus registering for it here.

Feb 4, 2026 - Excited to announce I will be an author vendor at Fright Reads in Maryland October 24 and 25, 2026. Check Appearances at a Glance for the address of the event and the times each day, plus their website. (So, you know on the website there are two events, click the one for Fright Reads Book Festival.) And to buy tickets to attend the event here.

Jan 13, 2026 - I will be doing the Hanover Tavern ParaCon this month again, although this year they are doing it both Friday, January 30th, and Saturday the 31st. Check Appearances at a Glance for more information, like programs for the two days. I will be a vendor, with my books, both days. Friday: noon to 6pm. Saturday: 10am to 7pm.
