I'm excited to announce I'll be making an appearance at the Scares That Care AuthorCon in Williamsburg, VA this March 29th. Mr. Craig Brownlie, the fine gentleman that he is, has graciously allowed me to hang out at his table for the day. I'll have a number of prints available, some original artwork, and of course I'll be happy to sign your copy of A BOOK OF PRACTICAL MONSTERS. Hope to see you there!

Be sure to check it out for yourself in the upcoming issue of Space & Time Magazine.
