World Horror Convention Appearances
I’m delighted to report that I’ll be participating in two panels at the World Horror Convention next week in Salt Lake City. Writing for RPGs and Video Games – Saturday at 2:00 p.m. H.P. Lovecraft: the Short Stories – Sunday at 11:00 a.m. This will be my first trip to World Horror, so I’m really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a jam-packed four days.
