2016 Appearances

Hey there, everybody!  I'm a bit late getting to this post this year (I'll have to start making a note to do it early in January) but I didn't want to interrupt Women in Horror Month for it.  So hopefully nobody that wanted to attend missed Farpoint - but I also announce my appearances on Twitter and Facebook.

So, in case it's not readily obvious, red entries are events that I attended in the past.  I don't list any tentative events here - these are all confirmed.  I have my own personal tentative list and as that changes I will update this list, so make sure to check back periodically for updates.

If you'd like me to make an appearance at a convention or other event you're organizing or attending, feel free to contact me and we'll discuss it.  Most events in Baltimore or Philadelphia are a slam dunk for me to attend, but I'll consider travelling if invited.
