Last year, the convention drew a crowd of around 5000. This year, I'm expecting a much larger crowd, especially since both hotels sold out so fast.
As I've mentioned before, I'll be doing two readings at the convention: Saturday, September 3 (10:00am – 10:30am) and again on Sunday, September 4 (11:00am – 11:30am). Both readings will be held outside, underneath the carport at the rear of the Wyndham Gettysburg Hotel.
I'll be reading from my forthcoming children's novel EVE HALLOWS AND THE BOOK OF SHRIEKS. Here's a brief descriptions of the book:
For fourteen-year-old Eve Hallows, life can be summed up in one word—horrible. She has the most horrible friends. She lives in a horrible old castle. Even her family is a bunch of horrible monsters.
However, in the monster-inhabited world of Gravesville—a world where messages are sent through Ouija boards, jack-o’-lanterns get facials to suit their moods, and the worst thing Eve has to deal with are those annoying zombie tourists who overrun her favorite graveyard during the Halloween season—horrible means wonderful. And everything for Eve is perfectly horrible.
But her life is about to go head over heels when a mysterious group known as The Source starts terrorizing Gravesville. Now she must move to the human world—where everything is opposite ... and for Eve, that's absolutely adorable!
Besides the readings, I'll also be giving away a limited number of special prizes--though you'll have to wait until the convention to find out what they are. I will say the story focuses heavily on Halloween, and since this is Horrorfind Weekend, expect the prizes to be, well, spooky.
Hope to see you there!
