Just a Reminder: Rotter Apocalypse, Apocalypse Nana Radio, and Spooky Empire All in One Week

I wanted to remind everyone that Rotter Apocalypse, the final book in the Rotter World trilogy, is being released this Thursday, 30 October. The Kindle version is available for pre-order here. I will also be announcing a Goodreads giveaway of Rotter Apocalypse to accompany its release.

Also on Thursday night, I'll be making a return appearance on the Apocalypse Nana Online Radio show to discuss one of the most popular conspiracy theories of all time -- whether the United States actually landed astronauts on the moon in 1969.

Then, from this Friday until Sunday, 30 October to 1 November, I'll be at Spooky Empire in Orlando. This is going to be a kick-ass event this year with special writer appearances by authors such as Zac Brewer, Roger Ma, Scott Kenemore, Mitch Hyman, and many more as well as media guests including George Romero, Malcolm McDowell, and Tony Todd. For anyone who will be there and wants to say hello, my panel and book signing schedule is here.

And, as promised, next week I plan on making the announcement about the special news I hinted at earlier this week. The next seven days are going to be busy, so be sure to check in frequently so you don't miss anything.

My Panel and Book Signing Schedule at Spooky Empire

As you know, I'll be attending Spooky Empire this 30 October to 1 November at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Orlando, Florida. I won't have my own table this time, but will be sharing one with several of the other incredible writers who are attending. My scheduled book signing times are Friday from 8-9 PM and Saturday from 7-8 PM. But I'll be stalkin... er, hanging around all weekend, so if you swing by the table and I'm not there, and you want to chat or have me autograph a book, just let the person who is there know and they'll text me to swing on by.

As of now, I'll be sitting on several of the panels scheduled throughout the weekend. Below is the tentative schedule:

Friday, 30 October

7-8 PM      #scotthorde -- Me, Scott Kenmore, Scott Marlowe, and Scott Poole tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the
                  great Scotts.

9-10 PM    Sick and Twisted -- Veterans of these panels know just how sick and twisted they get. Remember, I'm the guy who goes
                  into that panel with a consensual tentacle sex story under his belt (innuendo intended).


Saturday, 31 October

12-1 PM    The Author's Network -- This is an open forum where fans get to meet and chat up their favorite writers.

3-4 PM      Down With the Sickness -- A look into how disease spreads.

5-6 PM      Campfire Stories -- A paranormal story hour.


Sunday, 1 November

11 AM-12 PM     Sympathy for the Devil -- Writers analyze the rise of the sympathetic monster/villain, how much (if any) sympathy
                 a monster/villain needs, and the re-imaging of classic villains in modern media.

I'm really excited about this weekend, and hope to see a lot of you there.

I Will Not Be Attending Spooky Mayhem 15-17 May

Unfortunately, due to personal circumstances beyond my control, I will not be able to attend Spooky Mayhem in Orlando on the weekend of 15-17 May. I feel really bad about this because I love the Spooky conventions, and some awesome people show up at these. 

I still will be attending the Walker Stalker Convention in Orlando 27-28 June, Spooky Empire in October, and the Champion City Comic Con in November.
