Fan2Fan Podcast
A while back I had the pleasure of talking with Bernie at Fan2Fan Podcast about all things James Bond including the secret agent’s history and influence in film, literature, fashion, and culture at large. We also discussed the spy’s enduring as well as evoking legacy. The discussion was posted in two parts:
Galactic Terrors – Thursday, October 13, 2022
The Horror Writers Association New York Chapter hosts a monthly reading series on YouTube. I’m excited to share that I’ll be a guest on their Thursday, October 13 show starting at 8 PM EST, and I will be reading an excerpt from my paper, “Beauty in the Grotesque: Bernie Wrightson’s Lifelong Obsession with Frankenstein’s Monster” which will be published in a collection of non-fiction essays in 2023. Below is a link to the YouTube channel. Please check out their archives!
CoKoCon 2022
I would like to thank organizers, Hal C. F. Astell and Dee Astell, for inviting me to be a panelist on two panels: Horror & Sci-Fi from Pre-Code Films and Swords, Sandals, Sorcery, and Other Planets. Our conversations were insightful and hopefully entertaining; we definitely had great audience participation via their engaging questions. I haven’t attended a convention since January 2020, so I appreciated CoKoCon’s diligence to maintain a healthy environment for attendees. Additionally, I felt warmly welcomed by dealer room merchants, volunteers, and attendees who were all friendly and sincerely passionate about the sci-fi/fantasy (and horror) genres. I know this convention will be on my list to attend next year.
If you didn’t get a chance to go, here’s this year’s convention programming and guests: CoKoCon 2022.
