As reported in a recent post, I was a guest on Galactic Terrors, a monthly reading series on YouTube. Hosted by James Chambers and Carol Gyzander from the Horror Writers Association New York Chapter, I had the honor of being part of the Thursday, October 13 program that included authors Michael Arnzen and Steven Van Patten. In case you missed seeing the program live, the recording is available on YouTube:

If you are on the go, consider listening to Fan2Fan podcast where I was a guest with Joshua Pruett and show host Bernie to discuss the 1979 horror sci-fi classic, PHANTASM directed by Don Coscarelli. Such a fun and in depth conversation. I’m looking forward to future opportunities to discuss other films. Here’s a link to that conversation:

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:

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.
