Horror-Rama and October Tarotscopes

Here are the Tarotscopes for the week of October 14, 2016.

This weekend you can find me at Horror-Rama reading tarot. I'm right beside the Horror Writers Association booth.

Horror-Rama takes place this weekend at the Hyatt Hotel (370 King Street West) in Toronto.

This is the third year for Horror-Rama! I've been a vendor at all of them and always have a great time. There are great vendors, movies, and panels. It's two days of all horror, all the time!

Come on down and check it out!

Over the past month, I had a few adventures.

I was insanely busy at Fan Expo. I had a tarot reading booth in the Horror section. I was on five panels and organized six. They all went very well I thought.

I wasn't sure what to expect with my personal panels but I had magnificent turnouts for both my Ghost Hunting panel and the Tarot101 panel. I let some people share ghost stories at the end of the Ghost Hunting panel. There were some pretty creepy ones! People loved touching the Scorching Ball at my Tarot101 panel even though it was pretty cold that day because of the air-conditioning. But I'm sure I captured enough souls to propel me forward for my next adventures!

"What Scares You?" HWA ONT panel moderated by Richard S. Todd with panelists Sèphera Girón, Nancy Kilpatrick, Suzanne Church, Stephanie Bedwell-Grime, and Brian Clement.

Ariana was swamped with readings for four days! It was great fun!

Author Matt Patterson came by to see Ariana. 

 Greg Lamberson was autographing at the Medallion Booth!

Tonya Liburd is a happy host at the HWA ONT booth! 

"So You Want to Be a Horror Writer?" HWA ONT panel hosted by Richard, with Sèphera, Suzanne, Lou Rera, Nancy Kilpatrick, and Stephanie Bedwell-Grimes.

 Bill Snider and Suzanne Church welcome people to the HWA ONT booth.

The Sunday morning corset panel! 

HWA had a panel opposite my corset panel but I managed to sneak a pic as they were wrapping up.

On a nice day in September, I went to the Toronto Library to see Richard S. Todd give a presentation about self-publishing. He's a great speaker and the audience seemed to enjoy his ideas.

The Editor's Desk

On a lovely evening in September, I attended the nEvermore launch.

On the last weekend in September, there was a city-wide event called Culture Days. I had my photo taken by the Nuit Blanche exhibitors. It might be on display at Nathan Philip Square during Nuit Blanche but I'll be in Buffalo.

Recently I had the pleasure of meeting one of my childhood idols, Judy Blume. Scratch another one off my bucket list.

Judy gave a lovely talk at the Toronto Reference Library followed by a multi-hour book signing event.

I went with childhood friend, Sara. I can't think of a better way to spend an evening!

In other crazy writer news, Nick Cutter has a new book out called The Acolyte from Chizine Publications.

There's a promo going around about it and you can have fun burning yourself in effigy as well. Go on, I dare you!
