Kylo Ren and Me at Fan Expo 2018

Henry J. Bartsch from the 501st Canadian Garrison as The Last Jedi version of Kylo Ren humouring me.



There were Kylo Rens at Fan Expo 2018! Adult Kylo Rens! Men Kylo Rens! I took pictures with a couple of them. I didn't nab all of them, either because they didn't come close enough to my booth to reel them in, or my phone was charging, or they were little kids, or whatever my problem was. Sometimes I actually get shy about asking to take pictures.

Yes, big scary horror writer gets shy around people in cosplay!

Laugh all you want!

But the ones I made pose with me were very good sports about it.

Thank you, Kylo Ren Ben Solo!

Space witches ruling the Galaxy!

I was gifted my very own little Kylo mask by my son!






"Hey, Kylo! I bet I can make you forget your sister, Mary Sue, uh, I mean, Rey!"



"Okay, if she's not your sister or half-sister then she's your cousin! Search your feelings, you know it's true!"


"I'll show you the Dark Side, Kylo..."

(I believe Kylo Ren and Obi-Wan are both from the 501st Canadian Garrison as well.)


More pics from Fan Expo 2018. I didn't take a lot as I was working. I wasn't on any panels this year nor did I attend any. It was a different experience for me this year but I did well at my booth and I always enjoy watching the cosplayers wander by. Especially Star Wars and Dinosaurs. I didn't see any Planet of the Apes this year.

I'll Be at Fan Expo Canada 2018

On the steps of the Lizzie Borden Bed and Breakfast July 2018
I'll be at Fan Expo Canada this year!

My booth is L53 which is in the South Building "under the escalators."

I won't be on any panels this year as they had to cancel a few due to some flooding issues in the building.

My booth L53 will be your opportunity to get an in-person tarot card reading from me.

I will have a couple of my books on sale, limited copies so if you want one, you'd better hurry!

Captured Souls
A Penny Saved
Eternal Sunset
Group Hex 1
Group Hex 2
Abandon

My rate for tarot card reading will be $20 as always.

My rate for autographs and photos with me is free as always.

Come on by and see what the future has in store for you!

Halloween Happenings with Sèphera Girón





No automatic alt text available.

I have been invited to Vaughan Fan Con!

I will have a table where I will be reading tarot cards and selling Weird Tales of Terror! I'm giving a presentation on Ghost Hunting at 1 pm on October 21. 






On October 26, we are officially launching Group Hex 2! We are also celebrating Halloween with Drag Queens and readings at Glad Day Bookstore. The event is FREE so please come on by and listen to us creep you out for an hour or so.


Hot off the press just in time for Halloween, Group Hex 2 is finally here!




On October 27, Good Job Sally, a Toronto dance company, is holding a fund-raiser at BDX studios in Toronto at 819 Bloor Street at Yonge and Bloor. The event is FREE but is pay what you can! Since interest has already been huge, they are running two shows that night.

The show itself is a story with a few pieces choreographed by Dorian Grant and performed by members of the Good Job Sally Dance Company. There will be some raffles to help with fund-raising. Although they are performing this night a short show, the goal is to raise money to mount a full show at a proper theatre as they did last year to rave reviews.



On October 27th, get Grimm with Good Job Sally as they welcome you to their twisted fairy tale party. Find out what happens when a trickster Fairy, sly Wolf, “charming” Prince and unsuspecting Beauty get together for an evening of mystery, mischief and… murder! 

Kick off Halloween weekend with your favourite creepy, crawly dance ensemble as we perform an original mini-show just for you! With a special guest performance by the Giggle Queens (https://www.instagram.com/giggle_queens/)

Friday, October 27th
Doors open at 7pm
Show starts at 7:30pm
Pay What You Can (at the door - min $5)
BDX Studio
819 Yonge Street (Toronto)

Sponsored by BDX - Byfield Dance Experience

We'll be having a bake sale, as well as a silent auction with some fantastic prizes to bid on including:
- an 11-Week Session of Hip Hop or Tap for 2 at BDX Studio (a $700 value)
- a package of 2 Private Dance Lessons in Any Style with GJS Artistic Director, Dorian Grant (a $120 value)
- and more!

All proceeds will be going towards Good Job Sally’s sophomore theatre production set to hit the stage in late 2018.

So there you have it! Readings and dancing from some of Toronto's finest talent! Come on out or if you can't come out, consider buying a copy of Group Hex 2 and donating a buck or two to Good Job Sally!



We managed one last quick trip up to Canada's Wonderland last week before the season is over.
One day I'll get the nerve up to apply to be a tarot reader at their Halloween Haunt attractions.




The line for Vortex was too long....

Nothing says "scary" like riding Leviathan!
