It’s been awhile since I’ve exhibited at a comic-book convention—our last appearance was at 2014’s Eternal Con, out on Long Island—but I figured if I was going to make one show this year, why not make it the first New York fan gathering of 2016, the Big Apple Con?
Due to the terrible winter weather last March, I missed out on the con’s twentieth celebration, but this Saturday, March 5, StarWarp Concepts (and therefore yours truly) has every intention of being at this year’s show—weather permitting! Run by noted art dealer Michael Carbonaro, this one-day gathering of geek culture has become quite the event to attend during its two decades, its aisles filled with comic book back issues, comic creators, and media guests.
You’ll find me in artists’ alley, promoting StarWarp Concepts in general and Pan’s adventures in particular. Where will I be, precisely? Well, that’s a good question, since they don’t hand out table assignments until you get there. I guess we’ll all find out on Saturday…
The Big Apple Con is being held at the Penn Plaza Pavilion, located at 401 Seventh Avenue in Manhattan, directly across from Madison Square Garden and Pennsylvania Station. Show hours are 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. For more information, including a list of the comic creators and television actors scheduled to appear, head over to the Big Apple Con website.
Hope to see you at the show!

The Saga of Pandora Zwieback is the young adult, dark-urban-fantasy novel series that I write. It’s the story of a 16-year-old Goth girl who’s spent the last decade being treated for mental health problems because she can see monsters. It’s only after she meets a shape-shifting monster hunter named Sebastienne “Annie” Mazarin, in the first critically acclaimed novel, Blood Feud, that Pan discovers she’s never been ill—her so-called “monstervision” is actually a supernatural gift that allows her to see into Gothopolis, the not-so-mythical shadow world that exists right alongside the human world. But before Pan can learn more about what she can do, she and her parents are drawn into a conflict between warring vampire clans that are searching for the key to an ultimate weapon (or so the legend goes)—a key that just so happens to have been delivered to the horror-themed museum owned by Pan’s father.
Along with Blood Feud, on sale right now is
