Convention season is upon us once more. For me, that starts this weekend with RavenCon. In a few days I’ll be putting the stresses of the past few months aside and heading to Williamsburg, Virginia for three days of panels, readings, workshops, and other fun. I missed last year’s RavenCon in the press to get The Perils of Prague published, so I’m looking forward to heading back this year. If you’ll be at the con, here’s where to find me:
Friday

THE EYE OF ARGON

This crazy story is a RavenCon favorite, and we’re dragging this monstrosity back in to the light for another hilarious live read.

Midnight
THE WHO, THE WHAT, AND THE HUH OF KINK
Room E – 50 minutes
If you are curious about or new to the world of kink, this is a panel for you (and you are not the only one). It doesn’t matter if you think you are a sub, a dom, switch or if you have no idea, come to the panel. Listen to and ask questions of longtime members of the kink community in a non-judgmental environment. This is a basic level, introductory panel. 18+ only. ID checks will happen.
Panelists: Doc Coleman, Patticakes
