I make no secret about how much I enjoy attending Shore Leave, a convention I have been attending since its third show lo so many years ago. I’m back, along with scads of authors, artists, scientists, and media guests. It’s a robust and diverse lineup. As usual, I will be on panels, moderate several media panels, and sit at the Crazy 8 Press table.
I’m debuting Thrilling Adventure Yarns 2026 at the show, and it goes live on Amazon for purchase on Friday. Also arriving at the con is Cases by Candlelight Vol. 5, where I once again spin a Sherlock Holmes story, as do Hildy Silverman, Aaron Rosenberg, and Christopher D. Abbott.
For anyone attending, here’s where you can find me:
