Appearances

 

2023

Between sporadic health issues, I have had to skip all conventions. cry May be able to go to a few in 2024? We’ll see!

2022

Between COVID and sporadic health issues, I’ve had to skip all conventions. cry

2021

Between COVID and sporadic health issues, there may not be much for 2021. cry

2020

Health issues are still plaguing me, so it’s not looking good for making appearances in 2020. ConDFW closed its doors, so no spring conventions. For now, Fencon is looking to be the only convention for this year – assuming I get better and can make it. We shall see! (With Covid making 2020 even more difficult, it is unlikely there will be any face-to-face conventions. But Fencon is thinking of doing a Virtual Con! So stay tuned!)

2019

This is going to be a slim year for appearances. Between health issues, company mergers, convention movements, price gouging, and other issues, we won’t be able to be present at most of the shows we have in the last few years. Many apologies! Hopefully, things will calm down for 2020.
