As a reward for releasing The Soul Stealer , I treated myself to one day at RavenCon near Richmond, Va. RavenCon is a fan-run science fiction and fantasy convention that was founded in 2006. It’s a chance for fans to interact with writers and other professionals involved in the genres. The name is a nod to Edgar Allan Poe, who lived in Richmond for several years. All in all, I had a good time. It was great to be among like-minded people who are passionate about science fiction and fantasy. I loved seeing the amazing costumes worn by some fans. I also attended a few of the writing discussions—including ones on copyright and the public domain, and writing believable characters—and learned a few things. Best of all, I got to meet award-winning fiction editor Ellen Datlow, and author JC Kang! Ellen Datlow JC Kang

I’m pleased to announce that Joss Paper , my collection of horror short stories, will be available for FREE on Halloween as part of Terrify Your Tablet 2023 . This looks like an awesome event for horror story lovers, so do drop in on Oct. 31! Let me tell you a little bit about  Joss Paper. The stories   are set in the U.S. and Southeast Asia because I wanted to both celebrate my roots and my life in the U.S. They're creepy and unsettling, not full-gore or slasher stuff. The tales feature creatures from Asian folklore like the toyol, the zombie baby of Southeast Asian myth. One story revolves around the Asian tsunami of Dec. 26, 2004, which was a devastating and horrific disaster that killed almost 228,000 people in 14 countries. Joss Paper is available as an ebook on Amazon and Amazon Kindle Unlimited. You can check it out before Terrify Your Tablet by visiting my author website or by clicking here .
