Reflections on Sci-Fi On The Rock 7 for Saturday

I had a fun day today at Sci-Fi On The Rock 7! The costumes were great, the crowd was impressive, and people seemed to be enjoying themselves tremendously.

I sold bunch of books, and had great feedback from people who have been on the St. John's Haunted Hike, or who've read my books, or my column in the newspaper.  I had several people tell me how much they love the Hike, and had pictures taken with fans! Yay!

I've been letting people know that I'm running a contest this weekend. If you follow @dalejarvis on twitter or like my author facebook page, you will be entered to win a copy of "Haunted Waters".  And if you follow @sjhauntedhike or like the Hike's facebook page, you might win some free passes!  After the convention is over, I'll be taking all the new likes and follows and picking random winners. So start liking and following today!

I'll be back at SFOTR tomorrow, and will hosting the Paranormal Story Swap at 2pm. Hope to see some of you there, and I'll be signing books afterwards.

I've posted a bunch of pics into my "Pros, and Cons" facebook album, but one of the pics I like best is this one of steampunk aficionado Lilly Fisk, below! Great hat!

Gearing up for Sci-Fi On The Rock 7!

Sci-Fi On The Rock is Newfoundland's premiere science fiction & fantasy event. This is the 7th event, and it all takes place on April 26th to 28th of 2013, at The Holiday Inn, 180 Portugal Cove Road, St. John's. You can get more details on their website, Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.

It's been years since I've been able to participate in the convention. I was at the very first event, seven years ago, but for the past few years I've been out of town each year on the dates when it has been held. I had great fun at Atlanti-Con last year in Corner Brook, and I'm pleased to be part of this year's SFOTR. I'll have a writer's table with my books for sale. Stop by, say hello, and enter to win free passes to the St. John's Haunted Hike.

I'll also be hosting a ghost story workshop on Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Lucas room called The Paranormal Story Swap.

From tales told around the campfire, to stories read by flashlight under the covers at night, everyone loves a good ghost story. And as fun as they are to hear and read, they are equally fun to share. The Paranormal Story Swap is an interactive workshop for storytellers and lovers of terrible tales, of all ages and abilities. I will tell a few of my own stories of true hauntings in Newfoundland and Labrador, and then help you share your own. Bring your stories, your enthusiasm for the unexplained, and your deepest fears!

See you this weekend!
