The People of Chattacon 

All guests of honor, panelists, performers, presenters, artists or any other individual who may present in some way at Chattacon are booked in good faith and we have their guarantee that they will appear when we announce they will be at the convention. However, unforeseen events (illness, family emergencies or production work) may cause a particular guest to cancel.

Much of his short fiction is now available on Medium.com, including never before published stories “Cybercuts for Life” (a gripping tale about a man who gets a haircut…in the future) and “Love and Death in the Time of Thunder” featuring an alternate Earth in which dinosaurs never went extinct, and developed a technologically advanced civilization. He believes that being born in Salem, MA, on July 20th , and graduating high school in 1984, all contributed to his devotion to writing genre stories.
