Presented by Geeks Out, FLAME CON is a one-day expo representing: “all corners of LGBTQ geek fandom.” There was some buzz about this first-ever east coast con at last year’s BENT CON in Los Angeles. Based on the programming they put together — an impressive list of of artists and writers including young adult authors David Levithan and Sara Farizan — it should be a great event.
And it’s taking place at the famously kitschy Grand Prospect Hall…
Gotta love homespun commercials for catering halls. I don’t think there’s anyone in New York City who hasn’t tried an impersonation of that last line. 🙂
I’ll be at an exhibitor booth as part of the Freaky, Fantastical Four. Haven’t heard of us? I imagine you are not alone. We are four gay authors who have joined forces to represent queer genre fiction. Â The FLAME CON website is preventing me from lassoing our banner over here, but you can scroll down the exhibitors page to see us in our noirish glory.
Separately, we are speculative fiction author Tom Cardamone, horror/erotica author Daniel W. Kelly, and mystery author David Swatling. I’m standing in for fantasy and young adult fiction.
Together, we are Freaky and Fantastical.
So come on out to Brooklyn on June 13th. Tickets are a mere 20 bucks. Get your autographed copy of Werecat: The Trilogy or The Seventh Pleiade. Take a selfie with a Danaerys Targaryen impersonator (I predict there will be a few). 🙂
