It is now official and I can announce I'll be a guest author and panelist at the Imaginarium convention in Louisville, KY on September 19-21. Nothing beats a weekend of books, beer, and cigars!

The Coffin Hop 2012 Main Event…Tim Lebbon!
Good evening Coffin Hoppers! Wait, I can't hear you. I said, GOOD EVENING COFFIN HOPPERS! Ok, much better that time around. I interrupt this year's Coffin Hop to bring you the Main Event.

Halloween is Near, So Let Us Coffin Hop!
Here we are again kiddies, the baddest of bad, the scariest of scary, the Coffin Hop 2012. Last year I wrote several posts about authors I dig that you should be digging too. In my "10 Questions" feature I have from time to time, John Everson , Nate Southard, and Jeff Strand entered the arena …
