2007 World Horror Convention/Bram Stoker Awards Banquet

March 29th – April 1st, 2007
Although The Troublesome Amputee didn’t win the Stoker Award for poetry it was an honor to have the book included on the ballot. During the weekend so many people we respect and admire expressed their support for John’s poetry and for RDSP that we really felt our hard work had been recognized.

Special thanks go to Donna Lynch and Steve Archer who helped us out at the dealer’s table. A lot of exciting publishing possibilities were discussed over the weekend and only time will tell what projects will grow from those seeds.
