Fan Expo 2024 Day 1
It’s that time of year in Toronto again. The summer is winding down, there is the first hint of the crispness of fall in the cooling evening air, which can mean only one thing. No not pumpkin spice lattes, it’s time for the CNE, TIFF, back-to-school prep, and the gathering of geeks from all over…

Fan Expo 2023 – Day 1
It’s been a couple of years since I was last at Fan Expo. I had a brief appearance last year, hosting a panel for Dundurn Press (check out their booth this year, lots of great books to read!) and getting some gorgeous art for the living room wall. I was a little anxious about the…
Countdown to Fan Expo 2023
Fan Expo is right around the corner, and it’s something I haven’t attended since COVID hit, but this year, I’m going back. And I am excited. There are so many people I want to see and meet, and while the SAG-AFTRA strikes may prevent some discussions I still expect to have a damn good time…
Fan Expo 2019
