Matt Moore is the Communications Director for ChiZine Publications in Ottawa, and he writes science fiction and horror. He was nominated for an Aurora Award in the Short Story category. I enjoyed the panel he moderated, and wished I could have seen more of him.

Martin Bueno
Martin Bueno is the author of The Rainbow Alchemist.
Ira Nayman
Ira Nayman is one of the funniest people, especially in a panel! I was very happy to meet him at Can-Con. He has many books, and we bought too many of them. (“too many books”…odd concept, and it does not apply here!)
Victoria Higgins and Meghan Dunn
Victoria and Meghan have become a staple at Ottawa’s geeky events, and I love talking to them. Their book, Alice Hearts Welsh Zombies by Victoria Dunn, is going to be read at Halloweenie Reading Night on October 24th at Venus Envy at 7:30pm. Be sure to check it out for a Halloween treat!
Attack of the Amigurimi
Before selling my stuff at the Geek Market today and tomorrow, I wanted to get a picture of all my Amigurimi. And then this happened:
Geek Market!
Ottawa’s Geek Market starts TOMORROW! I hope a lot of you will stop by my booth (#825) to say hi!
This year the Geek Market is proud to be showing their support for the anti-bullying movement in Ottawa, and will be donating proceeds (to be divided equally) raised at the event to these three amazing charities: Kids Help Phone, Jer’s Vision and the Distress Center of Ottawa and Region.
S. M. Carriere
S. M. Carriere is an amazing writer, and she will be at Ottawa Geek Market at Table 110, so go and say hi and buy one of her books! She has a new book coming out on Halloween called The Summer Bird and it looks so good!
Renaissance Press
The Renaissance Press (two links to follow there) table was manned by Caroline Frechette (middle), the author of the new book Blood Relations. Super fun to talk to, and very awesome to listen to in a panel. You can find Renaissance Press at Ottawa Geek Market at Table 807.
Linda Poitevin
I met Linda at Can-Con the first weekend in October, and she was awesome to talk and listen to.
Linda Poitevin is a Dark Urban Fantasy author. Her book Sins of the Lost is the third in a series and it is coming out October 15th! So you have just enough time to pick up the first two and read them over the weekend…good thing it’s a long weekend!
Can-Con
I was at Can-Con this weekend and meet a while bunch of amazing people and got a lot of pictures of the TARDIS with authors. One of the authors wrote about her experience at Can-Con here: S. M. Carriere. I will be posting pictures from this convention starting on Thursday, interrupting my Fan Expo pictures, which will continue afterwards. 🙂
