I can’t speak for anyone else, but I
have to give kudos to organizers, John Thompsett and Terri Pfeiffer for
organizing a well-run expo. They and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly,
and the overall atmosphere was positive. Unless I have a scheduling conflict, I
plan to return next year.
There were only two authors, me and L.
Andrew Cooper. Although we weren't scheduled to, Andrew talked to John, and he
let us read from our stories. Andrew read from his novel, Burning the Middle Ground (BlackWyrm Publishing) and I read from my
published short stories, “Family Tradition” and “It’s in Your Blood” (Bites - Ten Tales of Vampires).
Entertainment included “Darshwood, the
Conjuror Magic Show,” a “Brain Eating Contest,” and “MakeOff!” (a make-up artist
turned her subject into the Invisible Man).
I had an oracle reading. The intuitive confirmed something I’d suspected, and told me
I needed to be more confident and meditate more. I also had my aura
photographed. Without going into detail, I’m happy to say my aura is balanced, and I’m a creative/artistic person. Like the intuitive, the aura
reader said I needed to meditate more, among other suggestions.
I hope Night Risers takes place again next year. I
met some wonderful people and had a great time. The Pritchard Community Center
was easy to get to, and there was ample parking (always a plus). Thanks also to Amy McCorkle for this opportunity.
I’m glad I took it. :-)
