Fiction

Several times in the last fews years I've had the pleasure of being one of the pro writers teaching the ArmadilloCon Writers Workshop. If you aspire to write science fiction, fantasy or horror, this Workshop is one of the best. I've also helped teach the Writers Workshop at Houston's excellent SFF convention, ApolloCon.
