This will be my first year going to Octocon, Ireland's largest sci-fi and fantasy convention. Every year in October, Octocon plays host to a number of authors and other guests, presenting a series of panels and other events.
This year, I've been invited to attend. I'll be starting off with a reading from Locked Within on the Saturday, just before lunch, and following that by being on a number of panels covering a variety of topics from religion in science fiction to LGTB characters.
I'm really excited about this and hope to see plenty of people there!

Octocon
Paul Anthony Shortt believes in magic and monsters. In ghosts and fairies. The creatures that lurk under the bed and inside the closet. The things that live in the dark, and the heroes who stand against them. Above all, he believes that stories have the power to change the world, and the most important stories are the ones which show that monsters can be beaten.
