Wallman, of Marlborough, CT., who turns nine on September 13, is a big fan of Stephen King. He is currently reading King’s It. He loves reading horror and watching horror movies, he said. He will grow up to be a horror writer or a make-up artist, his mom, Sheena said. He dressed up as the Cryptkeeper from Tales from the Crypt last Halloween and did his own make-up, his mom said. This year he will be dressing up as the Leprechaun from the 1993 movie Leprechaun.

The Final Day of the Fair

The booth has been set up and author Stacey Longo is talking with Michael, the newest person promoting the Hartford Courant next door, while he browses the books to see if he can use them in an English class.

Today, the booth will be hosting authors Longo, Kurt Newton, Nathan Wrann, Kristi Petersen Schoonover, Jennifer Yarter-Polmatier, and ghost hunter Nathan Schoonover. The fair opens at 9 a.m. and closes this evening at 8 p.m. Come on by and meet some interesting people. You won’t regret it.

It has been a lot of fun having a booth at the Hebron Harvest Fair. I have only gone though a few of Longo’s stress balls promoting her website, www.staceylongo.com. Who knew you could squeeze a stress ball to the point where it has become ineffective.

Live Blogging from the Hebron Harvest Fair

The third day is going well. The authors haven’t risen up with their pens to kill me because of my anal retentiveness or controlling personality.

The books are selling, the authors are happy even in the sun, and the NEHW t-shirts are selling well.

I have to thank the Hartford Courant people who allowed us to use their booth since we had so many authors at our booth. They allowed us to hang out and just relax while other authors were talking with horror fans. If you ever need the Courant and you live in Connecticut, you can’t go wrong with calling Ray Tedeschi at 860-758-7799 or Edward Carella at 860-232-7272 to sign-up for home delivery. Our authors even picked up some pointers from Jeff Sobiech on getting the NEHW name out there. So if you live in the state and you are visiting a fair, go visit the Hartford Courant booth. I would tell you to go talk to Jeff, but if he is running the booth he will come out to talk to you even before you get to his booth. He is an interesting man and it was great talking to him.

It is time to go eat some more fair food. While I am gone, please read the entries from the last couple of days. There is some interesting information within these entries.

The Second Day at the Hebron Harvest Fair

The second day at the fair was even more successful than the first. A number of books were sold. The authors were meeting a lot of people and having fun. One thing I found out that Kristi Petersen Schoonover, author of Skeletons in the Swimmin’ Hole, is a marketing genius. She was giving out copies of stories and this was drawing fairgoers to the booth. One recipient of a story came back to tell her thank you and that she enjoyed the story. Schoonover had other ideas too and I plan to use them in the future for other NEHW events. The NEHW will be making more appearances in Connecticut and in New England.

20110909-024649.jpgThe first day of the Hebron Harvest Fair and the NEHW booth received some visitors. Authors Dan Keohane, Stacey Longo, and Kurt Newton met a number of people and had some great conversations. If you are one of the people who stopped by the booth, thank you for visiting.

A number of fairgoers entered the raffle worth over $1,000. If I wasn’t the one running the raffle, I would love to enter and win. A raffle with 42 books including a many signed books including a Stephen King novel. A number of the books are also limited editions. I want to thank some our members Tracy Carbone, Scott , and Longo who donated books. I also would like to thank Chaosium, Inc., Prime Books, Nightshade Books, Borderlands Press, Delirium Books, and Knopf Publicity for their donations. All these people and companies made this raffle what it is today.

It was fun seeing the people from Zombee Bob again. NEHW met them at the Enfield Zombie walk in August. This is there second event just like it is ours. Check out the Zombee Bob site, www.zombeebob.com.

In the upcoming weeks and months, NEHW will be at Rock and Shock in Worcester and Anthocon in New Hampshire. There will be entries on the these events before and after the events.

The first NEHW anthology will be released at Anthocon in November. There will be more news coming in the future.

The September edition of the newsletter will be coming soon.
