The NEHW Spend the Evening at the New England Author Expo

The NEHW Spend the Evening at the New England Author Expo

by Rob Watts

Authors Tracy L. Carbone, Rob Watts, and David Price.

The New England Horror Writers participated in this evening’s New England Author Expo held at the beautifully lush Danversport Yacht Club in Danvers, Ma. The event was generously sponsored by Pear Tree Publishing in the Harbor View Ballroom, which made for a spectacular waterfront view and a relaxed atmosphere. Although a horrific thunder and lightning spectacle, along with torrential flash flooding almost put a damper (yes, pun intended) on the evening, luck was on our side as the clouds lifted and the sun once returned in time for our 4 p.m. opening.

Participating in the event was myself, NEHW co-chair Tracy Carbone, Director of Events Scott Goudsward, Robert Heske and fellow NEHW publicity committee writer David Price. Without being bias, our table was one of the best looking and most lively in the ballroom. Our storefront ensemble was a big hit with visitors passing by and unlike many fellow authors in the room, we had each other to keep things upbeat during the lulls. Many authors who attended this event solo had only themselves and a clock to stare at to keep themselves entertained. Turnout was decent, although I’m sure the threat of more rain and flooding jeopardized any chances of a larger crowd. That didn’t keep us down though. Sales were made by everyone at our table, but the success story of the evening was Tracy Carbone, not only in books, but her jams, pickles and bears were also a big success.

Although the room was filled with mostly authors, there were many talented illustrators, a few publishers and even a guy who makes hand-made pens, which were really well made I must say. Musical entertainment was provided by local musician Digney Fignus. Also on hand was Mark Goddard of Lost in Space fame and WRKO Boston talk show host Michelle McPhee who was promoting her new book, A Mob Story. It was a fun evening with many great participants. Weather and attendance aside, we all agreed it was great event and we’d gladly do it again. Also worth a mention is the fact that David Price left from his own family vacation in New Hampshire to attend this event with us. Great team spirit Dave, we appreciate it!

by Jason Harris

The second annual Author’s Night at the Zorvino Vineyards in New Hampshire on Jan. 20 features four New England Horror Writers’ members, who will be signing their books, at the event.

The members are Tracy Carbone, Roxanne Dent, Karen Dent, John M. Mcllveen, and Scott Goudsward.

There will be copies of the first NEHW anthology, Epitaphs, which was released last October and debuted at Anthocon in November, will be available at the event. The anthology was edited by Carbone and features stories by Roxanne Dent, Mcllveen, and Goudsward.

According to the vineyards’ website, there will be over 75 New England authors at this charity event that goes from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. This event will be “partnering with five New Hampshire Schools to help bring the joy of reading to all.” This year’s participating beneficiaries are the Timberlane District Elementary Schools. Each school, Pollard School (Plaistow), Atkinson Academy, Danville Elementary, Sandown Central, and Sandown North, will be holding a raffle, where the money generated will go towards reading in the classroom, the website said.

Everyone who signs up for the event on Zorvino’s website will be entered into a chance to win a “Private Wine Tasting and Tour For Up To 20 People,” which includes a cheese and cracker platter and a tour of their facility. Just sign up online, print your ticket and bring it to the book signing to be entered.

The event is free and there will be a cash bar at the event. The winery will be open all night for complimentary wine tasting as well. The vineyard wants people to be aware to bring cash since the authors won’t have access to a credit card machine.

For a list of the authors attending the event and their websites, check out Zorvino’s website. The vineyard is located at 226 Main St. in Sandown, New Hampshire.
