Welcome to the 2018 appearance schedule for Hal C. F. Astell, representing Apocalypse Later, the Arizona Penny Dreadfuls, the Awesomelys, AZ Fandom, CoKoCon or just myself. Here's where you can find out where I'll be doing things out and about, whether I'm running events, working events or selling at events. Come on out and say hi. Whenever I'm selling my books, they will be priced at less than you'll see on Amazon and I'll be happy to sign them for you. Note: of course 2021 was COVID Redux, so many of the events I usually run or work or present at were cancelled, but things did start to open back up a little.
