Once again, I'll be heading to DragonCon as a teacher in the Writer's hourly workshop track, among other places. Keep your eyes peeled for the release of which workshops I'll be teaching towards the end of spring.
I'm going to be a guest author on panels and signing books in the Author's Alley. Come by and see me and my booth babe, Bethany, all weekend long!

Action, combat, and the miraculous (magic and high tech) are staples of speculative fiction. Author and educator Benji Richards will explore the world of weapons, choosing the right weapons for your characters or the situation they’re in. Included will be building fantastic weapons, crafting magic/tech systems, and what you need to include to make sure your characters can actually use them as intended.
Many readers describe seeing the book in their mind as if it is a movie playing out in their own private theatre. Benji Richards, writer and educator, will walk you through techniques that help you build solid imagery for your readers. Benji will touch on using active verbs, sensory details and figurative language which will build the experience you intend for your readers. It’s showing and telling at the highest level, and knowing when to mix them.
