JohnEverson.com redesign: New Website for a New Year!

IT’S BEEN LONG overdue, but I’ve officially launched the JohnEverson.com redesign!  My site has had a few different looks over the years but the last time I gave it a full redesign was August 2008. The web has changed a lot since then, so JohnEverson.com really needed a facelift. The last design was my longest-lived look, thanks to the design help of Alina Ciejka Gonciarz and the awesome artwork from Travis Anthony Soumis (repurposed from…

Merry Christmas!

I CAN’T BELIEVE it is Christmas Eve already! Here’s a little song to help make your holiday merry. I wrote “Show Me Christmas” 20 years ago and recorded it at my friend Mark Konzen’s house with my friend Lexi Zehren at the mic. Turn it up!

HorrorHound Weekend 2017 – Indianapolis: A Horror Reunion!

I HAVE GROWN to really love HorrorHound Weekend in Indianapolis as much as I love my own hometown Flashback Weekend Convention. I started going to HorrorHound a few years ago because my last publisher, Samhain Publishing, was a major sponsor and so they had a large space at the front of one of the exhibit halls… and six to eight of their authors hung out at the table all weekend signing books.  But when Samhain…

Don May gave a brief talk about the trials of restoring…
