The DFW HWA is going through some changes over the next couple of months.
First, we'll be going to a simpler Web site design that enables more people to update the site. These static HTML pages will be replaced by an interactive site with an integrated blog to which people can subscribe via RSS, and will have some cooler features like photo galleries, polls, an integrated forum, contact form, multimedia, and easy-to-customize pages.
Next, as of the first of the year, the chapter is expanding to include the entire state of Texas! Along with this expansion also comes a changing of the guard as Christopher Fulbright steps down from his position as chapter chair after six years. Gabrielle Faust will take over as the driving force behind the Texas HWA chapter, so members can expect to be hearing from her as the changes take place.
As always, thanks for your support! |

Don't miss this year's FenCon the weekend of September 18-20 with a great list of guests including HWA members C. Dean Andersson, C.T. Adams, Angeline Hawkes, Christopher Fulbright, Charlee Jacob (tentative), and Steven E. Wedel. The convention guest of honor this year is Lois McMaster Bujold, with special guests Howard Waldrop, Keith R.A. DeCandido, and a long list of others.
The DFW HWA will have an informal dinner gathering, tentatively scheduled for Saturday night, Sept. 19. As soon as we receive our panel schedules, I will send out a definite time for the event. In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me via the e-mail address listed on the Contact page.

The DFW HWA has several events planned for 2009, including ConDFW VIII coming the third weekend in February. We'll plan a chapter lunch or dinner gathering closer to the event, and when we do, details will be posted here. A preliminary list of DFW HWA folks scheduled to appear as guests include Angeline Hawkes, C. Dean Andersson, Christopher Fulbright, and Gabrielle Faust, with more likely to join us as the date creeps nearer. Guests of honor David Weber and Jim Butcher make this one not to be missed!
For details on ConDFW, click the following link:
Our biggest event of the year with the most members in attendance is shaping up to be Texas Frightmare Weekend in May. In addition to the usual roster of local guests, our local chapter will also host out-of-town HWA guests Deborah LeBlanc, Steven E. Wedel, Kim Paffenroth, and Austin author Lee Thomas a.k.a.

Alice Cooper and Tobe Hooper top a growing list of TFW guests for 2009, with more added closer to the date. Stay tuned for additional updates! |

A new HWA anthology edited by bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson has been released.  Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories "promises to give readers a unique taste of horror combined with just the right amount of humor" according to Hellnotes.
Including stories by bestselling authors Charlaine Harris, Jim Butcher, Sharyn McCrumb, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Kelley Armstrong, F. Paul Wilson, and other horror staple favorites Joe Lansdale, Don D'Ammassa, Lucien Soulban, Nancy Holder, and more, Blood Lite promises a dark twist of humor with each gruesome morsel of menace.
"This toothsome anthology of 21 funny-scary stories from members of the Horror Writers Association arrives just in time for Halloween. On the humorous end, Matt Venne's Elvis Presley and the Bloodsucker Blues recreates Presley's voice with pitch perfect swagger and sets the record straight on how he really died, while Charlaine Harris's An Evening with Al Gore depicts a novel way to deal with environmental criminals; both tales are truly outstanding. In a creepier vein, Steven Savile's Dear Prudence finds a conflicted man repeatedly revising a note where he details gory plans for his significant other, and Nancy Holder's I Know Who You Ate Last Summer features stomach-churning rock star cannibals. Big names like Jim Butcher and Sherrilyn Kenyon will have comic horror fans grabbing this anthology off the shelves." --Publishers Weekly
