Blood on the Beach – A convention packed with celebrities!

Holiday Inn Virginia Beach @ 5655 Greenwhich Rd., Virginia Beach, VA

Back in 1985, when I first watched the Terminator and developed a mega-crush on Kyle Reese (played by Michael Biehn), never did I ever think I would be part of a convention with him! Along with most of the cast from “The Lost Boys,” one of the cast from “Boondock Saints,” and some outstanding musicians and performers. Wow. Please don’t pinch me!

Rue Elliott, John Koehler, Timothy Choquette and I – the authors of the Virginia Beach Murder Mystery Collection – will also be joined by Daniele Lanzarotta, author of the Imprinted Souls series and the Academy of the Fallen series.
