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. Calendar
Wild Wild West Steampunk Convention 88th-10th March, 2019 in Tucson, AZ I'm very happy to have been invited back for a sixth year to MC the fashion show and costume contests and screen three new sets of steampunk short films from around the globe. As this year's theme is Galactic Steampunk Federation and the venue is an old west town, I also ventured into science fiction westerns. Schedule
Location
International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival5th-14th April, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ I'll be back as press for this year's IHSFFF with daily coverage at Nerdvana. This is my favourite film festival (except my own), not only because it was my first. It's a longer event again year. Schedule
Location
LepreCon 4518th-21st April, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ My first Apocalypse Later Roadshow set was at LepreCon 39 and I've been back every year. This year is LepreCon 45 and I'll be bringing more quality short sf/f films to new eyeballs. Schedule
Location
Cirque du Livre26th-28th April, 2019 in Mesa, AZ I'm proud to be a returning speaker at Cirque du Livre, "a new kind of writer's conference", which runs from Friday to Sunday. My books will be available for purchase through Bonny Books. I'll be signing too, but the schedule hasn't been announced yet. Schedule
Location
Phoenix Fan Fusion23rd-26th May, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ I'm vending for Apocalypse Later again at Phoenix Comicon (well, Phoenix Fan Fusion this year), as part of the Amazing Wyked Writers block. My books will be available for purchase from Duncan's Books and More at that location. However, I'll still be MC'ing the Steampunk Fashion Show and leading four more panels for The Awesomelys. It just wouldn't be PHXCC (or PCF or PFF) without those! Schedule
Location
SpikeCon (Westercon 72, NASFiC 2019, 1632 Minicon and MantiCon)4th-7th July, 2019 in Layton, UT Westercon 72, the western regional sf/f convention which we ran here in Tempe in 2017, will be in Layton, UT in 2019 and I'll be expanding the Apocalypse Later Roadshow to a fourth state. This is a particularly big event this year, being also the NASFiC for 2019 and encompassing Eric Flint's 1632 Minicon and David Weber's MantiCon. The schedule is not yet set. Schedule
Location
CoKoCon 201930th August to 2nd September, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ CoKoCon is a convention close to my heart because I helped to found it. I'm vice chair this year and will be providing an Apocalypse Later Roadshow set and taking part in an Awesomelys panel too, among other things. Schedule
Location
Gaslight Steampunk Expo6th-29th September, 2019 in San Diego, CA I'll be back at Gaslight with another Apocalypse Later Roadshow set. Schedule
Location
Apocalypse Later International Fantastic Film Festival 201912th-13th October, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ This is my own film festival. Year three in 2018 reached the size I want it to be: two full days of genre features and short films with the focus very much on the films rather than the distractions. All for a measly $50 ($60 on the door) and I'm handing out free popcorn! My books will be available for sale at this event. Schedule
Location
