Hello, Sleuths. Hope you’re well. I thought I would apparate in and let you know about some upcoming events and releases as we slide out of the first quarter of 2026. Let’s handle them in order, as things stand right at this moment…

Right now, Shadows Over Somerset and Keepers of the Dead have been re-released in ebook form. Physical releases to come. More on that below.

March of the Magicians is a YouTube Reading Event all March long in which we read the writings of members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.. This year we are reading the works of Arthur Machen.

The 21st of March, my son, author Connor Landon Freeman, and I will be at the Bookworm Orchard booth for Spring Bazaar in Alexandria Indiana, at the Madison County Fairgrounds.

The 25th of April, Connor and I will both be featured at the Bookworm Orchard Signing Event and Grand Opening, located at the Boston Hill Center in Marion Indiana.

28th of April, to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of it’s original release, Shadows Over Somerset is back in print, in trade paperback and hardcover.

29th of April, as part of the 20th Anniversary celebration, Keepers of the Dead, sequel to Shadows, is back in print in trade paperback and hardcover.

The First of May, Beltane and Walpurgisnacht, at long last, The Occult Detective Roleplaying Game, written and designed by Connor and myself, will be released in hardcover.

On YouTube, thoughout May, it’s Horror Mayhem, where we delve into the depths of horror fiction all month long, with an emphasis on works of less than 250 pages.

The 16th of May, Kim, Connor, and I will be set up at Beyond the Veil, which means Attic Pages will have a table full of vintage books to peruse. This event is held at the Miami County Fairgrounds in Peru, Indiana.

The 5th of June, I will be attending the premiere of Brandon Wright’s documentary The Mississinewa Triangle. I make a brief appearance in the film and will be there in support of the filmmaker. The film is being shown at Streaper’s Entertainment in Peru, Indiana at 7 and 9pm.

While I won’t be there in person, June 12th 7 13th is Howard Days, in Cross Plains, Texas. This is an event that I have longed to attend since its inception. Someday, I will. This year, I was nominated for a Black Lotus Award for my series of YouTube videos focused on Kirowan & Conrad. It’s my second time being nominated, the first being an essay I wrote about King Kull seven or eight years back.. While, I have to expectation of winning, it was my hope that, by being nominated, Robert E. Howard’s Occult Detective fiction might reach a broader audience.

The 22nd of August, Kim, Connor, and I will make our return to the delightfully spooky Hannah House for their 3rd Annual Paranormal Festival down in Indianapolis, Indiana.

On YouTube, we celebrate Cimmerian September, where we read the works of Robert E. Howard all month long. This year, I plan to read Howard’s Steve Harrison stories.

On YouTube, it’s Occult Detective October, where we read Occult Detective tales all month long.

The 17th of October, Kim, Connor, and I will be back at the Miami County Fairgrounds for the 8th Annual Paraunity Convention.

And there you have it, my confirmed appearances for the remainder of the year. Keep an eye on this space as I am sure to be adding events as we press forward.
