My brothers, Nathan and Kit Rees, owners of SQUISHY ANIMATION (logo on right) created an awesome animated DRAGON for the Fantasy Con site, and they did most ALL of the graphics on the web site. Nathan is a huge participator in the entire event, and good friends with the creator/organizer,  Josh Patel

I'm excited to be at Fantasy Con as a vendor selling my medieval romantic adventure fiction, SHADOWS OF VALOR.
