Special Report : Newfoundland West Coast Con
(01/11/2009)

Engen Books was present for a historical event that took place on October 24th and 25th in Corner Brook: the very first Newfoundland West Coast Con.

Engen was out in full force the entire weekend, signing books and leading seminars along with actor Paul Weston (Return of the Jedi, Space 1999) and film producer Darren Hann (Star Wars: Inner Demons, Stargate: Replication).

"It was an amazing weekend." said LeDrew. "Every time we do a convention its a lot of fun, but I find when you do a inaugural one there's a lot of energy and a lot of comradery. It really was a great weekend."

Book Launch: Roulette

The second half of Saturday's book launch consisted of the fouth book in the Black Womb series, Roulette.

The novel features the continuing adventures of Xander Drew, Mike Harris and Cathy Kennessy as they meet new horrors both at home and abroad, taking their show on the road to L.A.

"This book is a big stepping stone in Black Womb history." says LeDrew. "I think people will respond well to it. People have been responding well to it, so far."

New Engen Vendor

Also at the con, BuddyToad comics, one of the provinces leaders in the comic shop / science fiction market, became an official vendor of Engen Books.

BuddyToad's main office is located in Gander, but they are at the Avalon Mall in St. John's every Sunday and are available there to purchase copies of all five Engen titles! More on this in the weeks to come!

All said, NWCC was one of our most successful conventions yet, with an average of 1 in 5 attendees purchasing an Engen Book! We hope to be back next year with more titles, more authors and more action!

Never Look Back!
