Gearing Up for MobiCon!

Just a quick note in between work, parenting, writing and everything else – I have two panels I am hosting at Mobi – one is an hour long discussion of ways to bring realism to your setting, characters and dialogue. The second is on the “Art of Suspense” -how is it different than Horror, and how are they entertwined?
Hope to see you there – Check out www.mobicon.org for the full schedule of events!

About Derek

Derek Dykes was born on his Grandmothers' birthday in January 1973. The son of a local businessman and an artist, Derek and his brother Charles both grew up in an environment where creativity was encouraged. While earning healthy grades and participating in activities was important to Derek, they always took second place to what really mattered to him - his friends and family. Derek found himself thrust into adulthood when his father died. Taking care of his responsibilities meant that his college education was put on hold. While he was unable to afford classes, he privately continued his studies in art, literature, archeology, Celtic history, and a cornucopia of other subjects that interested him. Derek moved home to Mobile, Alabama in early 2008 after living away for almost a decade. His journey home was a catalyst for the foundation of his first novel, MADNESS. In addition to writing, Derek enjoys photography, parenting and using any medium available to bring the creations of his mind to life. More of Derek's work can be found by visiting www.derekdykes.com
