Where in the World is Tony Sarrecchia
Appearance Announcement
It’s here — the event the entire nerd year revolves around: Dragon Con!
Labor Day weekend, downtown Atlanta, five days of fandom, horror, sci‑fi, and general nerd chaos.
I’m honored to return as an Attending Professional, which means you’ll find me on panels, and tied to some incredible performances:
Atlanta Radio Theatre Company will perform two episodes of my adaptation of Anthony Francis’s Jeremiah Willstone — a two‑fisted steampunk saga full of monsters, ghosts, rayguns, danger, romance… and corsets.
My full schedule below — check the Dragon Con app for updates.
If you see me at the con, say hi — I’ll have exclusive magnets teasing my new serialized horror fiction (first come, first grabbed).
See you and 80K of your closest nerd buddies in Atlanta.
