Not every book concept strikes like lightning. They usually come about after a long time day dreaming, refining, and thought, often spurred by some outside science, event, discovery, or news. But 30Seven is one of those book concepts that popped into my head, fully formed and elevator pitch ready:

What if aliens abducted a group of people…and one of them is a psychopathic serial killer immune to their mind control?

I was instantly hooked and knew exactly what I’d be writing when Artifact was complete. I was psyched to write this book and let loose the dogs of serial killer war. But life doesn’t always respect my plans.

There I was, writing a story about a serial killer, riddled with death, when…my mother died. I was, and still am, devastated. Needless to say, after that, the subject of death felt very different and much more personal. The second half of the book was written while I mourned, while my wife and I planned, paid for, and hosted my mother’s burial and celebration of life, and while I made a video encapsulating her life for said event. That was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. I don’t know if any of that pain made it into the book–I suspect it did–but writing 30Seven helped keep my thoughts rooted, and my mind healthy. The book itself might be demented, but it got me through a tough time, and I am grateful to it for that.

Now, let’s put that sad tale behind us and jump headlong into madness!

Imagine you’re lying on a lakeside beach. It’s summer in Maine, warm with a breeze that carries the scent of blueberries. You’re looking up at the stars wondering why one of them has begun moving. Growing brighter. Heading toward you! As you get to your feet to run, a light blazes all around you, freezing your limbs and locking your eyes open. You’re conscious, but paralyzed. As you float up into the air, everything goes black.

Vault and #1 Audible and New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Robinson have announced Nectar, a terrifying new horror comic book series. Written by Robinson and drawn by the phenomenal artistic duo Annapaola Martello and Francesco Francini, with colors by Steve Canon, letters by Jim Campbell, and design by Tim Daniel, Nectar will take readers on a​supernatural thrill ride where horror comes on gossamer wings.

In Nectar, an island village off Salem, Massachusetts, is inundated by a strange species of butterflies that spread the Dancing Plague and have a very particular taste in nectar…human blood.

“When my wife, Hilaree, and I started spitballing story concepts, all I knew was that I wanted to create a new Victorian monster to rival Dracula, Frankenstein’s Monster, and Werewolves,” said Robinson. “Our twisted imaginations went to work and just minutes later we had blood sucking butterflies and the dancing plague wrapped together, along with the title: Nectar. I loved the idea so much, I started writing the script the next day.”

I feel like this year’s fest can be summed up with a rename: FoodFest 2025. Yes, we went to Niagara Falls. Yes, the falls are mind-numbingly impressive when you’re standing on a boat floating near the base. But the restaurants in Niagara Falls are plentiful, vast, and very, very good.

More than that, the portion sizes were massive. And because the food was so good, I cleaned my plate more often than not. I probably could have rolled home, and I’m going to avoid a scale for a few weeks. But the best part of these restaurants was the company. I got to spend time with some amazing people–some old friends, and others newcomers. All of them fun, relaxed, and comfortable. Speaking to people at RobinsonFest is effortless, even for me, and that’s saying a lot. Not only do I not have a lot of opportunities for socializing (being solo in an office 365 days a year), but my autism also makes most social interactions a massive effort. Much less so at RobinsonFest.

Something that impresses me every year at RobinsonFest is how exceedingly friendly and welcoming everyone is. Whether it’s your tenth fest or first, you’ll be welcomed like family and be instantly part of the group. I’d like to take credit for this atmosphere, but I’m probably the most stoic person at the fest. Somehow, I just have the coolest fans on the planet.
