Are you planning on coming to ConCoction 2019? 

Do you use Snapchat to share your adventures to the dark side, and beyond... 

This year we will have TWO Snapchat filters you can use to let them know you landed at ConCoction! 

The Volunteers here at ConCoction are trying something new when sending out newsletters and updates via email to our membership.  

If you've been an attendee within the last two years (2017-2018) and/or have pre-registered for 2019 you are part of our current email list, *if* you gave us your email. 

We are testing out MailChimp as an email service to reach out to our members, allow people to unsubscribe easier, and make sure group and event information is available beyond our website and social media. 

Our third email was sent out today - so keep an eye out on your inboxes, spam filters, and promotional inboxes (gmail users). 

If you aren't on our email list but want to sign up, drop us your information at feedback@clevelandconcoction.org

Award winning author of Paranormal Romance, and Fantasy Fiction, Vik has been telling stories since she learned how to speak.  Hand in hand with her most trusted friend, an imaginary boy named Charlie (awww, I miss Charlie), she wove many a tale of aliens and evil clones who impersonated her elder brothers (for certainly she wasn't actually related to those wretched boys who teased and taunted her mercilessly) while growing up in Ontario, Canada. Even when Charlie faded away, she continued to live in her own fantasy world, telling her stories to her stuffed animals, and finally writing them down when she was old enough to know how.
