Kilpack Participating in the Itty Bitty Con Cosplay Convention in Ogden

West Jordan, Uta. — The Itty Bitty Con Cosplay Convention two-day event will be held June 14–15, 2024, at the Newgate Mall in Ogden, Utah. Award-winning science fiction and fantasy author W.D. Kilpack III of West Jordan is among the authors taking part with a booth that will be open from 1-7 p.m. on Friday and Noon-7 p.m. on Saturday.

Kilpack said, "This event sounds like it will be a lot of fun! I hope to meet more people who have read my books, as well as make some new friends along the way. On top of that, I'll have some new and fun stuff to unveil about Pale Face development for the big screen!"

The Con and Cosplay Convention will include other events throughout both days, including a karaoke meet and mingle, an author panel, cosplay competition, cosplay talent show, photoshoots, D&D megadice character improv, cosplay parade, and dance club party with Discat DJ.

Kilpack has published six novels to date, four in the epic fantasy New Blood Saga (Crown Prince, Order of Light, Demon Seed, and Rilari), the science-fiction novella, Pale Face, and new release, dystopian military science-fiction epic, Battle Calm. Between them, they have won 24 book awards and honors, including the International Impact Book Award, the International Firebird Book Award, The BookFest Award, Honorable Mention in L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future, Editor's Choice and Top Pick from BooksShelf.com, and runner-up finishes in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category of the Online Book Club's Book of the Year Competition. Pale Face has also recently been optioned for development into a Hollywood movie.

Kilpack said, "I love hearing from my readers! They send me pictures of themselves holding my books, send messages with their comments, and I am so thankful for all of their support. So I would love to meet more of them in person in Ogden! I would also love to meet some young, aspiring writers. If I could help a few people pursue their own literary passions in some way, even just a little by sharing some bit of what I've learned thus far, then that would really make the event that much better."

According to Sinister Soup podcast co-founder, Clay Vermulm, "Bill [Kilpack] is a wonderful man who works extremely hard on his craft. Kilpack delivers a stunning blow to the belief that Indie-Fantasy is worth any less that its salt [with] well-crafted epic[s] with unique plot mechanisms, well-developed and believable characters, and a world grounded in the visceral and the real."

Author and screenwriter Jeff Bailey said that Kilpack "is an active author of novels, TV screenwriter, producer, and partner in a movie production company. I consider him to be one of the new breed of fast rising influencers in the publishing, television, and movie industries."
