This weekend I’m at what will probably be my last in-person event for the year, the San Diego Comic Fest. My oldest son and I drove down to Carlsbad yesterday. We set up our table and hung out for the opening night gala. As soon as I finish prepping this newsletter, we’ll be off to get a quick breakfast before heading to the show. If you’re in the San Diego area this weekend and have time to check out what’s going on, here are the details:
Come join us at the Westin Carlsbad, located at 5480 Grand Pacific Dr, Carlsbad, CA 92008, right next to Legoland. Tickets may be purchased in the hotel lobby from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. Parking at the Westin is free during event hours (subject to availability).
Everyone at Comic Fest is excited to be back! Join us for the friendly comic book convention with a casual atmosphere and an intimate scale! The Comic Fest is all about comics, science fiction, animation, and film, served up with a sense of community that brings professional writers and artists together with fans.

The fate of worlds hinges on a woman’s heart
In command of a distant space station, war hero Jonathan Terynn wants to free his people from the galactic conquerors. Forming secret alliances, he conspires to revolt against the tyrannical Draconians. Hopelessly outmatched, Jonathan turns to an ancient prophecy that could bring them victory.
What Jonathan didn’t expect was reuniting with his long-lost love. Ellyra, the daughter of royalty on her planet, seeks to rekindle their romance. Jonathan soon discovers that Ellyra might be the very key to fulfilling the prophecy, but it would mean exploiting the woman he loves.
When a political rival strikes hard, Jonathan’s alliances begin to unravel. To save his crumbling conspiracy, he must make a desperate move. But now his relationship with Ellyra is strained as she fears she may only be a pawn in a political game.
