Last weekend was Game-A-Con in Palm Desert. It was my first mall event, and after the enormity of L.A. Comic Con, I wasn’t sure what to expect. What transpired blew my mind… Game-A-Con ended up being my best show to date! I met a lot of Sci-Fi fans who were eager to read a great…

When I return home, I’ll be locking in for the rest of the weekend or until I wrap up Book 5! Mechhaven Missives Featured Authors This week’s featured authors are Joseph…
Halloween has come and gone, now the holiday season is fully upon us. Thanksgiving is bearing down on us whether we like it or not. I’m actually looking forward to it as I like this time of year. I’m not crazy like someone I know who put their Christmas tree up in October (that’s taking…
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…
