Happy Independence Day! By the time you receive this, I’ll have already spent the last few days and will spend the rest of the weekend at Anime Expo, the largest celebration of Japanese pop culture in North America, at the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown LA. Last year’s event drew 410,000 attendees over four…
It seems like yesterday, but it’s already been three weeks since Comic Con Revolution 2026. CCR was a fun show: here are a few pics of some readers who picked up one (or more) of the Mechhaven series. It’s so fun to meet new readers and to talk with fans coming back for the next…

You can also pre-order the ebook and it will be available on Wednesday. If you’re a KU reader, it will be available on KU on Wednesday as well….
Charging into summer is no joke. It looks like we’re going to have ninety degree plus temps for the next few days. Work is heating up as well. Early July through mid-August is one of the busiest times of the year for me. I’m not too worried though, as you’ll see below, I’m in a…
It’s been all about the conventions for the last month or so. First up was Comic Con Revolution Ontario. It was a little slower than I had hoped, but it was close to home and I still had a good time talking to readers, and getting to know some of the other authors and creatives….
