I must be the easiest sell the self publishers at the Con floor have ever seen. I filled up 3 bags of goodies today. I also lost count of how many of my cards I handed out, but I have a soft spot for self publishers. It takes guts to put your time and money [...]

Preview Night At Comic-Con 2009
I didn’t go to Preview night last year as I arrived on the Wednesday from Perth and was far too wrecked. This year I came a day early, so went to the traditional Wednesday night opener. The first thing I noticed was the wait for the shuttle bus. What should’ve been 30 minutes turned into [...]

The Eagle Has Landed
After 4 airports and over 20 hours in the air I have hit San Diego and my new hotel. Free internet and cable, and it’s right across from the gym, not that I’ll be using it. Through passing via the time/space continuum I have now arrived earlier than when I left. The flight from Sydney [...]
