Granite State Comicon was a blast

I know. I know. I was supposed to write this a month ago. But, I've been busy.

Busy selling books?

Well, yeah, but selling books isn't my only gig. Even today, a Sunday, I'm at my regular job waiting for the completion of a verification run. I won't bore you with the details.

I also had another event that I was lucky enough to get into and has almost no time to prepare. I attended the NEA NH Conference in Bow NH. I hobnobbed with a lot of teachers and chilled out with a couple of ladies, Lori Molica of USBORNE Books, and Mary Kuechenmeister, founder of the Story Preservation Initiative. Mary was kind enough to gift me a copy of her book Sam and the Silver Stones , which I enjoyed very much with a cup of coffee last Friday night.

Back to Comicon...Name Dropping Time...

This was a two day event in Manchester, NH. I can only try to tell you how much fun I had.
I sat in between two amazing artists, Don Higgins www.DonHigginsIllustration.com and Michelle LaBranche www.chellestudios.com, and only one table away from the author Garon Whited www.GaronWhited.com. Two other wonderful people were across the aisle from me, Lenny (aka Lenwood Brown) www.jakescomic.com, and Kimberly Leach www.KimberlysCreatures.weebly.com. These wonderful people made my first Comicon experience everything I had hoped for.
I'm trying to figure out how I can afford to put Don Higgins' character illustrations into my book at the beginning of each chapter and I'm hoping my booth is next to Kimberly Leach at the NH Renaissance Festival next year!

While I was setting up the day before GSC I met an artist, Jason Casey https://www.etsy.com/shop/JasonCaseyArt. He's another cool guy. My daughter has become a fan. Check out his work.

All I can really say right now is a big thank you to everyone who visited my table and a virtual hug to all of the artists that made me feel at home.
