The Lost Month…
How I missed half of my summer break...
First Crush
Reminiscence of foundling feelings
Signing at the North Park Book Fair

Coming to San Diego Comic-Con!
Let's set the way back clock to 1995 (or the late 1900's as I have heard it called...geez, do I feel old!). I had been attending San Diego Comic-Con for a couple years by then and decided to volunteer for the first time. The energy, the excitement, the laughs and the friends. I was hooked [...]

Beware the things that go bump in the night…
Halloween night routine. Sit down at computer. Hear the telltale shriek of trick-or-treaters as they pass through the maze. Stand up. Hand out candy.
