Events in April One of my goals for 2024 was to do more in-person events, and after my experience at Ft. Collins Comic Con last year, I wanted to do a few more like that. Comic cons are a lot of fun, even if you aren’t participating in panels. (I love the people-watching aspect most […]

All of my ideas may as well dissolve into the ether. To put it bluntly, February was a bad month […]
