It’s a kick being in the comic shop on Christmas Eve Day, playing Christmas Carols and writing. I still had a bunch of sample comics left over from Free Comic Book Day, so I passed out a lot of those already. A guy came in and made the day. He bought my two latest self-published novels, and the newest Ghost Rider mini-series. The main sales so far have been from my twenty-five to seventy-five cent boxes, but that’s okay. The kids remind me of my trips to the local drugstore comic book rack when I was young. To top it all off, no young thugs today yet. :)
I own a one man auto/truck repair shop in Oakland, CA.I write adventure fiction with a political slant, and unconventional poetry. Using my day-job to keep me going, I continue my assault on the publishing world with each action packed day. Any questions or comments you'd rather not make public, please use the address below.

When I was a kid I spent ost of my allowance on comic books.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Bernita. My Dad would stop at a bakery on the way home from church, and they had a rack of comics. I will never forget the wonderful smell of those comic books I blew my allowance on. They always retained both the indescribable comic book smell along with the scent of fresh bread. :)
