ConnectiCon 2015

I attended ConnectiCon, held in Hartford, July 9-12, 2015.

As always, I sought out graphic and illustrated novel writers and artists. I had the opportunity to speak with well-know authors and some lesser-known ones, as well as the founder of a writers’ resource repository.

These interviews will be posted on the brand new A. Book’s Review YouTube Channel over the next seven days.

Northeast Comic Con: My Kind of People

Last Sunday, I attended Northeast Comic Con. This biannual event may be a smaller venue, but it is still packed with fun.

Fans got to participate in a script read with professional voice-over actors, and chose the subjects for the comic artist sketch-off.

In addition to meeting pop culture icons, panel discussions gave visitors a chance to learn from those in the industry, like caricature artist Scott C. Hamilton and producer and author of The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story, Vivek Tiwary.

I had a chance to talk puppeteers, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph

and Bill Diamond.

as well as Rapid City Below Zero writer Josh Dahl.

I am already looking forward to the December show. Hope to see you there!
