    Book signing on Free Comic Book Day, Saturday, May 4 …

    I will be one of several authors, artists, and vendors participating in the Free Comic Book Day event on Saturday, May 4 at Mountain Empire Comics in Bristol, Tenn.

    I will be signing books from 10 a.m. to noon (or maybe longer, depending on the crowd).

    I will have copies of Kill the Queen and Spartan Promise to sign. I will also have some of my other books at the event, but not all of my backlist books. If there is a specific book that you want signed, please email me and let me know so that I will have a copy of that book on hand.

    Free Comic Book Day is a nationwide event where comic book stores offer free comics, host costume contests, and more. I encourage you to contact your local comics shop and see what they have planned.

    I will also be one of dozens of authors, artists, and vendors participating in Rob-Con at MeadowView Conference Resort & Convention Center in Kingsport, Tenn. Rob-Con will be held on June 29-30.

    I will be at Rob-Con on SATURDAY ONLY, June 29, from 9 a.m. to about 1 p.m. (or maybe longer, depending on the crowd).

    Again, I will have copies of Kill the Queen and Spartan Promise to sign. I will also have some of my other books at the event, but not all of my backlist books. If there is a specific book that you want signed, please email me and let me know so that I will have a copy of that book on hand.

    So far, these are the only two signings I have planned for the summer. Hope to see you there!

    Movies, movies, movies …

    6 Comments

    Is it just me, or are there a lot of good-looking movies coming out this year? I don’t go to the theater all that much, maybe two or three times a year, and usually just to see the Marvel superhero movies or the latest James Bond movie. It’s just easier to stream a movie or get the DVD.

    But this year, there are several movies that I want to see in the theater. Here are some of them, and I’ve linked to some of the trailers as well:

    the-lego-batman-movieThe LEGO Batman Movie — Feb. 10 — This looks really fun. If it is half as entertaining as the trailers have been, it will be one of the best Batman movies ever.

    Beauty and the Beast — March 17 — The original animated Beauty and the Beast is one of my all-time favorite movies. I hope this one is just as good.

    Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 — May 5 — The first movie was so much fun, and this looks like more of the same. I’m also hoping that the soundtrack is as good as it was for the first movie. Plus, is there anything more adorable than Baby Groot?

    Wonder Woman — June 2 — We are finally getting a Wonder Woman movie. Enough said.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming — July 7 — I’m not a huge Spider-Man fan, but I enjoyed his appearance in Captain America: Civil War. And I like the fact that this is not another origin-story movie but rather Spider-Man already being Spider-Man.

    Dunkirk — July 21 — Wheezley really likes World War II movies, and he wants to go see this. Me too. It’s based on a true story, and it looks really intense.

    Thor: Ragnarok — Nov. 3 — Thor isn’t my favorite Marvel character, and the other Thor movies are just so-so. But Tom Hiddleston is always great in these, which is one of the main reasons why I watch them.

    Justice League — Nov. 17 — I did not like Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and I’m hoping that this one is much better. At the very least, it looks like it has a much lighter and a much more fun tone.

    What about you guys? What movies are you looking forward to this year?
