My heartfelt
thanks go to organizers Carol Sauve and Randy
Sauve for last weekend's fourth annual Cornwall & Area Pop
Event (CAPE). Anita
Dolman and met familiar faces and many new ones. We drove home Sunday with
one less box of books (my horror novel Town & Train from Lethe Press and
her Lost Enough from Morning Rain
Publishing). Having my giant face opposite fellow author Benoit
Chartier's was a blast (He also snapped this early Sunday morning photo of my
booth) and seeing writer Liam Gibbs was also fun.

Because Anita and
I tell stories, we are inspired and by other people’s stories. An awe-filled
young woman asked our son "What is it like to grow up with writers as your
parents?" "Meh," said the kid. “It's so-so...” Cheers also to
the high school guys (Dawson and the tall fellow) who told me what DC Comics
they’re reading and about the comeback of vinyl records.
Of course, getting feedback from readers about our books was fabulous. My
return customers from the 2016 CAPE did wonders for my spirits. I traded puns
with my favourite volunteer and rubbed shoulders with all manner of creature,
hero and character. Didja’ see Lobo? Amazing. My personal favourite, Miles
Morales, the new Spider-Man (thanks, cosplayer Gary Raiche, for the photo), also swung by my
booth.
All in all, the
two-day event was another fun and successful CAPE.
