Setchra, the mermaid...

Mermaid from Comic Con

I get asked a crap ton of questions where I came up with Setchra, the mermaid. It all came about when I was a young boy. As I said awhile ago, I lived with a woman on the mississippi river. This kind lady referred to herself as the lady of the lake. She practically raised me. Her name was Ms. M. She was a good woman. A hard working woman who was as kind as heaven itself. Ms. M used to tell me, that if I was a good boy, beautiful mermaids from the caribbean would swim up that great mississippi river, crawl along the banks, and deposit shiny pennies for me to find. She sold me that tale a thousand times. And I bought, every time. Ms. M would say, "they'll be coming for you cause I toss berries in the river and they love berries." I asked how the mermaids might know if I was good? Ms. M said, "I won't toss the berries if you aren't good and they won't leave those gorgeous copper pennies." I said, "I could just toss the berries in there myself. In fact, I could toss more than you! Then they'd bring me more pennies." To which that wise woman responded, "Sure you could do that, if you knew which ones." Ms. M always had the upper hand on me. I didn't always find pennies along the banks, but when I did, I knew it was cause I was a good boy. When I asked Ms. M about the mermaids, she described them same as I did. My mind would grow insatiable, and  I would pepper Ms. M up with questions and exhaust that sweet old woman's brain. I always knew when she reached her end cause she'd say, "Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera." Hence, you have Setchra. And if ya'll ask me any more, I'll say, "etcetera, etcetera, etcetera."

Chicks of Comic con

This next section, I call, "The Chicks" for obvious reasons. But since there were so many, I'm breaking them up into DC chicks and Marvel chicks. Hope ya'll like it.

DC CHICKS

I aint exactly sure where this chick belongs. She's dressed like Princess Leia, but she's crossed themes with Harley Quinn. For that reason, I'm going to put her in both Star Wars and DC categories. She's certainly earned double entry, I mean heck, she choked out Jabba and probably made him laugh a little.

These ladies are straight poison. As Audrey would say, "Who wore it best?"

Female joker. Love it!

I'll show ya'll the Marvel chicks tomorrow. In case ya'll didn't know, that's my freaking book. Go get it here: http://ow.ly/BoR9B 

Salt Lake City Comic Con freaking rocks a'Con!

Oh man, I had sooo much freaking fun at Salt Lake Comic Con! For those of you who don't know about Comic Con, it's the biggest Halloween costume party I ever been to, except, it aint on Halloween. It's all about something I know little to nothing about: "POP CULTURE." Anywho, Pablo got spooked on the way in, which I was expecting. I'm not a big fan of crowds either and I wasn't too surprised when he stepped out of line and said he had to, "shed a tear for the President," which is Pablo's way of saying he has to take a piss... Sooo I was all by myself. I know that shouldn't be such a big deal, but this place was packed and I don't really like crowds and as ya'll can see, this here is a freaking crowd!

That's just walking through the entrance. Anywho, I'm pleased to announce that "Prince & Princess, Into the Shadows," was the most popular book at the show. I broke all these down into categories, so I look forward to ya'lls thoughts.

This first category is the group of folks I was a bit surprised to see. I call it, class pics, and like all year books, it's introduced by teachers first. Ya'll should know these professors.

 

And this here is the class of Harry Potter, Salt Lake Comic Con 2014. Oh, and just so we keep this simple, everyone is a senior!

                                                 This little fella is HP

Hope ya'll like it. I'm getting more pics up tomorrow. I'll be putting them up all week. See ya'll tomorrow! Oh and by the way, to get the book, just click the link: http://ow.ly/BoR9B 

A new page...

Howdy ya'll. I been getting a lot of questions about this and that lately. Mostly, I wanna talk about that. The "that" in my life is the next phase. I guess ya'll could say I have evolved. Considering I am now finished with my book (thank ya Nerd Chick) the question has been posed to me, "how are you going to sell it?" I got one word to describe how I'm going to sell my book: entrepreneurship!
Entrepreneurship is an amazing thing. It's sort of how I've been all my life. The other day when I was in the library with Audrey, I snuck a book out called, "The Lean Startup." Don't worry, I aint a thief or nothing like that, so I'll be sure to get it back, but what this book has to say could change my life... If ya'll have read it, I'm at the experiment phase of the process. Here is my hypothesis:

1) People like my book.
I know this because ya'll write me and tell me so. Thank you so much for liking my book. Course that don't account for some of the emails I get where they don't like my book at all. That's ok though, cause I get way more people that like it than don't.

2) I got a book in my hand and I need to sell it.
If I can sell my books, I think the best place is at an event called, "Comicon."

Audrey told me about this place in Salt Lake City.  Folks get dressed up and such and walk around in costumes buying this and that and the other, so I should be able to sell some books. I mean heck, if a dude wearing fish tackle and swinging his hips can sell pizzas by standing on the street corner, then I can sell some books at a halloween event. Since we are just about an hour away, it shouldn't be too hard to get on over there. Course I have a lot to do, so I'll get to it and see ya'll over there in a couple days. Till then, enjoy what's left of your summer!
