While the other crafters and the other owners were nice, the low turnout really hurt this show, plus the fact there was a constant swarm of yellow-jackets around us.

Grand Con Gaming Convention
A great show indeed! Not only did I get to see Grand Rapids, but I got to meet great artists and finally meet Tom Vasel from the Dice Tower Podcast! As you know I dedicated a character in Journal of an Outlaw to him and Eric Summerer. I even got the info that I needed to move ahead further along on my idea for “Journey of an Outlaw”, the board game I’m creating based on the book. I’ll be back next year for sure!

Fantasticon – Birch Run-Oct 1
A well put together event where I met some great artists. My son Micah even went along and shot the ghostbuster’s thermal packs (it was filled with bubbles). The show suffered from lack of attendance but I’m going to give it another try in the Mt. Pleasant location.

Harrisville Harmony Weekend
Another fantastic show at the Harrisville, Michigan arts and crafts show! To top it off, I won first place in their Arts category! This has been a favorite show of mine for years and I want to say thanks to all the people who not only run the show, but to the fans who show up to see me!

Sparta Celtic Festival
What was once a top show was hurt by the decision to move vendors/crafters away from the main area. Being Irish I love this event, but moving us away from the area killed my sales. Hardly anyone from the main event came over to see us and my sales plummeted. Hopefully, the people who run this event will put us back with the people next year. If not, then it will be time to move on. The thing that upsets me the most about this event is that they never told us ahead of time they were doing this move. I would have backed out immediately if I had known.…

Tawas Waterfront Art Festival
A great show again this year! Easily in my top three! It never hurts being on a beautiful beach either…

Midland River Festival
Creative 360 really outdid themselves this year with the new set up. Crowds packed the Tridge area and brought all the family for this good time! I enjoyed watching all the activities while on signing breaks. My family even came down to see me! This will be marked down as one of my favorite festivals of the year. Great job gang!

Davison Art, Music, and Food Festival
It was kind of hot on this day, but the readers still came and bought books. Lots of smiles and plenty of new fans. It was fun!

Signing – Charlin’s Book Nook
Many thanks to Gary and Linda for having me at their book store. So much fun and I met a lot of good people. I hope to be back whenever I can!

Art on the Beach in Oscoda, Michigan
Had a great time here and met many new friends. It’s a beautiful area. It did rain a bit and hampered some of the show, but was nice mostly and the customers I met were done to earth and friendly. I even met a new artist named Natalie who participates in the Special Olympics, she is very good!
