Obligatory suitcase in the hallway photo at Scares That Care presents AuthorCon VI – Williamsburg ; I sleep best on floors where the carpet matches my luggage.

Visiting friends and family on the way to Scares that Care Authorcon 2026, I met up with Douglas E. Draper Jr. to discuss the cover for a new book later this year (my reading Friday night will be from it). I also took the opportunity to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel at sunset. 17 miles of beautiful views!

We were just driving down the highway in Los Angeles and there’s this big sign about the Skirball Cultural Center and their current Jack Kirby show. I do not recommend slamming on your brakes on the 405.

Of course we stopped at Horror Vibes Coffee- no we did not partake of the nightmare fuel, but the wall art definitely had the right… vibe.

Yes, we will take a picture of the Bruce Lee sculpture.
