1. I thought alot about comic books after Comic Con and even read a few that I picked up at the show. While browsing through a box of old comics at a dealer table, my earliest memory of comic books came back to me. It was rainy weekends at our lake house. My parents would take myself and my two brothers to the store and we were allowed to pick out a few comic books. Unlike my brothers, I always had a book to me, but comic books were special because I don't remember being able to buy them when we were home. So, my earliest memory of comic books is Archie, Jughead, and Betty & Veronica, Josie and the Pussycats, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch on rainy days at the lake house. What's your earliest memory of comic books?



2. Yesterday I met with Officer Shawn Meade and his K-9 Lucky to present him with a copy of my book, Police Dog Heroes in which they are both featured. It's been nearly two years since we met and I interviewed him for the book. It was very kind of the principal of one of the elementary schools to allow us to do the presentation for a large group of children and the mayor even joined us. I hope they had as much fun as I did!



3. I'm reading Winter Garden (an adult book!) with my book club which I think we decided on an official name, The Page Turners . I'm enjoying the book so much it's probably the quickest I've read an adult book in a long time. Does anyone have any suggestions for other good book club books?
