Greetings all. Just got back from Wizard World Portland. Had a great weekend in spite of a couple of hiccups in things beyond my control. Bounced back and rocked it. Got to see some pals, including a buddy I haven’t seen in at least twenty years, and made new friends. Biggest thing this weekend was the success of my experiment with an exclusive book for Wizard World Portland, Single Steps. It went over so well, I’ll be doing special volumes for each convention I head to in the future. Each volume will have a different lineup of my work, including a short story special to that volume. I’ll also write a quick little flash fiction story on the back page.

For those of you who are familiar with the site, you know I like to take pictures of people in awesome cosplay who wander by my table. I ask them to pick a book from my table so I can get a picture. I started this at Wizard World: Sacramento when I posted the images to my various social media. At Wizard World: Reno, I started posting these pictures to my website. I hadn’t gotten any complaints about this from anyone…except one dude on Reddit… who said I was exploiting the cosplay community in order to promote my books. Well, we can’t have that, but I also know that people love seeing the pictures…

Soooo…

To make sure no one feels exploited, I’m opening up to voting. In the comments, vote for you favorite. Voting lasts until midnight Pacific Time on Friday, the 30th. The top three cosplayers will get prizes (In the form of my books.) If you recognize the cosplayers, and know they have a web page, or Facebook page, let me know, so I can link them.

Now, on with the cosplayers. Don’t forget to vote for your favorites.

Update: As of 9:00 pm 1/27/2015, this post has been up for about 24 hours. It’s had 584 views, making it the most viewed post on my site in a single day. And still… We have a total of two votes. PLEASE tell me who you like people!
