A Peek into Geekdom

DSCN0354 Today I’m guest posting at Louisa Bacio’s blog–A Peek Into Geekdom–where I share some memories from a sci-fi/fantasy/pop culture convention I attend every year–Dragon*Con! If you’ve read the opening of my new release, BEER AND GROPING IN LAS VEGAS, you’ll recognize the photo on the left I share more memories and photos that were inspiration for the fictional ConVegas that took place in the background of the story.

"Ok so this book is sooo fun. It is a quick 46 page ecopy book but it is filled with sarcasm, wit, sexiness and a lot of humor...The sexual tension in the story is great. I was laughing in the beginning and then saying "Hawt" towards the middle. When they finally *cough cough* well you know, it was gooood reading" - Angie J, Twinsie Talk Book Reviews
