I sold out of most of my books, met some awesome fans, and saw some outrageous costumes. This has become a family event. My husband and kids tag along, buy lots of extremely necessary items they can&#8217;t live without, ($80 swords anyone?) drink Wild Bill&#8217;s soda until they&#8217;re sick, and have an altogether blast. I saw Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura from Star Wars.) I tried to get a pic but she wheeled past my booth too speedily in her wheel chair. She looks great at 85, I must say. I also got to meet Kato Kaelin (He didn&#8217;t escape me.) And I have to admit I fangirled a little. I remember watching the OJ trials with my cousin and he stole the show. He does the MC thing at Wizard World now.<\/p>\n<p>I also got to speak on a panel about publishing along with Author Genese Davis, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Sabrina A. Fish and I shared a booth, and I think we can both agree it was a thoroughly exhausting, amazing event.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some pics from the event!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2390\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2390\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2390 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/tamaragrantham.com\/StagingSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Comic-Con1-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tamaragrantham.com\/StagingSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Comic-Con1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/tamaragrantham.com\/StagingSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Comic-Con1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tamaragrantham.com\/StagingSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Comic-Con1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tamaragrantham.com\/StagingSite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Comic-Con1.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2390\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I got to meet Kato Kaelin!
