MISC.
I had my final show of the year Saturday, the OtherWhere Market in Lowell. It was a nice way to end the year, especially in light of the excited young lady whose mother bought for her the first two Action Figures books. She was absolutely thrilled to find a superhero novel featuring a young girl as the protagonist, so much so she was literally bouncing as he mom purchased the books. That was a great ego boost and great way to wrap my 2016 show season.
