Loving and living this life in Seattle
If you have been around this place for a while, you already know that I speak fluent geek. I adore most things geeky and nerdy in the scifi, fantasy, and comics space. I have traveled to attend a few comic cons in my life with San Diego Comic Con and Dragon Con being the biggest. …
