What my Typical Day is like
After an 8-hour work day, I come home, do chores, feed and play with my cat, and get settled in. After dinner, I put the coffee on and sit down with my laptop. My agenda includes:
-Going through my email and mail and taking care of routine business paperwork (sales, taxes, sales permits, accounting, budgeting, inventory, some legal)
-Work on social media promotions and interactions
-Following up with my artists on comic book production. Review and approve any images my artists send me. Focus on development, preproduction, coordination between artists, and eventually review, production, and publication, and all steps of the comic book process.
-Going through my to-do list for interviews, conventions, merchandising, comic book production etc.
-Updating my blog and web sites, posting updates and writing articles
-Working on my comic book scripts. Plan any new merchandising or promotion ideas.
-Prep, sign and send autographed photo requests and signed book orders
-I act as my own agent, setting up and responding to interview requests, do the occasional photo shoots
-Organize stuff and update my to-do and project lists for the next day.
I usually work each night until about 11pm, then it starts all over the next day. Weekends I work full-time on my projects. I do make time to relax. Mostly I love reading in bed.
I live a frugal, streamlined and organized life. I’m the type who doesn't like to waste time. (As I write this I'm standing in front of the dryer waiting for my clothes to dry in the laundry room.) I plan ahead and make lists so I can devote time to my business. My phone and its apps are my best friend. I can update while I'm waiting. I streamlined my marketing "blurbs" so I can post anytime. My smartphone is my best friend. And so is my to-do list.

The Highlight of my Year is Comikaze
This will be my 3rd year as an exhibitor at Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo and comic book convention held at the Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA. It’s the main highlight of my year. Planning for it takes up the entire year for me. Since my artists Andrew Setter and Chad Hammontree and I work through text, phone calls and online file sharing, this is an opportunity for us to all meet up in person at Comikaze at least once a year.
I start by reserving for the booth by applying on-site. Then comes several months of building up sales to fund what I need for the convention: mainly funds for my two artists’ flight from Missouri to Los Angeles, hotel, transportation, and food, t-shirts for booth staff, promotional items and giveaways such as stickers, and building up another inventory of comic books to have at the booth for the convention. My artists and I split the sales.
I coordinate the flight schedules with my art director Chad, book the hotel, plan for transportation, and provide the meal stipends for staffers at the booth. I also put together all the paperwork such as sales permits, apply for booth badges, and prep booth materials such as signage and posters. Then of course, there’s event promotions prior to and during the event on social media.
This is my once -a-year appearance and book signing as well where I also get to meet fans face to face. My artist Andrew draws for kids who come to our booth as well. We all get to meet other artists and exhibitors and network and make new connections and friends. We get to see al the fun costumes. Most of all I get to promote my comic book series and the fantastic art and work of my artists.
It’s a lot of work but it’s an event that’s truly enjoyable and exciting that I look forward to every year!
