(This short story was written by my 4-year-old daughter for Grandparent’s Day.)

I just got back from the San Diego trip last night. I made a slight detour to Disneyland on the way home, too. I brought my family with me to Comic-Con and we had a great time.

I thought the show this year was a lot of fun, but there seemed to be way more focus on movies and television than on comics.

A Train One
by E., age 3

Well once upon a time this train brought mail to everyone. And then when he was done doing that he went home. And then when he went home he played with his friends. He played with his friends some more and more. And then when he was done doing that he took a nap.

This year’s SDCC was a great show for me. We ended up selling out of the preview edition of the new book I’m working on called The Guns of Shadow Valley. The people who checked it out seemed to really like what we had put together. That kind of feedback is always nice.
