Lighting Bear is a stuntman who appeared as a storm trooper in Star Wars: A New Hope and as an Endorian scout in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (and a bunch of stunts from other movies too numerous to mention). He sat across from me at OmegaCon.

Richard played the memorable Admiral Motti on Star Wars: A New Hope. We all have his lines memoried: "This battle station is the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use it." And then Vader chocked him using the force.

This was the best costume I sall the whole weekend: Daniel Laruso and the Kobra Kai's. Brought back the memories fo watching Karate Kid over and over again.


DragonCon 2

DragonCon 2

This is the granddaughter of a teacher in Naples who had read A Prophecy Forgotten, loved it, and let me come speak to his classroom. His daughter just happened to be at DragonCon with this little girl. They were already fans, so we took some pictures.


Me and a new Fan

This young boy bought A Prophecy Forgotten at the beginning of DragonCon. The last day of the con, he rushed to my booth and told me it was one of the best books he had ever read--he had read most of the book in only a few days!
