Central Florida Comic Con – Elmon Dean Todd

Now the second awesome person I got to speak with at Central Florida Comic Con was Elmon Dean Todd. Now, as readers and friends of mine will happily confirm, if there is one thing I like more than books, it’s games. So it thrilled me to not only discover the Godshard series of books, but to also hear that it is being turned in to a video game with a hesitant 2023 due date. I do not know about the rest of you, but I certainly enjoy a game that has been carefully created as opposed to something thrown out the door to meet deadlines. So I hope they take their time and produce an outstanding game.

Now I can’t say I have finished the books I bough when I was at CFCC, even a voracious reader such as myself has to stop, eat, drink, and get the day job out of the way. I will give a full review of the books once I finish them. I can however say that it is a quality, well made paperback with some fine art that I am looking forward to officially cracking.

I also had fun speaking with Elmon Dean Todd who was kind enough to speak to me. He’s been writing for some time, saying he was inspired by classic RPGs and series he found while he lived in Japan. As a huge fan of the JRPG genre it gives me a lot of hope for his series, both book form and the upcoming game! I hope to talk to him more in the future.

Central Florida Comic Con – Steve Conley

The first writer I spoke with was Steve Conley. Steve was super friendly and willing to talk about his work and his work and his history with comics. He is the author of The Middle Ages, which before this day I had not read before, and since, I have probably spent wayyyyy too much time reading. I have deadlines to meet, but this comic is really great! The art work is reminiscent of classic newspaper comics and the story is entertaining as well.

Steve himself has been drawing most of his life. And as he told me he got in to the comic business because it was “the thing I was least bad at” tell me that’s not a relatable thought?

I hope to discuss his history, and The Middle Ages with Steve in more detail once I have finished the comic, or at least caught up to it. If you are interested in learning more about him or reading his work, you can find it at https://steveconley.com/
