If you are in the Los Angeles International Airport area this weekend, drop by the Crown Plaza Hotel. I will be at the USA Martial Arts Expo, signing my latest book (Saturday the 28th), The Five Principles of Everything (along with my previous two novels, Shidoshi:The Four Ways of the Corpse and The Panda Chronicles). Alfred Urquidez and my wife Barbara will be joining me to sign The Five Principles, while Rico Rose (the Panda himself) will be on hand to co-sign that book. I'll be there from around noon until the Hall of Fame Induction Banquet begins at 6:30 p.m. I then will be getting inducted into my third Hall of Fame, along with my martial arts brother, Alfred Urquidez. If you want to attend the banquet, you are welcome, but remember it is a black tie only affair and the cost is $70.
