If
memory serves, I was the first person Cierra Caballero interviewed for
PopNerdTV, a geeky news site covering all the cool things in life, such as
comic books, movies, and video games. She interviewed me at the 2016
Retropalooza video game con in Arlington, TX, where I was selling and autographing
my books. I could tell right away that she was a cool and fun person to be
around, thanks to her chill attitude and big smile.
Here’s
her bio from that titanic tome:
Cierra Caballero is a
versatile writer and show host whose passion for creating and storytelling lead
her to wanting to create her own path in the entertainment world from a young
age. From writing articles, to singing in a band, to hosting her own horror edutatinment
show “Jump Scare” on PopNerdTV, there is no limit to the mediums she wants to
create in. Cierra stars in Berenice and Irene, a comedy web series she
co-created with Jacqueline Davis.
My latest venture is called "Tales from a Retro Gamer", a YouTube series where I discuss the history of video games from a personal standpoint. Things like my first video game, rare finds I've made, conventions I've attended, famous gamers I've met, the first time I played the NES, and much more. I'll cover various retro gaming topics in the news as well. New episode every Tuesday at 2:00 PM Central Standard time. Click HERE to check out the channel. Please subscribe--after all, it's free! Thanks--enjoy the videos!

Cierra
and I have been friends ever since, and we’ve even collaborated on a few projects, such as my 50th anniversary feature on Night of the Living Dead and a story I did for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on the Texas Frightmare
horror convention. Cierra is a purveyor of all things pop culture, but she’s
especially keen on horror, and she’s always interesting to talk to about things
that go bump in the night. I was very happy when she agreed to write a story about
SimCity for my latest book, The SNES Omnibus: The Super Nintendo and Its Games,Vol. 2 (N–Z).
