Greg Kelso is an award winning author turned podcaster. In July of 2009, Greg was diagnosed with stage iv Colon/Rectal Cancer. After fighting the disease for a few years and multiple surgeries, Greg was left disabled. Instead of giving in to the disability, he began writing.
His First Book, Alonica: Rise of the Dragon Heirs won book cover of the year in 2016. He used the characters in the book, while going through radiation, to help aid in his battle against his second bout of cancer. He continued to write and his second book, Alonica: Splitting Heirs also won book cover of the month in March of 2018.
After beating cancer for a third time, Greg decided to switch genres and wrote a western, Tess: Law Woman of the West where he won best Young Adult Western in the state of Texas. Shortly after he was diagnosed with a fourth bout, which he is continuing to fight today.
In April of 2021, Greg began a podcast dealing with everything Comic Con related and more, he called the show, The Con Hour. He started getting guests such as Kevin Sorbo, DC Glenn (TAG TEAM), Stephanie Nadolny and Steven Andreno which assisted in a quick growth of his show. Shortly after he began media where he started going to comic cons and interviewing guests, artists and vendors to bring more attention to these shows being held.
Being his second year, the team has interviewed many voice actors, musicians, authors, athletes and artists. They have also interviewed Comic Cons overseas to bring light to their shows as well. Greg has also split off a branch of his show calling it the Con-Versation in which he spotlights an artist for 15 to 20 minutes to all of his followers. He now represents cosplayers and actors to also attend shows around the nation. If you attend a Comic Con, be sure to look for him, he can most certainly be spotted with his signature look of a black cowboy hat and a ponytail.
