Elephant in Ninja wear

I'm headed out to the Baltimore Books Festival today! Come and say hi, it's a free festival--I'll be drawing and signing books all day Saturday and speaking at 3:30 on the kid's main stage. I didn't have time for fresh content, I had to dig something out of my work file.

Here it is: an elephant all kitted out like a ninja, sneaking through what must be a massive house.

Hazrdous Tales Interview

I was interviewed by School Library Journal's Good Comics for Kids blog this week. My answers were so long they had to make it a two-parter.

Here is part 1 and here is part 2.

There's some top secret Hazardous Tales behind-the-scenes info in there. Check it out. Drop some comments on those interviews. And don't forget to post your reviews of ONE DEAD SPY and BIG BAD IRONCLAD to your favorite online review locations!

Thank you to the folks at GCFK for the fantastic Hazardous Tales coverage.

This Post is an Advertisement!

So this is exciting; these are banner ads for Frankenstein! I've never had a book with advertising before! You may see these pop up during your perusal of various children's book-centrique sites. Here's the big one:

Pretty cool, huh? I like how they fit the branches of the trees on the cover to the illustration in the background.

Frankenstein is prepped and ready for world domination in October!

In Store Signing Event! Finally!

I'm prying myself out of the studio at last! I've got a few in-store author signings appearing in the near future.

At the Orem, Utah Barnes and Noble this Saturday (the 22nd) from 4-8, I'll be signing at the AUTHORPALOOZA!

And the week after that, on the 29th, I'll be at the Baltimore Book Festival! I'm giving a presentation at 3:30 on the kid's main stage. Otherwise, I'll be out drawing free drawings--just look for the guy with the giant General Washington hat with a Hazardous Tales pin in it.

More dates coming!
