Appearance! Tomorrow! Brooklyn Public Library! The big one!




As part of their "Teen  Week" celebration, I'll be appearing tomorrow,  Thursday, October 20th at the  Brooklyn Central Library located at Grand Army Plaza between Flatbush Avenue and  Eastern Parkway. My program will start at 10:00 am in the Dweck Center auditorium, which I honestly don't much about , but I will remark is a cool-sounding name. I'll be giving a slideshow, talking about Olympians, and sharing some sneak peeks of Hades: Lord of the Dead and Poseidon: The Yet to Be Subtitled. Hope to see you there!

New Interview at The Comics Journal!

Check out this interview with me at The Comics Journal! It's a huge honor for me to be featured in such a prestigious institution, and it's probably the most in-depth interview I've ever given. Please, everyone, give it a read!

Note for my younger readers-- there might be an instance or two of adult language in this interview, so make sure that you have a parent or guardian check it out first, okay?
