I’m figuring in this day and age, if anyone wants to buy a new copy of one of my books from Amazon or whatever, they can just “use the Google.” So, I’ve ditched this blog’s “Buy Stuff” page and substituted a “Buy Signed Books/Original Art” link that goes to my newly-set up Storenvy storefront. If …

I was sorting though and organizing my bookmarks and I stumbled on two old postings about Amelia Earhart: This Broad Ocean that I’ve apparently neglected to post. So, here’s a way late (and probably final) Amelia roundup: ALA Great Graphic Novels for Teens Over at the American Library Association website you can see that Amelia …

Among the many great folks I had a chance to hang out with a few weeks back at Heroes Con 2010 was Snow Wildsmith, a regional librarian (Mooresville, NC) and blogger for the American Library Association’s Good Comics for Kids site. She did an interview with me on the show floor about all-ages GNs and …

Here’s a pleasant surprise from last week: Amelia Earhart – This Broad Ocean was reviewed in the Sunday (3/14) New York Times books section–certainly the highest profile review any project I’ve worked on has received. It’s very well written, even captivating at times, and Ben Towle’s black, white and blue art suggests the feeling of …
