My Hero!

Pleased as punch to be off to the Hero's Convention this week with comic book artist, Jay Piscopo. We have been busy over the last six months working with master marketer, Tami Kennedy and game designer, Ed Evans to create a collectible card game (and other treats) to promote Jay's new graphic novel, The Undersea Adventures of Capt'n Eli.

You can get your hands on this great new comic and the collectible cards at upcoming events, online and quite soon in Maine at Casablanca Comics.

I will be sweetly geeking out over all the new comic books and graphic novels at Heroes and will send news and pics from there!

Irrascible, Anyone?

Gore Vidal was interviewed by Deborah Solomon for the New York Times Magazine today. It is not to be missed. Read it here.

Although, I make my living in the new world of publishing helping authors & illustrators reach out to readers, this does make me pine (momentarily) for the days when writers wrote in their smoked-filled rooms and all others be damned (darned).

Still, Vidal reminds us of the pure cultural superiority of writers and artists. I cannot agree more.
