Podcast and FCBD

Two news items:

First, The Dollar Bin has posted a podcast from FLUKE that contains an interview with several exhibitors, including myself. I was interviewed for 2 different podcasts that day, and they were my first experience with live interviews, so please excuse any panic you might hear in my voice. Is that really what I sound like? Anyway, I come in about 2 1/2 minutes in and talk about various stuff. They also did another FLUKE podcast where they talk to cool folks like Dustin Harbin, J Chris Campbell, and Robert Newsome.

Secondly, Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 3rd! I'll be doing a signing at local Bloomington comic shop, Vintage Phoenix! I'll have copies of both of my books for sale, as well as some of my old minis, which are still in stock there. I'm not planning on selling my Cavemen in Space minis, but I may bring a couple along anyway. So, stop by if you're in the area, get some free comics and say "hi!"

Tales Reviewed at Daily Cross Hatch

My new collection, Tales of Unusual Circumstance, was recently reviewed by The Daily Cross Hatch! Don't expect to see a ton of reviews come in for Tales, because I don't plan on giving it a huge PR push, but a friend of Brian's recommended that I send in a copy, so there you have it! Perhaps another couple reviews will pop up after a few conventions , but mostly I just like having a nice big book collecting my minis and other random short story work that's floating around there in the world.

Speaking of the Tales book, please notice that I've added a new link on the left sidebar of my site linking directly to my news post regarding how to order books from me directly. It sold better than expected at FLUKE, so I've just ordered a second shipment of books, and plan on keeping them in stock, especially during the convention season. For the moment, at least, Tales is not available through any distributors like Diamond or Last Gasp, so if you aren't going to see me at MoCCA or SPX, mail order's the only way to get ahold of the book!

Back from FLUKE

My photo report from FLUKE is now up at my LiveJournal. Check it out! I had a great time in Athens, and these photos only capture a small piece of that...

Also at FLUKE...

FLUKE is almost here! As a reminder, I will have The Ride Home ($9), Tales of Unusual Circumstance ($10), and the Cavemen in Space mini ($4) for sale.

Sharing a table with me will be the lovely Michele Chidester! Michele contributed to the totally awesome FLUKE #7, and last year her Invention minis were a hit! Well, she's stepped it up a notch this year with her new incredible book, Cacophony!



Here's Michele enjoying her new creations!



These books are an amazing conglomeration of paintings, drawings, and photos, all bound together on multi-colored felts! It's a sight to behold. The time and labor-intensive process it took to make these things makes the $12 price tag a modest fee. Not to mention their sheer size! These things are bricks! Check it out:



This is an extremely limited edition of 13, and no two copies are the same! So get 'em while you can!

Also at our table will be the journal comics of David Yoder, who will unfortunately be missing FLUKE to visit the Center for Cartoon Studies, where he will be attending for the next two years. David Yoder's Awesome Journal minis are $2 each, or you can get a full set of 10 for $10!
