If you’re looking for something spooky and comics related to do this weekend, swing by Brookline Booksmith this Sunday, October 2nd, for a Tantalize: Kieren’s Story signing and costume bash!
I’ll be talking about what it was like to adapt Cynthia Leitich Smith’s YA novel into a graphic novel as well as doing some live art demos, plus prizes will be awarded to the dark souls brave enough to come dressed as a vampire or werewolf!

Afterwards at 3 PM, I’ll also be attending the BosKidLit meeting at the Panera down the block. Please swing by if you’re interested in meeting like-minded YA/children’s literature enthusiasts. We’ll sip pumpkin lattes together, it’ll be a graveyard blast! :D

Author Cynthia Leitich Smith interviewed me. You can read our wide-ranging chat over on her website!
And hey, curious about Cynthia’s own thoughts on comics and her career? Then you’re in extra luck, because she gave a great interview to literary agent Ginger Knowlton. Here’s a great snippet about Wonder Woman to further entice you:
When I was a young reader, most depictions of women showed them as victims or trophies, largely defined by traditional gender expectations and the men in their lives.
In contrast, Wonder Woman had always been a major hero in her own right, and she regularly emphasized that girls and women could stand tall in their own red boots.
Cynthia’s also hosting a “Howling Giveaway” to celebrate the comic’s release! Check out this post for details. What a fun assortment of prizes!
And lastly, what was this all about again? Ah, yes. Tantalize: Kieren’s Story is on shelves now! Please do check it out, Cynthia’s crafted a truly enjoyable tale with more than a few fun twists, and I’m exceedingly honored to have had the opportunity to work with the characters in her world.
My first graphic novel hits the shelves today! Check out Tantalize: Kieren’s Story if you’re in the mood for some supernatural mystery and culinary creepiness! Written by Cynthia Leitich-Smith and published by Candlewick Press.
