Orlando, FL 32812

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY, MAY 18-19, 2013
10AM-6PM | SATURDAY

I’ll have original art for sale, and lots n lots of my books.

Cover for my new series Summoner that debuted at WonderCon.

I’m hoping to have Summoner #1 listed at IndyPlanet.com shortly.

I’m packing up my gear and getting ready to head to CA to attend WonderCon 2013!!  You know–the OTHER sunshine state.

I’ve got my spot in Artist Alley — AA – 157.

I’m really glad I get to attend again this year.  The whole family went last year and we had a wonderful time!  My Mom lives in Laguna Hills so I get the pleasure of staying with her AND going to a show.

This is the launch of my new series since DreamWalker (clicking on the image SHOULD take you to that books IndyPlanet page). 

I’ve puttered around on a couple different projects–Womblies

Becky’s Alien with the uber talented and friend Tony Furtado doing the eye candy

and the Dark Mischief vol. I and II Anthologies (which I ache to do again)

But Summoner is different.  A mix of supernatural, science fiction and elements of steampunk.

Jayne Sinclair is a Summoner–one with the ability to force the spirits of the recently deceased temporarily back to the mortal plain.

I’m very excited to start this new journey so….

Come join me and lets ride!

I get the pleasure of seeing a lot of really cool books.  One of my favorites is Wellkeeper by the incredibly talented and genuinely cool guys, Derrick Fish.

Derrick has wonderful inking skills and a great storyteller.  He’s got a great main character in Zoe.  The girl goes thru a lot and has a lot of weight on her shoulders.

Here’s a guest cover I did for his Wellkeeper #4:

FINISHED!
I finally finished my Christmas card for 2012!  First in a couple years.  I always enjoyed doing them but with kids, work and all that happy stuff time for doing a card has been in short supply.  Anyhoo, here’s wishing you and yours a terrific Holiday season and Happiest of New Years!

Just in time for your Halloween reading pleasure… the release of Dark Mischief Vol 2!!!

Order now and I’ll get as many of us as I can to sign your copy!  Maybe even do a doodle or two if your good.

Or very, very bad :O)

Ok, so it’s 82 degree’s but I still feel all nice and fall-ish :O)

Got a cool gadgety tablet or smart phone?  Then whatcha waiting for?!!  Go download one of my comics!!  DreamWalker #0 is now available for digital download!

BEST OF ALL?  It’s FREE!  Yep!

So go here:   http://www.indyplanet.com/digital/product_info.php?products_id=2671

Download the book and let me know what you think!

Sad part is now I’ve got to scan a lot of the old issues from the early DreamWalker series and get those up and IndyPlanet and IndyPlanet digital.  For a lot of them I no longer have the art, and who knows where the digital files are.

Clicking the cover will also take you to the downloadable file.

I usually put my recommendations in my twitter feed and on my facebook page, but I think I’m going to start posting my recommendations on my web page.  I’m not a reviewer (I’m not that insightful, don’t have enough time to write and draw on my own stuff, and positively hate to argue) but I get to see a lot of books come my way and I try to point out some of the finer stuff.

This series, Inverloch, is one that needs to be on everyone’s reading radar.  Vol 4 was just printed and went live at http://indyplanet.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=7400

Go get it.  I’ll wait.

Today you get a two-fer in the Jens  recommendations department.  This fantastic article by Tom Spurgeon  is making its way over the comic boards.  Its a  fascinating and insightful reading:  http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/comics_made_me_less_fat_how_i_lost_220_pounds_in_18_months/

Admittedly I like a lot of stuff–gadgets, comics, art, fashion, politics, books, music–it’s quite a list.  But one of my absolute favorite things is science–Space in particular.  We’ll become fast friends for life just by mentioning the name Carl Sagan.

Tonight we’re going to bed extra early in order to get up and get ready to go to NASA.  I’ve not been since I was itty bitty–Before the Space Shuttle program was officially started.  It’s a shame that as long as we’ve lived in Florida I’ve never been to Kennedy Space Center itself.

The kids have seen the shuttle lift off–but throw in how far away from lift off we were (closest was 10 miles) and their age (young) and they’ve really not experienced what actual space crafts look like.  I’m excited to see them get involved!

I’ve been down to the coast and seen a launch–truly magnificent–and always tried to step out outside to see launches.
But tomorrow I’ll be as giddy as kid on Christmas morning and bouncing in the seat to get a look at rockets, missiles, and satellites!

Happy early Christmas to me!
