Both ALTER EGO and SECRET IDENTITY are fun, compelling, nuanced reads. Well worth your time.
So thrilled to see ALTER EGO out in paperback today!

Eternally proud of this standalone sequel to SECRET IDENTITY, which was an immediate USA TODAY-bestseller, Anthony Award-nominee, and got rave reviews from all over.

I mean this is all sorts of horrible (not the amazing art by Cathy Malkasian, but the context of the article) and a key reason I will always have a day job and am doing more prose. I don’t even know what my Marvel or DC rate is these days, but I doubt it’s changed much since my last Big Two gig.
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

Iʻve always had Marvel & DC pitches in my head, but I’d like to do a crossover called CIRCUSES ON INFINITE EARTHS where 5 cross-dimensional Circuses of Crime team to steal multiversal cosmic items and are stopped by Nightwing, Hawkeye, Deadman, Barda, Mr Miracle, Nightcrawler & the Blob

I just read that crazy ass Batman Deadpool book by Grant, Dan Mora, et al and i think now they can totally let me do a digital story like this:
Ok if Marvel and DC want to do a crossover, how about letting me dip in and write this crazy pants Jewish one shot?

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

Interesting to see Topps Digital just launched an NBA digital trading card app. That's a license we tried to get while I was there but never could (also? Harry Potter.) Glad to see the Fanatics deal opened doors!

Just delivered a new book series title treatment for an indie publisher, and very happy with how it came out. Reach out if you have logo, UX, graphic design or book design needs in the New Year!
Well, I'm putting out the call to my network here that I'm looking to take on a few freelance design (graphic or book, logos, UX/UI) or writing jobs (fiction, not marketing), if available.

Happy to DM. Would appreciate dependable leads or networking opportunities. Thanks, all!

#Lions gonna Lions. We simply can’t get out of our own way as we get out of the opposing team’s way
