INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER is up for preorder through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Thrift Books and Walmart. You can check out the links on the Scrapper page of my website. The link is above in my profile.

In case you missed it... this teacher (me) could use some help! Please share and see about a donation. I do not get the supplies unless I meet the goal of $1,257. Thank you in advance!
As I've mentioned before, I have a new class this upcoming school year. It is called The History and Culture of Comic Books. I set up a Donors Choose project to hopefully supply class sets of some of the books I'll be covering. Please help and share! donorschoose.org/project/pow-bi…

Dear @JamesGunn, I loved SUPERMAN so much I didn't want it to end. It had heart and humor and gave us a rougher, more human Superman and I loved that most of all. Also more Hawkgirl, please!
Can’t wait for this! Dresden is my favorite wizard named Harry!

I tried to set up a book signing for INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER at the Barnes & Noble on 5th ave (@BNBuzz), and they basically stuck their nose up at me (at least that is how I read the response) because I'm a debut author. Other B&N are taking me seriously, at least.
Apparently, Zelda and Link have been cast… hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…
My History & Culture of Comic Books course was approved for next school year, and I am writing the curriculum. This is daunting, but fun. I am looking for guests in the comic industry to visit either in person or virtually... what do you say, @gailsimone?
Here's a novel thought #WritingCommunity: If you do not like the advice/thoughts/ideas/etc. someone else has about writing, then ignore it. Pass over it and move on with your day. There is no need to complain, or respond. This site can be enjoyable if everyone just lightens up.
I think someone should write the hard hitting story about Thumbkin. Where was he? How was he? Why did he need to run away? How did Pointer get mixed up in the action? WHERE IS THUMBKIN: A Thriller coming soon!
If I were to cast Frank Hodge, the MC of INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER, he would look something like this.
I just sent out three requests to do book events/signings. One in NJ and two in NYC. Fingers crossed that they like me enough! Of course, you can still preorder INTRODUCING THE SCARLET SCRAPPER. Link to my website is in my bio!

I need a few brave volunteers to please beta-read my 4,000-word short story by Wednesday so I can submit it to an anthology!
