Paul and I just returned from AnomalyCon, and boy, was that trip worth it. The con was just the right size, with friendly attendees. The costumes were astonishing, the panels wonderful, the show well-run. And I got to Tea Duel for the first time (current record: 1-1, with a dirty-nom victory, and a belated clean-nom loss)! I had initially been … Read More
A most successful ComiqueCon
ComiqueCon was a huge success! Organized by Chelsea Liddy, with the help of Dan and Katie Merritt from Green Brain Comics, the first-ever all-female comics show drew over 350 attendees — and national coverage. Reports from the press, exhibitors, and attendees were overwhelmingly positive, and I sure hope this turns into an annual thing, because I had a fantastic time, … Read More
Vögelein now on Comixology!
Good news! You can now buy both Vögelein books at Comixology. These have been in the works for about a year now, and I’m really excied to have them available. If you’ve never tried Comixology’s “assisted view” reading format, I encourage you to give it a try. It’s pretty neat, and adds a subtle dynamism to digital reading. Thanks, Comixology!
Old Ghosts: EB Malloy Print on Demand review
On the scale of things that can happen to self-publishers, having one of your print runs sell out definitely ranks far over to the “good” end. However, the cost of offset printing is on the rise, and it took me seven years to sell through my initial run of Old Ghosts, so I wasn’t enthused at the prospect of spending … Read More
Fan Art
This week I dropped by the post office, and look what was in my box! There’s nothing quite as nice these days as receiving real fan mail. This lovely bit of fan art is from a reader I met at Wizard World Chicago earlier this year. Thanks so much, Siena! It really makes me glad to know that new readers … Read More

I’ll have Clockwork Game trade paperbacks, both Vögelein books, and a bunch of clockwork jewelry — probably my very last batch, too, as I’m running … Read More
Amazing Vögelein Cosplay!
Earlier this year, a fan of mine emailed me to ask if she could cosplay Vögelein at an upcoming comic convention. Of course I said yes, and yesterday I received a bunch of pictures from her that absolutely stunned me. Have a look at the amazing work of art Rebekah W. brought to the 2014 Denver Comic Con: I mean, … Read More

I took the plunge this week and made PDF copies of the Vögelein books available on Scribd. To get the ball rolling, from now through the new year you can get them for only $7.99 each — so if you’ve ever wanted eBook versions, now’s your chance!

Steampunk Faerie!
An awesome librarian let me know I got an early Christmas present this year: I got a mention in The School Library Journal‘s Best Books of 2010 issue as part of their “Steampunk: Full Steam Ahead” list! I’m so excited — thanks so much for the heads-up, TKM! Man, it’s hard for me to get my brain around the fact … Read More
