I’ve been added as a speaker on one of the panels at the March 1-3 Emerald City Comiccon.
The Saturday (March 2) panel is at 5 p.m. and the official title is “Working with Licensed Comics for All Ages.” I’ll be talking about my experiences writing Disney comics and even Eek! The Cat.
Other creators on the panel will be Georgia Ball, Amy Mebberson, James Silvani, and Allen Gladfelter.
Most of the rest of the convention, I’ll be at the Last Kiss Booth (#2202.). Come by, say “hi” and get a free Last Kiss tattoo!
