On May 7 from 10 – 5pm I’ll be at Galaxy Comics here in Winnipeg as part of their annual local creator showcase that takes place on Free Comic Book Day. This will be the third year they’re doing it and a third time for me.
Some local creator friends will also be there, but I don’t have the final list so can’t share, unfortunately. Regardless, it’ll be a good time. It’s a nice intimate setting. I was told maybe 8-10 tables, so a mini-con, in a way. We’ll be on the upstairs level of the store.
Today I committed to appearing at C4’s Winnipeg Pop Culture event on April 9th and 10th at the RBC Convention Centre. This will be the first time in two years C4 has hosted a spring two-day event. The last two-day event was in 2013, and in 2014 and 2015 they held a couple of one-day events–one in the spring, one in early fall–before the big show toward the end of the year.
I’m looking forward to it and getting my geek on. My plan is to bring the whole catalogue just like I did for Horror Con. I still have a small amount of free copies of A Stranger Dead available so these will be given away with each purchase. Offer good while supplies last, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Not getting anymore in because that book is long out-of-print.
Zomtropolis Cover Art (partial image)The New Year is well underway and things are in process here at the Coscom Entertainment studio. I finally locked down 2016’s publication schedule.
The follow dates are the end game. The books can appear sooner. The months given below are just how I’m blocking out the year.
2016 Releases:
Zomtropolis: A Record of Life in a Dead City – June 2016
The Canister X Transmission: Year Two – July/August 2016
Axiom-man: Tenth-year Anniversary Special Edition – September 2016
Mech Apocalypse 2 – November 2016
There might be more, but the above are the for-sures.
On February 13th and 14th I’ll be at C4’s first St. Valentine’s Day Horror Con at the RBC Convention Centre here in Winnipeg. I’m looking forward to it because I have a ton of monster fiction and it’ll be a good chance to connect with readers who will be there looking for that sort of material. I’m excited to see how it goes. As a bonus, I still have some copies of A Stranger Dead available and will be giving those away with each purchase. (Good while supplies last.)
All packed and ready to go for C4 Comic Con 2015Just a heads up I’ll be in Artist Alley at the RBC Convention Centre here in Winnipeg this weekend for the annual C4 Comic Con. I’ll have my entire catalogue on hand as well as giving away free copies of my first novel, A Stranger Dead, with each purchase.
I plan on being there from open until close each day. If, by chance, you come by my table and I’m not there, it means I’ve stepped out for a few minutes to stretch my legs but will be back shortly. Just hang tight. Likewise, if you have any books you’d like signed, bring them down and I’d be happy to sign them for you.
In light of yesterday’s release of Axiom-man Episode No. 3: Rumblings, below is the updated reading order for the saga. In short, it’s real easy: full-length book, episode, full-length book, episode, etc. While there are a few short stories that take place throughout, the main storyline follows the books.
Axiom-man Episode No. 0: First Night Out Doorway of Darkness Black Water (short story) Episode No. 1: The Dead Land There’s Something Rotten Up North (short story in the anthology, Metahumans vs the Undead) City of Ruin Rite of the Wolf (short story in the anthology, Metahumans vs Werewolves) Episode No. 2: Underground Crusade Outlaw Episode No. 3: Rumblings
Presently I’m running two Facebook pages, one a fan page, the other a personal page. They each have their purpose and there is minimal overlap of content.
The fan page – presently, it’s straight-up broadcast. This is where I share only writing/book-related items pertaining to my career.
The personal page – this gives you the broadcasted items plus me making comments about whatever and being an idiot on a daily basis. I also interact the most here.
Depending on your cup of java, either of the above might work for you, or even both if you want to show extra support.
