So after a far bit of not going anywhere all of a sudden I felt like I was everywhere for Passport. The book came out during a sort of weird time, so I was lucky enough to be celebrating it’s existence in the world here there and everywhere for what felt like most of September. Here is the photodump to prove it: 1. This is what happens when you try to fit two families of four in a New York apartment. Thank you @juliawhair 2. This is what is looks like when you FINALLY meet your extraordinary agent @mollyoneillbooks (whithout whom you would be nada) in person. 💗💕💗 3. This is what it looks like when your kids hold hands and bravely forge through a crowded subway platform on their first visit to Penn Station. 4. This is what the first ever reading of Passport looks like at the very awesome @new_dominion_bookshop 5. This is what it looks like when to your suprise and delight @joshmbayer is your table mate @spxcomics 6. This is what it looks like when you are high on adrenaline and decide to wear a crop top at SPX 22. 7. This is what it looks like when you finish a panel with @fffungirl @katrionachapman and @tommi_pg and are exhilarated by the experience. 8. This is what it looks like as you try not to swear in front of the child in the front row of said panel (ps I failed. Sorry, Erica!) 9. This is what it looks like when you’ve completed 2/3 high school visits for @hs_bookfest and are pretty sure the next one will go OK too. 10. This is what the world’s best host @curlcan looks like. Her name is Carolyn and she gave me a #bumpycake with candles in it for my birthday. I’m 39 btw and it rules. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #comics #passport #graphicnovels #graphicmemoir #memoir #debutgraphicnovel #comix #spx #spx22 #hsfotb2022 #harborspringsmichigan #ya #yalit #booktok #booksofinstagram #cia #secrets #comicart #yaliterature #comicbooks #book #bookfestival #lbyr #graphicnovelist (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjI2kxQLSgN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@clough.robert interviewed me for SOLRAD (@fieldmousepress). I don’t want to gush too much but I have been looking forward to getting a copy of Passport into Rob’s hands for a long time so I am thrilled. Not only is Rob the most insightful indie comics reviewer in the business, but he might be one of the few people who has read just about everything I have published. His long view of indie publishing and the comics industry as a whole is a true asset to the community. Thank you Rob! (Link in Bio) And I should warn @davidheatley @about_dunja_jankovic @gary.panter and @joshmbayer that they are all mentioned in this interview. Hope you don’t mind. And I hope @juliawhair doesn’t mind that I am posting this picture, taken around the time that #Passport takes place. Sistars forever. 💫 Passport is available for pre-order NOW but will be available whereever books are sold 11/2/21. 🛫✈️❤️🌈 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #passport #lbyr #book #debutbook #debutgraphicnovel #graphicnovel #graphicmemoir #graphicnovelmemoir #comic #comix #comicbook #cia #secrets #sisters #bookstagram #booktalk #yagraphicnovels #yabookstagram #yabooks (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2TnHVLMRr/?utm_medium=tumblr
