Hi everyone. I have two events in British Columbia this month. The first is the Vancouver Island Children’s book festival. I’ll be doing a presentation about my work and how you can learn to draw comics (if that’s something you want to do ;) at the book festival this Saturday. Check out the schedule here. 

I’ll also be exhibiting at the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VanCAF) on May 19th and 20th. I’ll have most of my books for sale (The Nameless City, The Stone Heart, Superhero Girl, Friends with Boys, a few others) and will have some original art for purchase as well. If you already own books of mine, I’ll also be happy to sign them for you. I’ll be at table B2 in the Exhibition Hall along with my boyfriend Tim Larade, who’ll be selling the collected edition of his webcomic Mush A Mush as well as prints and original art.

Hope to see you there! 

Hi everyone! I’m hard at work on my two comic projects for 2018. You can take a look at the cover to the first Avatar: The Last Airbender graphic novel written by me (with art by Peter Wartman) here. It’ll be out in October, and the name of the series is Imbalance. Ooh, spooky! I’m also hard at work on my graphic novel with Rainbow Rowell, called Pumpkinheads. Follow me on Twitter or Instagram to get the occasional update for that. And the third Nameless City book, The Divided Earth, will be out on September 25th, 2018! Whew, busy year. 

I’m trying to keep my travel and events to a minimum so I can focus on work, but I have an upcoming event you can see me at.
I am a special guest at Wondercon which is March 23rd to 25th. Here’s my schedule: 

Lessons in Kids’ Comics
Friday March 23, 2018 2:30pm – 3:30pm 
Room 213AB
Grab your afterschool snacks and settle down to listen to WonderCon Anaheim special guests Nidhi Chanani (Pashmina), Jody Houser (Faith), Faith Erin Hicks (The Nameless City), Cat Staggs (Supergirl), and Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) as they wax philosophical on why kids’ comics shouldn’t shy away from the tough stuff. Moderated by Jessica Tseang (founder, The Comic Book Girl, Little Geek Girls).

Wow, 2017 is nearly over, kinda can’t believe it. Whew, what a year. My last event for this year is in Olympia, Washington at the Olympia Timberland Library. The event starts at 1pm, and I’ll be doing a presentation about my work and how I make comics along side comics superstar Kazu Kibuishi, creator of the Amulet series. For more info, check out the Facebook event page here. Hope to see some friendly faces in Washington! :)
