The crowdfunding campaign for The Death of Bobby Hart goes live tomorrow on Kickstarter. This is a self-published graphic novel that I'm especially proud of.

Final edits (I pray) have been made to my latest #graphicnovel and turned into my editor. Can’t wait for this book to be announced. Took a leap of faith on a #feature #scriptwriting thing (fingers crossed) and I got some new artwork in for my upcoming illustrated #novella

Was in my #Shakespeare bag when I wrote this opening page. The bard had me because I wrote this whole #GN with pen and pad which was stolen half way through and then I rewrote the whole thing as if possessed.
Here’s a sneak peek of the #graphicnovel Othello: the Moor of Iraq. A reimagining of #shakespeare’s tragic drama with 98% of his words updated for a modern audience. #comicbooks #drama #tragedy #adaptation #othello

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
