Merchandising changed my books. I created a candy based on my book’s main character, and the candy outsold the book. Now I’m looking at storytelling in a much broader way. It’s smart retailing.
Also, delicious!

When I ran Comicpalooza, I made it about comic characters not just comic books. I see my own books that way too; I intend for them to be more than characters in novels. I want them to be woven into many things.
Excluding movies, what is the best way you have seen characters expanded beyond books?

In college I went to a 1st night student theatrical production. Almost no one was there except my 3 friends and me & 1 theater prof. It was Edward Albee. We had a long chat at intermission. I spoke to a historical figure while they were still alive but was woefully unprepared for the conversation.

I thought the author gig would be me writing novels and short stories all the time. But in the past few years I’ve written scripts for anime shorts, scripts for audio dramas, and even a rap piece. This is a much stranger and more crooked path than expected!
