Hi, I'm Faith Erin Hicks, I write & draw comics. Published works include The Nameless City trilogy, Friends with Boys, Pumpkinheads, Ride On, Hockey Girl Loves Drama Boy & more. I also write Avatar: The Last Airbender comics. You can find my comics at your local library or wherever books are sold!
This always hits at public facing events, but something I wish I was better at is talking about my comics. I don’t mean explaining them, I mean talking about my creative process and why I make certain story decisions. Ultimately it comes to down to “this felt right to me.”

Can I get some romance writer recommendations? I like Alexis Hall, Ashley Herring Blake & Mhairi McFarlane. Didn’t click with Ali Hazelwood or Emily Henry. I haven’t read a romantasy that I enjoyed but I’m open to it if there’s something good out there. I don’t like regency.

Whew, my muscles are incredibly sore today. Not sure if it's the covid booster or the workout I did yesterday, the first one in several weeks. Could be both! Probably both. Anyway, bleh. :P

I've been struggling with jetlag, waking up at insanely early hours, finally caved & took some melatonin and slept until 10:30 this morning. 😐 That was ... not ideal for a Monday.

Finally beat Cronos! Only took me 50+ runs and 62% god mode hahah (not good at games)! Also beat the big bad at the top of Mount Olympus on my first attempt! That fight was surprisingly easy considering my trouble with another Titan enemy (no spoilers), who took half a dozen attempts.
