I’m very pleased to report that I was offered a contract yesterday for a book on Deathlok for the Beyond the Comics Pantheon series. Looking forward to delving into the world of Luther Manning and back into the world of Marvel Comics publishing in the 1970s.

Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines an exploration with the comics of 1976 with creative nonfiction about my mother and her death. It’s fragmented and experimental, and the reader is asked to make connections as they read.

Thanks, Gabino! We all appreciate you doing this!
Just in time for the World Series, I give you my recent creative nonfiction book about baseball in Ireland, Scotland, England, and Wales. This week it was included in a CBC Books list of baseball books by Canadian authors.

Thanks, Gabino! ON COMICS AND GRIEF combines a deep dive into the comic books of 1976 with nonfiction about my childhood, my reading experiences with those comics, my mother’s life, and my grief after she died. It’s experimental in form, at the intersection of comics studies & creative nonfiction.

Just finished my deep dive into the novels of Beryl Bainbridge. THE BIRTHDAY BOYS is my favourite, followed by INJURY TIME and MASTER GEORGIE.
Considering Edna O’Brien or Graham Swift for my next deep dive project.
