About Me |
|
I'm a writer living in Portland, OR, with one cat and too much junk. I have several books published through Oni Press, Cut My Hair, I Was Someone Dead, and The Everlasting. My comic book series Love the Way You Love comes out every three months, and it's drawn by Marc Ellerby, while my first full-length original graphic novel, 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, was being drawn by Joëlle Jones and was published last October. This summer, I published my fourth novel, Have You Seen the Horizon Lately?. Joëlle took time out of her busy schedule to do the cover. She's also been working on our next comic book project, the hardboiled You Have Killed Me . You can read more about me at http://www.confessions123.com/ . How long has it been since your last Confession? |
