Nobody Does It Better Than Scooby

I wrote a little piece for CrimeReads about genre fiction and the high standards that children's entertainment sets for trope exploitation. You can guess my position by comparing Meddling Kids or even The Supernatural Enhancements with a certain Saturday morning cartoon. Or comparing my upcoming novel with this Spanish comic-book from 1989. Kids know where the good stuff is.

Hangover

Just a few words in the aftermath of the Meddling Tour: THANK YOU. To the stores, to my hosts, and to every fan who came by. It was amazing to meet you. I am oozing endorphines.

To those who couldn't make it, there should be at least a few doodled paperbacks of Meddling Kids available in Subtext, Boswell and Bookpeople. To those in other cities: stay tuned.

My question is in six parts and actually an interview

While I'm packing for the big Meddling Tour starting tomorrow, make sure to check this preliminary interview with Matt Wild before I have a chat with him at the Boswell Book Company in Milwaukee on June 14. Did you know Nate almost never made it to the book? It's a fact now, cause I said it in an interview.

Catch me at Boswell or any of the other venues this week, and ask your own questions! I change my mind on a daily basis!

My Denver Comic Con schedule

I'm going to be in Denver for three days, speaking in public, in my third language, and without a script about several subjects I have never thought about for too long. So if I were you, I wouldn't miss it.
