You can also order signed/sketched copies of Fall Through (and all my books) directly from me here— and you’ll get your copies of Fall Through before its release date. I also suggest ordering a copy of Come Again if you haven’t read it yet— it’s interconnected with my new book and features the debut of our protagonists!

More dates as they roll in. Thanks for your support!

This Saturday-- Evansville, Indiana!

If you live anywhere between St. Louis and Columbus, Chicago and Nashville, come to Evansville, Indiana this Saturday for the Museum Geek & Comic Con! It’s a great, small, varied show in a fantastic venue (411 SE Riverside Drive), and I’ll be there selling books from 11am-5pm.

Here’s the Museum Con’s FB page for more info.

At 2:30pm, cartoonist extraordinaire Chris Schweizer and I will be doing a panel together, talking about our work— see you there!

This is my first comic con in 3 years, so I have a bunch of backed-up stock to sell— for this fall, I think I’ll be offering all 3 pandemic releases (Two Dead, Save It For Later, and Run) together for $50, and all individual books will be $20 or under!

'SAVE IT FOR LATER'-- new expanded paperback edition out today!

Today marks the release of a new, expanded paperback edition of Eisner Award-nominated Save It for Later, with 16 new pages of post-2020 conversation between Derf Backderf and myself (including citations), a recommended reading list of work which informed or influenced my book, some creative process images of formative thumbnail and script, and more.

You can learn more and order through many outlets here, or you can order via Bookshop, IndieBound, Powell’s, Barnes & Noble, or Amazon here.

If you’re in Indiana tomorrow (August 10th), I’ll be having a book-launch discussion with Erin Tobey moderating, followed by a signing— Morgenstern Books (849 S. Auto Mall Rd.) at 6:30 pm. See you there!

Interview today on Indiana Public Radio's "ALL IN"

COME AGAIN final 207.jpg

Today from 1-2pm Eastern time, I’ll be on Indiana Public Radio’s ALL IN program to discuss my graphic novel Come Again (as well as a bit about March, the late, great John Lewis, authoritarianism, fiction, craft, and personal vs. political), which is a finalist for the Indiana Authors Award in the “genre” category.

The winners of the Indiana Authors Awards will be announced September 1st!

Evansville Museum Comic Con-- Saturday, August 17

I’ll be a guest at the Evansville Museum Geek & Comic Con on Saturday, August 17th from 11-6! It’ll be at the Evansville Museum of Arts, History, & Science (411 SE Riverside Dr., Evansville, IN 47713). Admission is $12 for adults, $8 for youth, and free for museum members!

Come see me in conversation about my work at 2pm in whatever room or auditorium holds the panels— more info soon!

Naturally I’ll be selling, signing, and sketching in books throughout the day at my table. Come say hi!

Team MARCH in Bloomington, IN-- September 21st!

Here's Monroe County Public Library's official announcement that John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and I are this year's "The Power Of Words" guest authors! It's an honor to bring the whole creative team back to the town where I live.

We'll be doing a free discussion, Q&A, and signing at IU Auditorium at 7:30 pm on September 21st, with additional early events for thousands of high schoolers and middle schoolers in the area, for whom our March saga has been introduced to the classroom.
