Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con

Artist Alley–Booth A73

One of the happiest days of the year—comic con! Swing by my booth and say hi!

I’ll be taking high quality photos of fabulous cosplayers and posting them on Instagram and my site. I'm also stoked to talk about all things nerd and geek–emphasis on storytelling (bonus points for anything The OA or Life Is Strange!). Finally, and I suppose most importantly, I'll be selling and signing hardcover and paperback copies of my new novel The Final Book: Gods!

It'd mean the world if you picked up a copy of my book–hopefully next year we'll see Ana, Josh, William and Pom running around the convention floor, haha.

Excited to have fun with everyone!

Life Is Strange Cover

Life Is Strange became a perfect storm of teenage angst, friendship, and adorable quirkiness backed by thoughtful storytelling and a heart-in-throat twist.

The story takes place in a struggling fishing village in the Pacific Northwest; a setting that plays seamlessly with hipster-savvy characters and strong female leads. You take control of our budding photographer protagonist, Max, on her 18th birthday as she’s recently enrolled in prestigious art-driven boarding school for gifted students. In the opening scene she has a crazy premonition and discovers that she has ability to control—reverse—time. It’s awesome. It’s every indie stereotype personified in a cataclysm of so much sugary-pop goodness that it hurts your teeth and rots your mind—only to later sideswipe you with depth and soul.

83% Pac North West Quirkiness With Gripping Depth

Life Is Strange is a total character piece. The game lives or dies by its characters and their relationships–and this game not only lives, but it transcends. Fantastic storytelling with gripping twists, compelling and well-researched universe, and thoughtful soundtrack; this game is solid and my favorite in a long time. The characters are highly relatable and realistic, with the philosophy of time-travel well thought out. Think of it as an interactive television show that is be experienced (not so much "played").
