Recent and Upcoming Events

Thanks again for joining my newsletter. I'm thrilled to share my journey to publication with you!

September was a busy month! In addition to launching my newsletter, I also finished penciling "Strangely Familiar" and have received some good feedback from advance readers.  I plan to start inking key pages next and will share some sneak peeks soon. 

A couple weeks ago, I was invited to KidCon at the Creative Discovery Museum here in Chattanooga. This was sort of a mini comic con for younger kids to give them an idea of what conventions are like with cosplay, games and invited artists tabling. I had my display set up and gave away sketch cards. 

Then on Sunday of that week, Katie Lamb Library in Collegedale, TN  invited me to their Author/Illustrator fair. It was a lot of fun sharing my work with the kids, giving a drawing demo and meeting other local authors and illustrators. 

I also celebrated my birthday!  9/25 is now considered "Dolly Parton Day" (9 to 5- get it?!) and I'm honored to share it with this icon. My parents came to visit, brought me a cake and my husband took me to Jekyll Island for a long weekend.  I certainly appreciate all the well wishes and those that signed up for my newsletter during the b'day push! 

And now to share some UPCOMING events - I'll be at New York Comic Con next Friday, Oct 9th at 11 am in Workshop Room 1E05 giving a drawing demo. I'm not tabling this year but I'll have some giveaways and happy to sign anything you might bring. Also looking forward to seeing some old friends while in NYC. 

THEN, October 23-25 I will be at Galaxy Con St. Louis! It's my first time tabling at a convention in the midwest so I am super excited to meet some Warriors fans there.

And finally, Nov 7 and 8th is my hometown show, Chattanooga Comic Con.  This is a really well run and fun convention for artists and guests alike. It's always great to see old friends and meet new ones!

Thats it for now! If you can't make it to one of these events, I hope to attend a convention near you soon. Drop a note in the comments if there's Comic Con I should look into for 2027!
