Douglas Brode and I will be appearing at SCARE-A-CUSE in September at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York, with a tremendous line-up of Horror stars. I should be finished with
Virgin Vampires by then and will have pages on display and preliminary sketches for sale.
Horror Unlimited has a six page excerpt from VIRGIN VAMPIRES on their blog.

YELLOW ROSE OF TEXAS: the Myth of Emily Morgan
"A mighty fun and entertaining old timey graphic novel."
The SF Site Featured Review
"This book is excellent for teaching children Texas history. This book is for general audience,
but the children will really like it as it is like reading a comic book. The full color illustrations by Joe Orsak are very nicely done and he is an excellent artist/illustrator. This book has an "EXCELLENT +" rating."
