And now you know what’s in my menu bar, too. You can see I’m also on Twitter, Tumblr, Deviant Art, SoundCloud and ComiXology. I’ll post more about each page later and tell you how I use them to get my art out to the world.

The Torino comic show I attended was covered by some funny guys with an on-site radio broadcast. Here’s my 5 minutes on the program. It was all in good fun.

So, that’s my excuse for not posting some pictures and a report of the two trips, even though I have a lot of pictures and I had a great time. I made new friends, saw some old ones again, and was happy to find that my books are healthy and alive across the pond.

The Tell-Me-Everything-In-10-Seconds version is:

We met and signed with our new Italian publisher, BAO.

I met a writer named Barbara that you should know about and follow as she cleverly navigates her way through the obstacles between her and a lucrative writing career. Barbara is a writer’s writer… meaning this is her life. Watch and learn from her.

I learned it is a big mistake to travel to leave the country without getting your phone set up to work out of the country. I only needed it about every other second.

I mistakenly did not buy the beautifully accurate 120 euro Venus de Milo statuette at the Louvre gift shop. Regretted it the minute we walked outside. So now I have to go back someday and get it.

I learned not to visit Paris museums with a pocket knife in your pants.

I ate enough jambon and fromage to last me a lifetime, thank you very much. I think I’ll go veggie from now on.

Seats A&B on aisle 17 of a 767-200 are right next to the bathroom, with the door swinging open your way like a fan… delivering a constant gentle breeze of refused airplane food. Never sit in seats A&B on aisle 17 of a 767-200.

I’ll be back with more details of my ridiculous life when I get caught up a bit on work.
