Harry Potty and the Deathly Boring!

Following the wild success (and horrified parental reviews) of Diary of a Stinky Dead Kid, I’m working with wacky artist extraordinaire Rick Parker on an all new series that slices and dices today’s cultural icons in a feisty hoot-inducing, knee-slapping manner reminiscent of the classic 1950s Mad!

First up on the carving board is Harry Potty and the Deathly Boring, on sale now at real and unreal bookstores everywhere!  Plunge into the incredibly funny excerpt and be sure to come to the NYC Comic Convention next month to meet myself and Rick.

Also at the con, on Sunday October 10, from 1:30-3, I’ll be at the Grand Central Publishing booth signing copies of Blood Prophecy.  Video and song to be released shortly!

In fact, my whole dang family will be present, with Sarah Kinney on hand to sign Nancy Drew Vampire Slayer, Maia Kinney-Petrucha signing the upcoming Wickeder and Margo Kinney-Petrucha signing the upcoming sequel to Stinky Dead Kid, Dead Dog Dies all at the Papercutz Booth.

Paranormal State:  My Journey into the Unknown continues to top sundry charts with excerpts available here and here.  Ryan’s also done an excellent interview on the book and his personal life at AfterElton.  Several great reviews are visible at Amazon – while preaching to the choir is always fun, I’m particularly pleased by those who are pleasantly surprised by the book.  Check it out!  I’ll be joining Ryan in PA this weekend for a book party and signing at the local Barnes & Noble.

In other news, the first book in the new Nancy Drew series  has earned a rave review from Ray Tate at Comics Bulletin, and Simone Cavazzuti did a nice interview with me on my Egmont years.  It’s posted as a PDF which you can access here.

I’d earlier announced that my first appearance on Paranormal State would be October 17, but it looks like they’ll be showing another, equally exciting, episode for starters.  I’ll let you know when I do.  Pax!
