The Home News Tribune  and USA Today said that Sky Girl and the Superheroic Legacy features Central New Jersey's first Superheroine. On May 14th, I will be appearing as a guest at the The Hawthorne High School Comic Convention and bringing the book  (to steal Mr Springstein's words) "back to the Great State of New Jersey."  Come out and say hello. 

Ok, you Northern NJ people who complained that Sky Girl is set in NJ and I haven't done any NJ appearances,  I will be at The Hawthorne High School Comic Convention in Hawthorne, NJ.  on May 14th, 2011 from 10am – 4pm.  I'll have Sky Girl, and many of my comics and books (but not all my stuff since this is a "kid friendly event").
