Release Day Is HERE! + Writer 2 Writer Podcast Interview

Loophole is finally available to the public—to be cheerfully chewed on, mercilessly masticated, spitefully spat out, or delightfully digested.

ONE MORE DAY!—Plus, Professional Review by IndieReader

Tomorrow’s release day! Apologies for anyone sick of hearing me prattle on about my book, but it’s exciting and a little surreal to see a project I conceived as a teenager and then began writing in 2016 become a reality.

NEXT WEEK—Loophole’s Coming!

Next Thursday is release day for Loophole! We printed out some bookmarks with some of Alannah’s sample comics and got some pretty cute nieces to show them off 🙂

The Hoppin’ Eyeball 4

The Hoppin’ Eyeball 4 is here! (Book 4 out of 5)

That darn eyeball is getting brutal.

Loophole Excerpt: A Secret Savior

My walk home from work didn’t go as planned.

Comic: Phantom of the Opera

This is comic strip 3/4 drawn by Loophole’s main character, Alannah. As you can see, she likes to turn conventions on their head—sometimes in rather dark ways.

ONE MORE MONTH!—Plus, Professional Review by Sublime Book Review

Today marks one month until Loophole’s publishing date, November 30!

To commemorate this milestone, here is the first professional review for the book, which just came in this morning from Sublime Book Review: (I’ll share the link when they publish it on their own page; I was just too impatient to wait 😛 )

The Hoppin’ Eyeball 3

Time for The Hoppin’ Eyeball 3! (Book 3 out of 5)

Enjoy! 😉

Advance Review—Laura Poplin

Today’s review for Loophole comes from Laura McCune-Poplin, author of the excellent time travel YA series Fatechanger:

Comic: The Ugly Duckling

Here’s another example of a comic strip drawn by Loophole’s main character, Alannah. Some of her work is more lighthearted than others. The strips I’ve been commissioning all revolve around the central theme and mechanic of the novel, which is the relationship between outward appearance and inner morality.

This is comic strip 2/4.
