UnCONventional

There’s a small easter egg in today’s Peregrine Lake that you may have missed. On the wall in the guest room of Lynn and Megan’s cabin, there’s a photo from their wedding. For UnCONventional readers, this should look incredibly familiar – because it’s Ethan’s redraw of one of my favorite moments from the entirety of that comic (as well as the cover to the Chapter Six book).

I specifically asked Ethan if we could have that as a “photo” in Lynn and Megan’s cabin, and they did not disappoint. I gave them the original art layers – which is why you’ll notice the background is still the altered photo from the original image.

And I just… I just love it. One of the most amazing things about working with Ethan on Peregrine Lake has been seeing the things I imagine realized in a style so different from my own (and with so much more skill than I have myself). It’s just amazing.

That’s all I really have to say. I just wanted to share this weird tiny detail with y’all because it makes me happy. Here are the two images side by side (click them for higher resolution versions):

So just for fun, I decided the most obvious piece of merch for Peregrine Lake — the generic tourist t-shirt. If you ever go to a gas station in a random small town, you’ll definitely see something like this. So why get a generic T-shirt with a real town’s name on it when you can get one with a fake town’s name on it?

Obviously this is available on a T-shirt, but there are a whole bunch of other products too — like totebags, coasters, and mugs.

I honestly just did this because I thought it was fun. No real plan beyond “Oh that would be nice to have for myself.” It’s neat!

Book update time! Back in January I published my first (non-graphic) novel, The Witch and the Rose (which you can buy here). I made it pretty clear that it was the first book in a series, and that more books would be coming.

And yeah, it’s time to reveal that next book.

I’m excited to announce Bloody Damn Rite, the sequel to The Witch and the Rose and second book in the Mia Graves series, will come out June 11th on Kindle and paperback. Additionally, you can pre-order the Kindle eBook version of the book right now and it will be available on your devices immediately on June 11th.

So yeah! If you want some queer contemporary fantasy set in, of all places, an Indiana college town… I got two books for you.

There will be more.

(Also, just a reminder that Peregrine Lake is now live too! Go read our awesome webcomic!)
