  <about><![CDATA[I'm the author of several books, most of them comics (or &quot;graphic novels,&quot; if you prefer that often misleading term), as well as traditional prose novels. 

Current releases are an illustrated novella called &lt;i&gt;Connective Tissue&lt;/i&gt;, published May 2009 by Fantagraphics Books, and &lt;i&gt;From the Ashes&lt;/i&gt;, a satirical &quot;speculative memoir&quot; starring my wife and I in post-apocalyptic New York, published in serial form presently by IDW (six issues, from May to November 2009). The collected TPB edition will be released in March 2010.

In July 2010 my second novel, &lt;i&gt;Pariah&lt;/i&gt;, will be published by Tor.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Terry Southern, Bruce Jay Friedman, Donald Westlake, Dennis Potter, Philip K.
