Another Accolade for Caravaggio

I'm proud to announce that in addition to my WIN at the Screencraft Cinematic Book Awards, Caravaggio: A Light Before The Darkness made FINALIST in the National Indie Excellence Awards in addition to its previous finalist placements in the Wishing Shelf & Eric Hoffer Awards

My flagship publication, now available worldwide

It's been near a full day now that my Graphic Novel biography Caravaggio: A Light Before The Darkness has been available worldwide. It's a heady feeling to know that my Kickstarter funded limited comic-book series, which became my Kickstarter funded Trade Paperback novel, has found a home with the UK's largest publisher of Independent Graphic Novels, Markosia Enterprises, and that they have taken it to global distribution.
Just before publication, I've been honored to be awarded the Screencraft Cinematic Book Award (Graphic Novel) for 2019, and have placed in the Finals of both the Eric Hoffer Award. SO CLOSE to publication that I couldn't put the #HofferAward Finalist shield on the back cover.
Along the way, I've had tremendous help from fellow creatives like El Muerto creator Javier Hernandez, whose lecture on comics creation I attended at a now-defunct comic shop, to The King of Indie Animation, Bill Plympton who has to-date hand-drawn 9 feature-length movies, not one of which was funded by a studio.
And there are my peers, many whose projects I've backed on Kickstarter, and a couple that are now also under the aegis of Markosia.



Well, that's about as much as I have to say, but if you're interested in the press release, it's here. I hope you'll read and enjoy the book, and support your favorite book and comic bookseller.

Your literary friend,
