MARCH in new Top Shelf e-book HUMBLE BUNDLE!

March: Book One is currently part of an exciting pay-what-you-want Humble Bundle package, alongside other Top Shelf books (Ed Piskor's Wizzywig , Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell's From Hell and From Hell Companion , and Alex Robinson's Too Cool To Be Forgotten ) and work by George R.R. Martin, Terry Goodkind, Cory Doctorow, and Neil Gaiman.

The Humble Bundle is awesome, all around: pay as much (or as little) as you'd like for tons of digital book releases, with bonus books added if you pay more than the average price paid (which is still under $10 total!). A portion of the sales go to benefit two great organizations: the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and Doctors Without Borders .

The Humble Bundle package will only be around until June 11th, so please scoop these books up while you can! Thanks.

New site up and running!

All right, I redesigned and streamlined my full site , with all news/blog posts still coming directly from Blogger. PLEASE let me know if you have any problems with the site, or ordering books directly. My email address is seemybrotherdance@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Revamped site coming soon!

I'm in the process of working up a whole new, fully functional site. The content from this blog will be transferred, hopefully without any hiccups, so thanks in advance for your patience while I work this out!

Should be back in action by June 7th.

MARCH: BOOK ONE receives a Robert F. Kennedy Book Award!

I'm deeply honored that tonight March: Book One will be receiving a Robert F. Kennedy Special Recognition Book Award -- a few days ago Ethel Kennedy herself cold-called me to deliver the good news, and then we discussed John Lewis' dancing skills for many minutes. A delightful woman, and an extreme honor!

Here's Top Shelf's official press release about the great news.

Here's today's Washington Post piece on our recognition.

My collaborators Congressman Lewis and Andrew Aydin will be at the ceremony to receive the award-- alas, the only reason I can't be there is because SOMEbody's gotta draw Book Two , out in January!

Back to the drawing table, TCB'in.
