June 24-25: Supanova Comic Con, Perth
In a surreal and welcome turn of events, I’ll be a guest author at this year’s Supanova Perth!
I’ll be at the signing table near the QBD bookstore most of the time, but I’ve also got a special session each day:
SATURDAY JUNE 24th, 3:30pm
I’m doing a ‘Supanova Seminar’ where I’ll talk about making my picture book Stellarphant and my graphic novel series Secret Agent Mole.
SUNDAY JUNE 25th, 3:00pm
I’ll be on a panel with Meg Caddy and Jo Riccioni called Creating Compelling Characters.
You can grab tickets for Supanova Perth here. See you there!
