It's Awards Nomination Season, including the Hugo Awards!
Nordguard: Across Thin Ice is eligible to be nominated this year for the Hugo's "Best Graphic Story" category!
This is really pretty awesome. The category is a relatively new addition to the Hugo Awards, and as such, the "underdogs" have more of a chance of getting noticed and included.
So what does that mean? It means I need you fine Worldcon members to nominate Across Thin Ice!
To nominate, you must either currently be, or have been, a member of either a 2011, 2012 or 2013 Worldcon. (If you are not a Worldcon member and want to become one, you may join Chicon 7 or LonStarCon 3, the 2013 Worldcon, before January 31st 2012 to be eligible.)
The deadline to nominate is March 11th, 2012!
The Hugo nominations are being handled though the Chicon Hugo Nomination Website. You can submit a ballot either online (click here!), or mail-in a paper ballot (more info!).
If you happen to be a Worldcon member and you haven't yet cast your nominations, we would greatly appreciate the moment of your time to include Nordguard: Across Thin Ice on your ballot!
The pertinent information you'd need would be:
Catagory: Best Graphic Story
Title: Nordguard: Across Thin Ice
By: Teagan Gavet/Tess Garman
(For "Magazine," I'd say: Publisher, Sofawolf Press, ISNB 978-1-936689-10-1, www.nordguard.com)
You can put up to five names down for each category on the Nominations Ballot, so you can give all your favorites from 2011 a shot at being nominated this year!
Thank you very much!
It's been a whirlwind kind of year so far. Really, thank you everyone who's gotten a copy of Across Thin Ice, left kind comments, shared the book with friends, penned great reviews, sent nice emails, or simply just said at conventions "I can't wait until the next book!"
Being able to write and make comics is truly a dream realized for both of us. It's exciting, and encouraging at how well the book has been received, both within and outside of the fandom. Thank all of you guys for that! :]
Now, back to sketching the next Nordguard book I go...
Cheers,

Room Party the Game Pre-Orders go live at 3PM Pacific Time!

Room Party-- It's Official!
The Room Party Game is now awesomely official, which is great, since according to people who have now played the real thing, it's already officially awesome!
What the hell am I even talking about?? Well, it's a card game about convention Room Parties. You build the best, and sabotage the rest!
More info and all that:
www.roompartygame.com
We developed the game seven years ago, and just last year with the help of a good friend, brought the project to KickStarter where it was funded (and then some!)
The Core Deck features 160 cards, each with custom artwork done by Mandi Tremblay.
The FurCon Expansion Deck has 55 fur-related cards, with art
Into the New Year
2013 was an interesting year, which is a polite way to say it wasn't terribly great. There were high points, low points, and arguably the latter tipped the balance scales. However, ever optimistic, I have faith 2014 will be better. At the very least, I hope it will be interesting.
In the (near) future:
2014 does have an auspicious beginning--New Years with good friends, followed almost immediately by flying to Melbourne, Australia for ConFurgence. I am incredibly honored, and excited (and still a little humbly baffled) they've invited me out as a guest! :]
(Twenty minutes after arrival, you will likely find me with a James Squire in each h
Four Cons, Four Weeks
Yeesh, it's been a crazy month. Four conventions, three of which are the largest ones we'll be doing this year, all in a four week span. It's been exhausting, to say the least!
* AnthroCon was especially great this year. We had a lot to celebrate that particular weekend, and being there over the 4th of July and the fireworks was just the icing on the cake.
* ComicCon International was giant, incredible, and overwhelming, as always. Juanjo Guarnido (illustrator of Blacksad) had some rad compliments for Nordguard: Across Thin Ice, so that alone made my whole convention. :]
This weekend, I'll actually be in two places at once. One half is in
