Please RSVP here so I can get an accurate head count. We hope to see you there!

Fool Moon 4 released today!

Issue #4 of the Fool Moon graphic novel hits comics stores today! Find one near you at comicshoplocator.com. You can also check out a five-page preview at Comic Book Resources.

In recent news, Jim was featured in a New York Times article about writers who honed their skills playing AmberMUSH, and the Evil Hat team collaborated with Bully Pulpit to bring fans Hocus Focus, a Dresden Files/Fiasco RPG mashup playset. Check them out!

Jim and Shannon help save the boobs!

Hey, folks! Priscilla here. When I’m not helping maintain Jim’s site, I run a fundraising program called Books for Boobs, which raises money for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer while supporting awesome authors!

I auction off books signed by some of your favorite writers, with the proceeds going to help fight cancer. Genres range from sci-fi and fantasy to romance to humor, so there’s a good chance you’ll see an author you like or discover someone new you’ll love!

For the current batch of auctions, Jim signed copies of Changes and Side Jobs, his wife Shannon signed Finding the Lost, and the two of them signed the Dark and Stormy Knights anthology, in which they both have stories. Fans of the Dresden Files TV show can also bid on an Avon bear signed by Terrence Mann, who played Bob!

Browse the full list and bid here!

Can’t bid? You can still help fight breast cancer by picking a favorite and spreading the word!

You can talk about it on the forum here. Thanks for helping us Save the Boobs!
