All the World Aside
August 16, 2024
I’ve completed a new prose novel, All the World Aside, a sequel to Portraits of Familiar Strangers. The events of this new story take place twenty years after the first novel’s narrative and centers around the character of Joyce as she succumbs to a devastating illness. The upcoming book holds a place very close to my heart. During the writing process, my mother endured a series of health struggles.
Over the last year or so, the world truly seemed to go away. So much of my strength and effort was focused on my mother’s health and getting her to a stable place. Hopefully, brighter days are ahead. Information on the upcoming novel will be available soon.
Kindness,
Don
Matters of the Heart
Hopefully I will be able to add new comics for April in the next few days—my mother has been in hospital. A Home Without is dedicated to her and I love her with all my heart, so I am trying to get her well. In the meantime, thank you for visiting and I hope to be back with you soon…
Much Love and Warmth, Don
Thank You Readers!
I just wanted to send a quick thank you and big hug to everyone who attended the writer’s conference in Seattle a few weeks ago. It was great to meet the readers who came by the Northwest Press booth! I greatly enjoyed it. Thanks for giving my graphic novel, A Home Without, a great debut. Much love and happiness to all.
AWP Writer’s Conference
For interested readers, I’ll be attending the book fair portion of the AWP Conference in Seattle this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (March 9th, 10th, and 11th). Look for me at the Northwest Press booth from 1-3 PM on each of those days. I’ll be selling and signing copies of my A Home Without graphic novel 🙂

See You in Seattle
Firstly, a BIG thank you to all readers and patrons of A Home Without. To those in the Seattle, WA area from March 8-11 of 2023, I’ll be signing copies of A Home Without for Northwest Press and meeting readers during the AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) book fair. Look for me under the Northwest Press banner on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 1-3 PM.
A little closer to home, I’ll be guest lecturing for sequential art students at KSU (Kennesaw State University) near Marietta, GA on March 16th, 2023. I’m looking forward to a great discussion on the writing process for comics!

How lovely to find debut copies of A Home Without at the doorstep yesterday evening… early birds should receive theirs soon! 🙂
Thanks to Those at Ichibancon
I just wanted to take a moment and thank those who recently attended the art market for Ichibancon (anime and media convention in Charlotte, NC) on January 12th. I enjoyed seeing everyone—also, an extra special thank you to those who purchased art from the booth!
