I attended ConnectiCon, held in Hartford, July 9-12, 2015.
As always, I sought out graphic and illustrated novel writers and artists. I had the opportunity to speak with well-know authors and some lesser-known ones, as well as the founder of a writers’ resource repository.
These interviews will be posted on the brand new A. Book’s Review YouTube Channel over the next seven days.
Although the story was written by a Canadian, the illustrations were done by a Croatian and as far as I am concerned that counts as part of “Europe Month” for Around the World Reading Challenge, 2015.
Rush is my all-time favorite band. When I had heard about “Neil Peart’s graphic novel,” I had to read it. While looking for it, which was slowly coming out as 6 serials, I discovered the illustrated novel.
Much to my delight, the graphic novel version, illustrated by Nick Robles, will be available on April 7th. Stay tuned for an update.
Note: I failed to mention in the review that award-winning rock album cover artist Hugh Syme created the cover art and chapter illustrations.
I met Tony at a book fair last fall. “Nefarious Twit” sounded intriguing and turned out to be well-worth the climb.
Where did the ladder lead you?
