I had the pleasure of presenting my new graphic novel, The Many Misfortunes of Eugenia Wang to a luncheon full of booksellers at the Mountain & Plains Independent Booksellers Association Conference last week.

The energy at this year’s Heartland Fall Forum is so good this year. Facing down all that’s going on with kindness and community. Book people are some of the best people. #bookstorelove #shoplocal #indiebookstore #midwestbooksellers #GreatLakesBooksellers #mpiba #gliba #indiana #indianapolis

Got to hang out with Torrey House Press tonight. They are an awesome Utah-based publisher and have contributed to a great education. I’ve gotten over the last few hours. I’m so glad that I came to this event. #MPIBA and a bunch of these bookstores seem really interested in #WhisperHousePress books!

I'm traveling this week (thank you, PTO, for sacrificing three of your precious ten days for the publishing cause) to attend the Mountains and Plains Independent Bookseller Association FallCon in Denver.

At a booksellers convention this week in Denver! Big goals. #whisperhousepress #horror #MPIBA #publisher #publishing #independentpublishing

Desert scene, about half blue sky with light clouds. Foreground is a low hill with some small vegetation.

The drive from Salt Lake to Denver is one of my favorites. Headed to the #MPIBA fallcon to meet #indiebookstore owners and fellow #publishers large and small. Yay! #whisperhousepress is on the move!

Really looking forward to meeting other publishers and bookstore proprietors at #mpiba conference in #denver!

Just booked an exhibition table for #whisperhousepress at the #MPIBA in Denver, where I hope to meet every #indiebookstore owner within a 500 mile radius so I can hand you one of our books.📚

When Kelsey and Heather (from @greenfeatherbooks.bsky.social) see each other at cons, this is what it's like. Keep watching for a remix at the end

Someone turn this into an autotune song, plz
