Yuri Event

In an unusual turn of events, both Rica Takashima and I will be at Flame Con, a fantastic LGBTQ+ comic event in New York City on Saturday, August 20.  This means if you come by to pick up a copy of By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Anime and Manga, you will get it signed by the author and cover artist!

Rica also will have a lot of prints and comics for sale all weekend. I am not sure if I’ll be there on Sunday, but I’m doing a panel on Saturday on the History of Yuri and will be there to sell and sign after! My panel is at 12:45, I’ll see you there. ^_^

Thanks everyone who has picked up the book so far! If you haven’t yet gotten your copy, By Your Side is now available on iBooks as well.  Get your copy on pretty much every online platform possible and at bookstores near you. I hope you’ll all consider recommending it, dropping a review on Amazon or Goodreads, your local library and letting folks know about it. ^_^
