Tracy White is the new graphic novel author and illustrator of How I Made it to Eighteen. She is also an avid online comic author, whose site can be found at www.traced.com.
How I Made it to Eighteen may touch on some deep, meaningful, and even sometimes sensitive topics for many teenagers, but it is completely accessible to teachers, parents, and students alike. Honest and unashamed, White’s work is engaging and hard to put down. It’s definite a good, thoughtful read. White discussed the work—and the traumatic time that inspired it—with GraphicNovelReporter.

Last week I shared a little bit of what I saw at the Editor's Buzz talk at BookExpo America. Well, guess what, there's more! These are the titles the editors from some of the major houses really believe in. The one's they believe will be the big books of the coming year. So since I know what to look for, I figure you should be in the loop too!
Summer has crept into the city, and the humidity has made June feel like late July or August. My older son Greg is juggling his day between taking a class at college --- conveniently just blocks from the office --- and working with us. And of course, with him being around, adventures prevail. Last weekend, on a whim, he flew to Ottawa. Why Ottawa? Well, he had not seen it and Continental had a great special running, and he could not turn it down. Yes, he is his mother’s son. He can pack in a heartbeat and hit the road.
