Being on Dead Speak Paranormal Radio was awesome last week, I highly urge people to tune into Renee’s show every Sunday, she knows what questions to ask the guest. She’s been the first to ask me questions about Japanese supernatural urban legends and ghost tales, which is actually my specialty since I studied these tales for my duel majors (Anthropology and Japanese Language and Culture studies.) It was a great show, and next time I’ll have even MORE tales from old Japan to discuss!
Two weekends ago I attended the Queen City ParaCon as a VIP (happy birthday to me) and met Terri Garofalo the cartoonist for Entities-R-Us. Now my other big passion in life besides the paranormal is writing and illustrating comics, mostly long form ones. Since 2003 I’ve worked on a number of projects but had taken a break from doing comics in order to do Haunted Hoosier Halls and take care of family matters. After a lively discussion with her about graphic novels and comics I was convinced that creating a graphic novel about ghost hunting seemed like a pretty good idea.
It still is, there are few graphic novels (one that I can think of that is Japanese in origin) that handle the idea of paranormal investigation, although there are a few webcomics out there that to do. So look for How to Hunt for Ghosts or H2H4G on this website on its own page in the near future.
So, that’s what I’m working on. Haunted Hoosier Halls is still planned to come out this fall (no date specified). Pre-orders from me will go up soon, they will be personally signed by me with a little message in the cover.
Cheers & Happy Hauntings,
Kat
