Scenes from New York (Part 1)...

Conor and I arrived in New York Monday evening to attend Book Expo America (BEA).  It's the largest convention in the publishing industry in North America and we're here to prime people for the release of our trade paperback edition in November.  Should be an interesting and educational time for us - we're meeting with sales reps, retail buyers, academics, librarians, media, etc.  We also get to finally meet our U.S. publicists (Dan and Lonnie from Smith Publicity) in person for the first time!...We stopped by a number of comic book stores today to see how sales are and all stores sold out their initial orders (and only one has copies of the first issue re-ordered remaining in stock).  First off, we stopped by Forbidden Planet to visit Jeff Ayers and the team there.  It was a great place to hang out and we were able to get a couple new converts to the series right there while hanging out!  Thanks to Jeff and everyone for helping to sell Kill Shakespeare - and for allowing us to hang out on a very busy day!
