Hey Kids, Comics!
Me and Rob Kelly at the Hey Kids, Comics! book signing
I was super excited to get to go to my friend, Rob Kelly’s book signing at Bookends in Ridgewood, NJ today! I know a lot of you are comic book fans so I thought I’d share his book with you.
Hey Kids, Comics!: True-Life Tales From The Spinner Rack
I haven’t read it yet but I’ll be posting a review as soon as I’m done and will likely be interviewing Rob as well. I’m a huge fan of comics (though admittedly not so much the superhero ones) so I’m sure this is going to be a gem! The link is above if you’re interested in learning more about it.
Rob also runs a pretty amazeballs web comic, called Ace Kilroy, which he describes as Indiana Jones meets the Universal Monsters. It’s currently in Season 2 and it is, of course, totes free. TOTES. 🙂

Happy Holidays, Layne!
I like comics too and I can stand the superhero ones. Have you ever read the Lucifer series?
Happy Holidays, E! 🙂
I have NOT read the Lucifer series! I like the sound of it though! I’m big on things like Sandman, Y: The Last Man and Fables.
I didn’t love Y but I bet you’d love Lucifer… : )
I’ll definitely check it out. 🙂 I’ll see if the local library has it and if not, I know quite a few comic shops.
i love comic books!#D
Then you will probably love this book! 🙂 Comics are awesome!
Ok, I’ll try to find it online~! if not at a nearby bookstore! Thx for sharing this by the way!
😉
I included the link for the Amazon and I believe you can find it on the Hey Kids, Comics! website but hopefully it is in a nearby store! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
Gotta love New Jersey!
Oh def! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoy living here. 🙂
I grew up in Bergen County and always wanted to leave, but now look back fondly. My novel takes place in Englewood 🙂 My mother worked in Ridgewood and my father was a cop in New Milford. What brought you to the Garden State?
Nice! I’ve lived here four years now, all in Morris County. And I met a guy. 😉 Broke up with the guy and decided I liked it better here than Alabama. 🙂 I’ll have to check out your novel – I’m a big reader as well as movie watcher!
My husband wants to move to Alabama 🙂 I met him and moved up to Saratoga NY. I like the cold so he has some major convincing to do. I hope New Jersey people are treating you well.
New Jersey and New York people so far have all been awesome. 🙂 To me, it’s not that different from Alabama – strangers still come up and talk to me all the time, lol. I don’t know about moving to Bama though… 😉 Nah, there’s good and bad just like everywhere else but if you like the cold, then you will just die in the summers there, lol.
Yes, I find that no matter where you go if you’re open to it, people are friendly. I’m a complainer when it comes to humidity. It’s in my husband’s best interest to stay north 🙂 Do you miss anything about the south?
Haha, definitely in his best interest then! 😉 Hmm…I miss the warmth for sure (I’m a big complainer when it comes to the cold, lol)…there are certain foods I miss that aren’t up here…but being here is SO much better for me with my chosen careers and just how I am as a person. 🙂
Have you chosen to be a mafia boss? haha. Glad you’re enjoying NJ. I feel oddly protective of my home state.
*giggles* No, just an actress. And I understand the protectiveness. 🙂
I was going to guess ACTRESS! Much success! If my book ever gets made into a movie maybe you can star in it 🙂
Thank you! And that would be awesome! 🙂 I’m a writer as well – just got done filming a web series I wrote. And much success to you with your novel!! I’m excited to read it. 🙂
Let me know when it comes out–is it a scary thriller?
Oh, it’ll be posted here. 🙂 And no, it’s a dramedy.
I like dramedys. I’ll keep an eye out for it.

Awesome, Misty! Going to check to see if my library has a copy! Go Jersey!
I’m not sure if it’s in libraries yet but I know they’re working on that but yes, go Jersey! 🙂
Sounds cool!
So far I’m loving it! Lots of fun essays!
