TROUBLEMAKER cover/C2E2 appearance cancelled

Quick Update: I will not be attending C2E2 in Chicago any longer. My schedule won't allow it if I've going to get these books out on time. Jamie S. Rich and Nicolas Hitori de will still be there with Spell Checkers vol. 1, and then all three of us will still have a table at Stumptown.

I apologize to all of those I would have met in Chicago.

Troublemaker Solicits: Dark Horse has solicited the first volume of Troublemaker and released an updated cover.

Alex Barnaby and Sam Hooker are back together and fighting crime the only way they know how—by leaving a trail of chaos, panic, and disorder. Alex, an auto mechanic and spotter for racecar driver Sam Hooker, is drawn to trouble like a giant palmetto bug to a day-old taco. Unfortunately, she’s also drawn to Hooker in the same fashion. There’s no steering clear of trouble or Hooker when Felicia calls for help. Rosa has gone missing, and in order to find her Barnaby and Hooker will have to go deep into the underbelly of Miami and southern Florida, surviving petro voodoo, explosions, gift-wrapped body parts, a deadly swamp chase, and Hooker’s mom.

• Janet Evanovich, author of Finger Lickin’ Fifteen, continues her New York Times best-selling Barnaby series with her very first graphic novel!

• Written by Janet and Alex Evanovich, and illustrated by Joëlle Jones (Dr. Horrible)!
