Central Texas Teen Comic Con & Kids’ Con will be held on December 2nd, 2017 in Round Rock, Texas. When students have the opportunity to meet an author or hear them speak in person, we see a much higher independent reading rate. This free event is a graphic novel and comic convention aimed at offering teens, kids, and educators the chance to interact with popular authors and illustrators, participate in workshops, and showcase their creativity.

Tweens Read 2012

Dave — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 03:55:24 +0000

I was trilled and honored to be a guest at the Tweens Read festival in Houston, Texas this past weekend, hosted by Blue Willow Books.

All the authors were greeted by homemade cupcakes featuring their most recent books! How can you top a Teen Boat cupcake?

How about a cafeteria filled with kids who love books coming out on a Saturday afternoon to meet and listen to a bunch of authors?

Heather Brewer (The Slayer Chronicles) gave an amazing and empowering keynote speech to the entire crowd before they separated into specific tracks based on different themes.

I was on the graphic novel track with Rachel Renee Russell (Dork Diaries), Raina Telgemeier (Drama), and Amy Ignatow (Popularity Papers)

The four of us participated in a special graphic novel luncheon with a group of kids who were selected based on their comics-making enthusiasm! Got to have some great conversations and check out some their artwork and stories in progress.

The presentations went so quickly because the kids all had so many great questions!

And the end of the day we signed books for all the amazing fans!

Thanks to the organizers of this amazing book festival and all the wonderful people who came out for it!

KIRKUS REVIEWSVIDEO INTERVIEW

Dave — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 16:34:12 +0000

While in Texas, earlier this summer, I recorded a video interview with Vicky Smith of Kirkus Reviews. It was especially fun, because Vicky was genuinely enthusiastic about Astronaut Academy and really seemed interested in knowing what my thoughts were behind it. I talk a lot about the quirky language, eclectic cast and emotional enthusiasm! The video includes lots of art from the book and I even wore a tie for the occasion!
