Two of my books were released this month!
;)
First, First Second recently published Prime Baby, which collects a short story I did for the New York Times at the end of 2008.

Second, Animal Crackers from SLG Publishing collects my first two graphic novels Gordon Yamamoto and the King of the Geeks and Loyola Chin and the San Peligran Order. I've also added a short twelve-page comic at the end where I talk about my process.
Available RIGHT NOW! from your neighborhood comic shop, your local independent bookstore, or Amazon.com.

I found out late last week that "Urgent Request," the last story in The Eternal Smile, was nominated for an Eisner! I have to tell you, I'm extremely proud of that story.
