About me:
I've been a staff writer with the Daily Herald in suburban Chicago since 1993. I've also written for the Miami Herald, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, Wizard magazine, Chicago magazine, the Advocate, North Shore magazine, www.comicbookresources.com and many other magazines and Web sites. As for comics, my credits include BATMAN ALLIES SECRET FILES AND ORIGINS 2005 and multiple issues of THE BATMAN STRIKES!, both for DC Comics. I'm now one of the regular writers on BATMAN STRIKES. I also wrote the lead story in HOPE: NEW ORLEANS, a fund-raising anthology published by Ronin Studios benefiting the Southeast Louisiana chapter of the Red Cross.

Russell, it was a genuine pleasure to hang out with you yet again, sir. I may be planning a Chicago fun trip for later in the year, and I will be sure to drop you a line when I do.

Also, if you're ever in the Ann Arbor / Detroit area, be sure to give me a ring and we'll hang out. Mi casa es su casa, mi amigo.

I hope you had a great con, and were able to get some rest after all was said and done.
Later, my friend!

Russell,

Sorry we didn't get to talk more... nothing like putting on a con for the first time to suck your time :) Hope you had a good expereince.

Where can I get info about your Hope book to get the word out about that, even though we didn't get a video interview, I would still like to promote the heck out of it (and other projects you might have coming up too!)

talk to you soon,

Eric
