I created the comic Mom's Cancer, which won the 2005 Eisner Award for Best Digital Comic and was published by Abrams in 2006. Other honors included the 2007 Harvey Award for Best New Talent and the 2007 German Youth Literature Prize. My second book, Whatever Happened to the World of Tomorrow?, released by Abrams in June 2009, was nominated for several Eisner and Harvey awards and won the American Astronautical Society's 2009 Emme Award for Best Young Adult Literature. I'm grateful.

Memento Mori
We first noticed this delicate little white flower blooming beside our front walkway when Mom died in 2005 (so long ago yet so recently!). We didn't plant it; don't know what it is. Every year since, it has faithfully blossomed just before her birthday: August 22. This year it did it again.
I don't believe in signs or messages sent from beyond. But if I did, this would be a really good one.
Happy Birthday, Mom. We're thinking about you.
